Your roof is exposed to all the elements, causing wear and tear, URB’n Roofing, and standard industry recommendations are having 2 annual roof inspections.
Another time to have your roof inspected is when there are severe weather events including hail, storms, downpouring rain, and wind. Having these inspections can help detect minor small issues, and rectify them immediately, saving you money, time, and stress.

- Ridge cap beddings falling out
- Holes or splits around penetrations (eg. Vent pipes)
- Tiles slipping into valleys
