How Often Should Shingle Roofs Be Inspected?

Shingle roofs in Palm Beach County, Florida should be professionally inspected at least once per year, plus after any major storm event. Annual inspections allow a licensed contractor to identify granule loss, curling or lifting shingles, flashing deterioration, and algae growth before these issues lead to water infiltration and costly interior damage.

What to Expect During a Shingle Roof Inspection

• Granule loss assessment: Inspecting shingles for granule depletion, a key indicator of remaining shingle life

• Wind damage check: Looking for lifted, curling, cracked, or missing shingles from storm events

• Flashing condition: All metal flashings around penetrations are inspected for corrosion, gaps, or lifting

• Algae and mold presence: Identifying biological growth that degrades shingles over time

• Ridge and hip cap condition: Checking ridge shingles for proper sealing and wind resistance

• Gutter condition: Checking for granule accumulation in gutters — a sign of accelerating shingle wear
