Q: How often should roofs be inspected professionally?

• <div><p>Annually, or after major storms, to assess any potential damage.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if I have ridge vents?

• <div><p>You can tell if you have ridge vents by looking at the roof&rsquo;s peak from outside. A ridge vent will look like a speed bump or slight rise away from the roof&rsquo;s surface and will likely be covered in the same material as the rest of the roof. You can also tell from inside your attic&mdash;look up at the roof ridge to see if there is light coming through along the length of the ridge.</p></div>

Q: How long can a roof leak go unnoticed?

• <div><p>Roof leaks can go undetected for months or even years. A smaller leak that doesn&rsquo;t cause visible signs in your home&rsquo;s living area may allow water intrusion for a long time before you notice it. The longer a leak goes undetected, the worse the damage will be, so it&rsquo;s important to frequently check for signs of a leak to keep a small problem from getting much bigger. </p></div>

Q: Can hail damage a metal roof?

• <div><p>Metal roofs are more resistant to hail than other types of roof materials; however, hail can still damage a metal roof. The extent of the damage depends on the size of the hail and the severity of the hail storm. The type of damage a metal roof can get from hail includes dents, scratches, loose fasteners, leaks, and cracked paint. </p></div>

Q: How long do eaves last?

• <div><p>Eaves will last as long as the roof, often <b>15 to 30 years</b> or more, depending on the type of roof. Since eaves are part of the roof, their life span will depend on the roof's condition, although they can still be damaged by faulty gutters or pest damage, shortening their longevity.</p></div>
