If you haven\u2019t done so already, now\u2019s the time to go and inspect your roof for repairs. Winter is over, so unless there was damage that needed to be handled ASAP, delaying your trip up the roof was probably for the best. Now, the weather\u2019s warmer and while some days are slipperier than others, there\u2019s probably a nice, dry day or two in the week where you can scale the roof and check for damage.<\/p>\n

Most shingled roofs can last about twenty-five years before needing serious repairs or a roof replacement<\/a>. Metal roofs and stone-roofs can last longer. Either way, roofs need to be replaced or repaired at one time or another. Here\u2019s why spring is a good time to check your roof for damage.<\/p>\n

Why now?<\/h4>\n

A lot can damage your roof in the winter. From ice dams to fluctuating temperatures, your roof goes through a lot in the colder months. Once it gets warm, it\u2019s a good idea to give it a once-over for damage you missed, or little damage that can turn into big damage.<\/p>\n

Plus, it\u2019s tax return season, so if you need repairs now, using an upcoming tax return is a good way to keep repairs or a much-needed roof replacement from breaking your bank.<\/p>\n

Not as busy as fall<\/h4>\n

Roof professionals tout fall as the best time of year to replace or repair your roof. However, it\u2019s also the busiest time. The reason fall is considered prime time to repair or replace a roof is due to the more moderate weather \u2013 steady temperatures and less precipitation that guarantee more productive workdays \u2013 but late spring can work as well since contractors aren\u2019t as booked. Plus, it doesn\u2019t rain as much in May and June.<\/p>\n

What to look for<\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re trying to see if your roof needs repairs, look for cracked patches, buckling shingles, and leaks. Also, go into your attic and see if there are any holes \u2013 if you see the sun shining, you need a repair!<\/p>\n

Some roof repair signs can be seen from the ground, like a sagging roof. Others are harder to spot, and others aren\u2019t necessarily a sign that your roof needs fixing, like mold and fungus.<\/p>\n

Speaking of growth, finding a \u201cgarden\u201d you don\u2019t want to see on your roof isn\u2019t a sign you need a completely new roof. It could just be that your roof needs a good spring cleaning (or summer or fall if you find it there then).<\/p>\n
