How Often Should I Have My Roof Inspected in Arizona?

In Arizona, your roof is your home’s primary defense against a relentless environment. The question isn’t if it will need maintenance, but when. Proactive care is not just a recommendation; it’s a necessity for protecting your investment.

For most Arizona homeowners, we recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year.

This annual check-up is the single most effective way to catch minor issues caused by sun and storms before they escalate into major, costly repairs.

Our climate creates unique challenges that demand a vigilant approach:

• Sun Damage: UV radiation relentlessly breaks down materials, making shingles brittle and drying out underlayment.
• Monsoon Storms: High winds can lift tiles and shingles, while driving rain tests every seal and flashing.
• Thermal Stress: Extreme daily temperature swings cause materials to expand and contract, weakening their integrity over time.

An annual inspection identifies this wear and tear early.

Timing is everything. The ideal schedule is:

1. Spring (April-May): This is the most critical inspection. A thorough check before the summer monsoon season ensures your roof is prepared to handle heavy rain and high winds. It allows ample time to schedule any necessary repairs.
   
   
2. Fall (October-November): A follow-up inspection after monsoon season assesses any damage that may have occurred over the summer and ensures your roof is ready for the cooler winter months.
   

Certain situations call for more immediate attention. Schedule an inspection ASAP if you notice:

• Any visible leaks or water stains on ceilings or walls.
• Missing, cracked, or curling shingles or tiles.
• Granules from shingles accumulating in your gutters.
• Damage after a severe storm with high winds or hail.
• Your roof is over 20 years old (shingles) or 25 years old (tiles).
  

Our free inspections are comprehensive. We don’t just look from the ground; we conduct a hands-on assessment that includes:

• Checking for damaged or missing shingles or tiles.
• Examining flashings around vents, chimneys, and walls.
• Assessing the condition of seals and underlayment.
• Evaluating gutter and drainage system function.
• Providing a detailed report with photos and clear recommendations.
  

Don’t wait for a leak to discover a problem. The cost of an inspection is minimal compared to the cost of repairing water damage to your home’s interior.



We offer free, no-obligation inspections to give you peace of mind. We’ll give you an honest assessment and a clear plan to keep your roof in optimal condition.

Q: Is an annual inspection necessary if my roof is new?

A: Yes. Even new roofs can suffer damage from a severe storm. Establishing a baseline with an annual inspection ensures any installation or material issues are caught early while under warranty.

Q: Can I inspect my roof myself?

A: While you can look for obvious signs of damage from the ground, a professional inspection is crucial. Trained experts safely navigate the roof to identify hidden problems, like deteriorated underlayment or loose flashings, that are impossible to see from below.

Q: What if the inspection finds a problem?

A: We provide a detailed, transparent report with photos. If repairs are needed, we will give you a clear, fair quote and explain all your options with no obligation to proceed.
