Common Issues We Identify

Early detection saves money and prevents major damage

Missing or Damaged Shingles

Wind, age, and weather can cause shingles to crack, curl, or blow off completely. We identify compromised shingles before leaks develop.

Flashing Failures

Deteriorated or improperly installed flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys is a leading cause of roof leaks that we catch early.

Granule Loss

Excessive granule loss from asphalt shingles indicates aging and UV damage, signaling that replacement may be necessary soon.

Ventilation Problems

Inadequate attic ventilation leads to heat and moisture buildup, causing premature aging, mold growth, and structural damage.

Ponding Water

Water that pools on flat or low-slope roofs accelerates deterioration and creates leak risks. We identify drainage issues and solutions.

Structural Issues

Sagging, soft spots, or damaged decking indicate serious structural problems that require immediate attention to prevent collapse.

Storm Damage

Hail dents, wind damage, and debris impact may not be immediately visible but compromise your roof's integrity and warranty coverage.

Leak Evidence

Water stains, mold, or moisture in the attic reveal active or past leaks that need immediate investigation and repair.

Gutter Problems

Clogged, damaged, or improperly sloped gutters cause water to back up under shingles or overflow, damaging fascia and foundations.

Benefits of Regular Roof Inspections

Catching small problems early prevents them from becoming expensive emergencies. A minor repair today avoids a major replacement tomorrow.

When to Schedule a Roof Inspection

🏠 Buying or Selling a Home

Always inspect before purchasing. Sellers benefit from pre-listing inspections to address issues proactively and provide documentation to buyers.

⛈️ After Severe Weather

Inspect after major storms, high winds, or hail. Damage may not be immediately visible but could affect your roof's integrity and insurance coverage.

📅 Annual Maintenance

Schedule routine inspections at least once a year, preferably in spring or fall, to catch developing issues before they become emergencies.

⚠️ Visible Problems

Don't wait if you notice missing shingles, leaks, sagging, or other visible issues. Immediate inspection prevents further damage.

🎂 Aging Roof

Roofs over 10-15 years old should be inspected more frequently to monitor wear and plan for eventual replacement.

📋 Insurance Requirements

Many insurers require periodic inspections for older roofs or as a condition of policy renewal. Stay compliant with professional documentation.
