However, homes with roofs over 15 years old, properties surrounded by tall trees, or homes that have experienced recent severe weather may benefit from semi-annual inspections. The unique Santa Fe climate, with its intense sunlight and occasional severe weather, can accelerate wear on roofing materials.
