Why regular inspections matter for Florida homeowners
Florida’s weather is tough on roofs. Between intense sunshine, heavy rains, high humidity, and hurricane-force winds, even a well-built roof can show signs of wear faster than in other parts of the country. The best way to protect your home is by scheduling regular roof inspections.
How Often Should You Schedule an Inspection?
At least once per year: A yearly inspection helps catch small issues like lifted shingles, nail pops, or minor leaks before they grow.
Before and after hurricane season: June through November is storm season in Florida. A pre-season inspection ensures your roof is prepared, and a post-season inspection checks for damage that might not be obvious from the ground.
After major storms: If your neighborhood experiences high winds, hail, or flying debris, it’s wise to have a professional look at your roof right away.
What Inspectors Look For
- A trained roofing professional will check for:
- Granule loss in your shingles (a sign of aging).
- Cracks, curling, or missing shingles.
- Stains or dark streaks that indicate algae or mildew growth.
- Leaks or water intrusion in the attic.
- Exposed or rusted nails, failing sealants, or weak flashing.
Why Skipping Inspections Costs More
Minor problems left unchecked can lead to expensive repairs or even a full roof replacement years earlier than necessary. A simple sealant touch-up or small repair today might save thousands tomorrow.
