Ridgeline Roofers Encourages Homeowners to Order Annual Roof Inspections

Columbia, MD - Industry studies show that mending a roof can be the most costly repair a homeowner can face, with a full replacement ranging from $9,000 to $21,000. With this in mind, Ridgeline Roofers spokesperson Ernest Krebs announced a campaign to educate the public on the need for a roofing inspection on an annual basis.

The best Maryland roofing companies will tell you that your home’s roof should be inspected one to two times per year, but we all know most homeowners will go years without a proper roof inspection. There are three main reasons why. First, people don’t know their roof needs an inspection. Two, they don’t want to pay for it. Finally, they’re afraid of being told they have a roof in need of replacement, which can set them back $9,000 to $21,000 for a 1,500 sqft slanted roof, depending on the type of roofing materials needed.

Says Krebs, "The whole purpose behind a roof inspection is to find any lurking problems as well as gauge how much life is left in a roof. A lot happens during each year, from frigid cold temps to damaging winds and hail. An inspector needs to look at the roof angle, determining how long it takes for water to evaporate. Additionally, they should walk on the roof, checking for weak spots indicating rot or leaks. It's important the Columbia roofing inspection be thorough, covering the entire roof."

A number of factors affect the condition of the roof, therefore, homeowners may need to vary their inspections taking into account weather damage, the direction of the sun and insulation issues. One side of the roof may be more vulnerable than the other, so Krebs emphasizes it is important for a complete inspection to be completed.

Krebs continues, emphasizing how important a Ridgeline Roofers roofing inspection is after big storms. "After a devastating hail storm, few things are more important than rapidly repairing the damage in order to prevent further obstacles. The problem so many homeowners have, though, is how time consuming filing an insurance claim can be. That's why we assign our clients a personal account manager to come to your home or commercial site and assist with all insurance claim paperwork and negotiations."

Krebs concludes, "Just like you maintain a sizable investment like your car, the same should hold true on your roof. While cars need continual maintenance like oil and filters, roofs need only minimal maintenance. With an annual inspection, you have extra protection and you ensure the roof is functioning properly. Failing to have your roof inspected will ultimately lead to early failure and expensive repairs or replacements. Through early detection, a homeowner can save thousands of dollars over the life of the home. For a roof to keep its long term value, a roof inspection and regular maintenance are imperative."
