When Do I Need a Roof Inspection?

You’ve probably heard Lake of the Ozarks roofing companies talk about getting a roof inspection but you may be wondering when a roof inspection is necessary. It’s extremely important that your roof remains in great shape becasue it protects your home from the outside elements. Find out when you should call for a roof inspection by asking yourself these questions.


Is it possible I have hail or wind damage? 

Hail storms and tornadoes are both popular weather occurrences in Missouri. If your home is subject to any type of severe weather, it's possible your roof sustained storm damage. If other homes on your block have roof damage, it's definitely a good idea to have yours checked out. Since we offer free roof inspections at the Lake of the Ozarks, it doesn't hurt to have your roof looked at after a big storm.

Do I have missing or lifted roof shingles? 

It’s not always easy to spot roof issues from the ground. However, if you notice any missing or lifted roof shingles, you're going to want to schedule a roof inspection. You want to get those shingles replaced as soon as possible to prevent further roof damage, such as water seeping inside your home.


How long has it been since my roof was last inspected? 


It is recommended to have your roof inspected twice per year. This is because both winter weather and summer weather can affect your roof differently, and here at the Lake of the Ozarks, we can have some weather on both extremes. If you don't know when your roof was last inspected, it's probably a good idea to have it looked over by a professional. Small issues can lead to costly problems down the road. If addressed early on, you can save a lot of money and frustration.

Are there granules in my gutters and downspouts? 

As you are cleaning out your gutters in preparation for summer, check for shingle granules that may have come off and accumulated in your gutters or downspouts. An excessive amount of granules could mean that it's time to have your roof replaced. These granules are a protective coating on your shingles, so without them, your roof is more vulnerable to leaks and other roof damage.

Finding the right contractor can be challenging, but these 3 tips can help you make the right choice. 1.

Once the company comes out to big, you’ll find you’re being charged for the most expensive products on the market. These companies survive on storm chasing and tricking you into paying any price...
