If a major storm swept through your area recently, you should be at least a little concerned about the condition of your roof. Even if your roof is on the newer side, it could have been damaged by rain, wind, hail, and whatever else the storm threw at it. Consider having a professional roof estimate done sooner than later. Take a look at some of the benefits of having your roof inspected following a storm below.
A roofer can spot obvious problems with your roof.
The first thing that a roofer will do during a roof estimate is look for any obvious signs of trouble. This includes everything from missing shingles to damaged flashing. In some cases, you might be able to see these problems on your own. But they’re not always obvious to those who can’t see their entire roof from the ground level.
They can also uncover small issues you might not notice on your own.
In addition to looking for obvious signs of damage on your roof, a roofer will also keep an eye out for smaller issues with your roofing materials. There could be small leaks in your roof following a storm. There could also be a tiny piece of flashing missing that is allowing moisture to enter your home. By making small repairs to your roof now, a roofing company can prevent you from having to endure much bigger problems with it in the future.
They can even work with your insurance company to cover the cost of roof repair.
Any damage that’s done to your home’s roof during a major storm might be covered under your homeowner’s insurance policy. An experienced roofing company will be able to work with your insurance company with regards to filing claims. They can speak with you about how to get the money you’ll need to make repairs, both big and small, to your roof.
