Roof Inspection FAQ for Buffalo Homeowners

How often should Buffalo homeowners get roof inspection?
Given Buffalo's lake-effect snow from lake erie averaging 93 inches per year, most homeowners benefit from roof inspection at least once a year. Roof snow load management and ice dam removal (Nov–April) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Buffalo most need roof inspection?
Victorian and Edwardian homes in the Elmwood Village and Brick bungalows throughout Erie County are the most common home types in Buffalo and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How often should a roof be inspected?
Annually is ideal, especially for roofs over 10 years old. Always inspect after significant hail or wind events, and before selling or buying a home.
Will a roofing company give me an honest inspection, or just try to sell me a new roof?
Reputable roofers provide honest assessments. We provide detailed written reports with photos. If we recommend replacement, we explain exactly why — get a second opinion on any major recommendation.
What does an inspection include?
We inspect shingles (missing, cracked, curling, granule loss), flashings, valleys, pipe boots, ridge cap, gutters, fascia, soffits, and the attic interior for moisture or structural concerns.
Can you inspect my roof without walking on it?
Yes. For steep, fragile, or complex roofs, we use drone inspection with high-resolution cameras and can provide equally thorough assessments without physically walking the surface.
