How Often Should A Flat Roof, Metal Roof or Commercial Roof Be Inspected?

It depends on the slope of your roof. A low slope roof (up to 3:12 slope) the suggested frequency is twice a year. For a steep slope roof (in excess of a 3:12 slope) inspect once a year. This doesn’t eliminate the need to inspect drainage devices, such as gutters and downspouts, on steep slope roofs, on a biannual basis.

When Is The Best Time For A Commercial Roof Inspection in Fort Worth?

It is best to inspect your roof before you plan your budget. Plan one inspection so that you receive the inspection reports and corresponding budget forecasts at the beginning of your budgeting process. It is also common when planning biannual inspections to conduct them in the spring or fall. Dallas and Fort Worth in North Texas experience severe hail storms in the spring and intense heat during the summer months which can damage your roof and alter its life expectancy.
