A practical inspection schedule for Maryland roofs, including routine checks and situations that justify immediate attention.
A practical inspection schedule
Many homeowners benefit from a professional roof inspection about once per year, especially when the roof is older, heavily shaded, surrounded by trees, or has a history of leaks.
A newer roof in good condition may not require the same level of attention, but routine visual checks are still useful.
Inspect after significant storms
An additional inspection may be appropriate after high winds, hail, falling debris, tropical systems, or severe thunderstorms.
Inspect when new symptoms appear
Do not wait for the next routine inspection when there are new ceiling stains, active leaks, missing shingles, damaged flashing, or visible debris impact.
Older roofs deserve closer monitoring
As asphalt shingles age, they may become more brittle, lose granules, crack, curl, or become harder to repair without causing additional damage.
