A lot of homeowners prefer to handle roof maintenance and roof inspections on their own. Now, this isn’t a big problem as long as you know what you’re doing. However, for homeowners who just check for roofing damage from the ground, things can get ugly pretty fast.
The problem when checking for damage from the ground is that you don’t have complete visibility over your entire roof. A larger slope might present you with the illusion that you do. After all, a large slope and a taller roof means better visibility. However, even in such cases, the very fact that your roof is sloped can impair your ability to see it clearly. Also, the distance and the nature of some minor (but significant) forms of damage, such as roofing leaks, can make it harder to spot the damages that might actually lead to the early demise of your roof.
As such, it’s very important to call your local Highlands Ranch roofers and schedule a roof inspection at least once a year. Aside from annual or bi-annual maintenance, a roof inspection is also very essential, since it will shed light on problems that aren’t typically seen. These might include: leaks, slightly cracked shingles, ventilation and insulation problems, and many other concerns that you wouldn’t expect to spot just by taking a quick look from the ground.
