You want to get those looked at as soon as possible to prevent further roof damage, such as water ingress and potential bird and rodent infestation.
When was my roof last inspected?
It is recommended to have your roof inspected at least once per year. Generally, the best time for a roof inspection is right before winter, right? Well, that’s not quite right, if you leave your runt to late the weather is going to turn and a lot of the work that may be required may not be able to be done in the wet weather. Unfortunately, most people tend to forget about their homes first defense until it is too late and it has been penetrated and there is damage elsewhere.
