Reliable Roofing Inspection Services
For homes, we recommend a roof inspection at least once a year. Fall is an excellent time to schedule because you can take care of your roof before the harsh weather arrives. An inspection is an opportunity to identify any repair or maintenance issues. We encourage homeowners to take care of those right away. Another advantage of an annual inspection is that you’ll understand how your roof is aging. That can make it easier to plan for its eventual replacement.
We also encourage homeowners to perform their own inspections from the ground. Do that at least once a month, and be sure to look at the roof from across the street. This makes it easier to spot a sagging roofline. If you notice sagging, bald spots, or other issues, call us for a full inspection. If you suspect storm damage, contact us for an inspection. Our company has a storm damage team on call at all hours to help.
For our commercial clients, we recommend at least two inspections a year. Schedule in the spring and fall to prepare for the more intense weather of summer and winter. Commercial customers should also call us after any severe storm that may have damaged the roof. Another consideration is foot traffic. We recommend scheduling an inspection after you have performed any rooftop work, such as HVAC maintenance and installations.
Another advantage of regular roof inspections for residential and commercial clients is that we can clear any debris. Leaves are a concern because they attract pests and absorb moisture, which can undermine the roofing material over time. This is a big concern for the asphalt shingles many homes have, and it’s also problematic for the membranes on many commercial buildings.
Keep an eye on your gutters as well. Well-functioning gutters help a roof shed rainwater as quickly and efficiently as possible. Clogs and other issues can lead to damage and a shortened roof lifespan. Watch for overflowing gutters and signs of water ponding near the foundation.
Monitor for the signs you should schedule a roofing inspection right away:
Loose or missing shingles
Missing, loose, or rusted flashing
Torn or curled shingles
Poor drainage and other gutter issues
Damaged roof ventilation components
