Most roofing companies don’t hurt for business, especially during the summer months. After frozen winters and spring storms, homeowners begin to notice their roof may need some extra TLC. Even if the roof doesn’t appear to be damaged a few hot summer days could quickly lead a small repair into a big job.

The problem most homeowners face is minor damages that are not visible to the naked eye. Without routine inspection a small crack in a roof shingle could easily lead to bigger problems, like water damage and mold. Homeowners should always take the time to inspect their roof or have a professional look it over for any damage. Most roofers charge minimally for routine inspections and may even be able to save the homeowner money by catching a minor problem early.
Roof contractors are pleased with the increase in summertime business and many are still making great profits without the need for a complete roof repair. Even small repairs can mean big bucks for the roofer if the homeowner comes back for repeat service in the future. The relationship between homeowner and roofer can be a mutually beneficial one, if the service is done honestly and responsibly.
