Roof Inspection Questions
How long does a roof inspection take?
A roof inspection takes about 1 hour on-site at your property. In general, we'll arrive at your house and speak with you. Then, we'll get on the roof and go through our checklist. In some cases, we need to get in your attic to look at the condition of your roof deck. This is the underlying wood surface that the shingles are nailed to.
Do you have to get on my roof?
The best way to inspect your roof is to get up close and personal! In most cases, we will get on your roof to look at the details. This ensures we get an accurate view of what is going on. If you are requesting a quote for a full replacement, we might not need to do a physical inspection because we will be replacing the entire roofing system. In these cases, we might use an aerial imaging tool to get the exact dimensions of your roof.
What are you checking for?
There are two primary things our roofing specialists are looking for during your roof inspection:
1. Current leaks or damage
The most important thing for our team to identify are any active leaks you are experiencing. If you notice water intrusion, we'll identify the source and how it can be fixed. This includes checking all areas where water collects, like your roof valleys or near the gutters.
2. Overall condition of your roof
The second item our roofing specialists will evaluate is the overall condition of your roofing system. While a repair might fix your issue, sometimes the condition of your overall roof might make a replacement more cost effective.
