At Hoover Pressure Cleaning, we know that roof care goes beyond just keeping things clean—it’s about protecting your home from the top down. That’s why we’ve teamed up with our trusted partners at SonShine Roofing in Sarasota to help bring awareness to the importance of roof maintenance and periodic roof inspections.
We sat down with the team at SonShine Roofing to ask some of the most common questions homeowners have when it comes to roof care.
Q: Why should a homeowner have their roof inspected regularly?
A: Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. Over time, small issues like cracked tiles, loose flashing, or clogged valleys can lead to major damage that you won’t notice until it’s too late. Regular inspections allow us to catch those small problems early—before they become expensive repairs or cause water intrusion. Your insurance company may also deny your claim due to “preexisting damage” if you don’t have proper documentation of your roof’s condition before a major storm.
Q: How often should I have my roof checked in Florida’s climate?
A: We recommend it at least once a year. Florida’s heat, humidity, and hurricane season can really wear on your roof. By getting a yearly inspection before hurricane season, you are guaranteed to be in the best shape possible to not only weather the storm, but also the claim denials from your insurance company.
Q: What does a typical roof inspection from SonShine Roofing include?
A: We provide a full visual inspection that includes checking for missing or broken shingles or tiles, signs of moisture or leaks, flashing integrity, proper ventilation, skylight condition, valley condition, and more. This is all bundled in our Tip Top Roof Check-up 18-point inspection package. Afterward, we offer a full report and honest recommendations—no pressure, just peace of mind.
Q: Do you handle repairs or just inspections?
A: We’re a full-service roofing contractor. That means we inspect, repair, maintain, and replace all types of residential roofs. Whether it’s a tile, shingle, or metal roof, our team is trained to handle it.
Q: What are some signs that my roof might need repair, even if I haven’t had it inspected yet?
A: Some telltale signs include:
- Water stains on your ceiling
- Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
- Dark streaks or algae growth
- Sagging areas
- Granules in your gutters (for shingle roofs)
- Just experienced a major storm
- Roof has gone 10+ years without an inspection
Even if you’re not seeing these signs yet, it’s better to be proactive. Taking care of your roof is like anything else: preventative maintenance is the cheapest and most effective option in the long run.
Q: Can you work alongside other exterior service providers, like pressure cleaners?
A: Absolutely! We often work with companies like Hoover Pressure Cleaning to make sure your roof gets cleaned the right way—without damage. Cleaning and maintenance go hand in hand with inspections. When we work together, your roof not only looks better, it performs better too.
