The baseline schedule
For a roof with no known problems, every two to three years is a sensible default — frequent enough to catch small issues before they turn into leaks, without paying for inspections a healthy roof doesn't really need.
Process
How Often Should You Get Your Roof Inspected?
Roughly every two to three years for a roof with no known issues — plus a handful of specific moments where it's worth doing one sooner, regardless of schedule.
After any major storm
Hail, high winds, or fallen branches can damage a roof in ways that aren't obvious from the ground. Getting it checked after a significant storm — even without an obvious leak — catches damage before it worsens with the next rain.
Before buying, and before selling
A roof inspection ahead of buying a home can reveal costs that aren't obvious in a standard building report. Ahead of selling, it lets you address anything significant before it becomes a negotiating point during the sale.
When the roof hasn't been looked at in years
If you genuinely can't remember the last time anyone checked your roof, that's reason enough on its own — a first inspection often surfaces small, cheap fixes that would have become expensive if left another few years.
