How Often Should Shingle Roofs Be Inspected?

Shingle roofs in Palm Beach County should be professionally inspected at least once per year, ideally before the June 1 start of hurricane season. Additional inspections should be performed after every hurricane, tropical storm, or severe weather event. Regular inspections catch early signs of granule loss, wind damage, lifted shingles, and flashing failures — all of which are common in Florida’s demanding climate and can lead to leaks and premature roof failure if left unaddressed.

What a Shingle Roof Inspection Covers

• Granule loss assessment — Checking for bare spots indicating shingle wear

• Wind damage — Looking for lifted, cracked, or missing shingles

• Flashing integrity — Checking all flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys

• Algae and moss growth — Particularly prevalent in Palm Beach County’s humid climate

• Gutter condition and drainage performance
