Many Connecticut homeowners have never had a professional roof inspection. A proper roof inspection can find problems that homeowners completely miss from the ground, catch insurance-eligible damage before it causes interior leaks, and potentially save thousands.
When Should a Connecticut Homeowner Get a Roof Inspection?
After any significant storm — hail, high winds (50+ mph), tornado, ice storm, or Nor'easter. Don't wait for a visible interior leak.
When buying a home in Connecticut — A specialized roof inspection before closing can reveal issues worth thousands in negotiation leverage.
Every 3–5 years — For proactive maintenance on roofs older than 10 years. Catching a failing valley or damaged flashing costs $300–$800 to fix. Ignoring it costs $5,000–$15,000 in water damage.
If your CT roof is 15+ years old — Annual inspection is wise. Many Connecticut homeowners are surprised to learn their insurance may not renew or may require a roof replacement on roofs older than 20 years.
Before selling your Connecticut home — Know what buyers' inspectors will find before the deal is on the table.
