Why should I get my roof in Phoenix inspected?
The basic purpose of inspecting your roof is to examine the roof closely to determine the condition of the roof. The inspection will determine whether you should get repairs to a specific area, whether the roof is currently in excellent condition, or whether you should replace the entire roof with a new roof (which often will be covered by your insurance company or a warranty).
Sometimes, a few quick and small repairs can result in the entire roof lasting several more years without the need for major repairs or replacement, plus prevent the development of
leaks that would have led to the need for
water damage restoration and even mold remediation services. (To learn more about the details of the process, click here: what happens when we will inspect your roof?).
How important to you is everything under your roof?

Further, keep in mind that the roof itself is not the only issue. Your
roof in Phoenix is your first layer of defense against damage from
hail, wind, dust, rain, and extreme temperatures. Everything under the roof is protected by the roof, right?
So, how important to you is what is under the roof? That is how important the roof is to you! Think of it like this: if a tree fell in to your roof Phoenix, would you prefer for the roof to completely collapse or to simply get a big dent?

Basically, if there is even a small, slow leak in the roof, then that can lead to
water damage, the rotting of wood, and contamination by mold. Further, if there is ever a major leak from the roof, then naturally the interior of the building will flood, leading to the urgent need for extensive
damage restoration and
remodeling services.
What frequency of inspections is best for maximizing my insurance coverage?

In the event that potential major repairs can be prevented by a small, quick repair, your insurance company may be very eager to solve a big
water damage problem by preventing the damage from ever starting. That is why many repairs to your roof will be covered by your homeowner's insurance (whether or not the manufacturer's warranty on the roofing will help pay for the repair of your roof in Phoenix).
So, when our roof inspector comes to you in Phoenix, the
inspection will be useful to assess which repairs are likely to be covered for free (either with absolutely no cost to the homeowner or after they cover the annual deductible amount for their home owner's insurance).

What if the roof inspector finds no need for urgent roof repairs?
What a relief, right? In some cases, the contractor inspecting the roof in Phoenix will determine that there are no priority repairs needed. In that case, an assessment can be made about when to plan the next routine roof inspection (assuming that you do not request one earlier due to a concern with
storm or
hail damage to the roof prior to the next scheduled inspection). Also, for roofs that have regular maintenance requirements, such as a new layer of coating, then a roof inspection that does not find any urgent
repair needs can at least provide a more precise
estimate of when to schedule the next routine maintenance activities.
