Roof Inspections
Our experts recommend hiring a professional roofing contractor to inspect your roof. It’s safer, especially if you’re uncomfortable getting on a roof or if you’re not sure what to look for.
Still, beware of contractors who go door-to-door soliciting inspections, especially after a storm. That’s how many homeowners get scammed. Check reviews on Home Stars Roofing Companies List to find a reputable company that is locally owned and operated. These companies have more ties to the community and are likely to stand behind their work.
What’s included in a roof inspection?
If you’re paying a professional to inspect your roof, it should include the following.
• An examination of the overall appearance of the roof, including the interior to determine if there’s a surface deterioration or physical damage.
• Evidence of ceiling cracks and leaks inside your home.
• Condition of fascia, gutters and drains, skylights, chimneys, and roof vents.
• Curled, broken, or missing shingles.
• Areas where water may collect, like roof valleys.
• Damaged or missing flashing points.
Roof inspection tips
• Look for shingles that are buckling, curling, or blistering; this indicates the end of the shingles’ life expectancy.
• Spot any loose material or wear around chimneys, pipes and other penetrations.
• Identify excessive amounts of shingle granules in your gutters; granules give shingles added weight and protect them from ultraviolet rays.
• Check for soft spots on the roof. This may indicate damaged plywood that needs replacing.
