It may sound counterintuitive, but the expense incurred by professionally-conducted roof inspections can pay off in the long run — and may even result in significant savings. In today’s post, local roofing company Easton Roofing takes a look at the ways that roofing inspections can help you save money.
-
Prevent costly repairs. No roof is immune from damage caused by regular wear and tear. The whole point of roof inspections is keeping an eye out for signs of damage and having them fixed by a roofer before prolonged exposure to the elements can increase the damage. Repairs done when the damage is minimal will involve less materials and labor, and therefore will cost less.
-
Get more years out of your roof. It’s no secret that roof replacement is a costly project, which is why many homeowners want to get as many years out of it as they can. Having roofing contractors conduct regular inspections as part of the roof’s maintenance routine will help ensure reliable performance and even get you a few years beyond its expected life span.
-
Keep your home valuable. Whether you’re looking into selling your home or just want to maintain its value, keeping up with regular inspections is one step in doing so. Given how important the roof is to any building, damage and deterioration can severely impact its value. Should you decide to sell your home, a roof in great condition will make your home more attractive to home buyers and lead to a more favorable sale price.
-
Better insurance premiums. Many insurance companies offer discounts or incentives for homeowners who keep up with roofing maintenance — after all, a By demonstrating that you take proactive steps to care for your roof, you may qualify for reduced insurance premiums, which can lead to long-term savings.
-
Lower utility bills. The roof forms the house’s energy envelope, together with the exterior walls and fenestrations (windows, entry doors and skylights). Heat leaks and insulation problems may not be noticeable as holes in the roof, but they can impact your home’s energy efficiency, which can result in an increase in your utility bills. Having such problems fixed by attic insulation contractors as soon as they’re found can result in energy savings, particularly during the summer and winter seasons.
