FAQs
What are the most common signs that my asphalt shingles are damaged and need an inspection?
Look for curling or cupped shingle edges, cracked or split tabs, missing shingles, dark or bare spots where granules have worn away, excessive granules accumulating in gutters, moss or algae streaks, and water stains on interior ceilings or walls. Any of these warning flags suggest your roof may be compromised and should be inspected promptly to prevent leaks and structural deterioration.
How often should a roof in Clinton be inspected for shingle damage?
Because Clinton sees hot, humid summers, strong thunderstorms, and occasional hail, a roof should be professionally inspected at least once a year—ideally in the spring after winter temperature swings and again in late fall before colder weather sets in. In addition, schedule an inspection after any major wind, hail, or tornado-related storm event, even if there is no visible damage from the ground.
What does your professional shingle damage roof inspection include?
Our technician starts with a perimeter walk-around to spot obvious issues, then safely climbs the roof (or uses a drone if access is limited) to examine shingles, flashings, pipe boots, ridge vents, valleys, and gutters. We check for soft spots in the decking, lift shingles to look for trapped moisture, and measure granule loss. Inside, we inspect the attic for daylight penetration, water stains, mold, and proper ventilation. You receive a photo-documented report, a clear explanation of findings, and repair or replacement options tailored to your budget.
If only a few shingles are damaged, can you just repair them or will the entire roof need replacing?
Isolated damage—such as a handful of blown-off or cracked shingles—can often be spot-repaired or patched, extending the life of the roof at minimal cost. However, if more than about 25–30 % of the roof surface is compromised, if leaks have penetrated the decking, or if the shingles are already near the end of their 20–30-year life span, a full replacement may be the more cost-effective, long-term solution. Our inspector will explain the pros and cons so you can make an informed decision.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover shingle damage repairs in Clinton?
Most policies cover sudden, accidental damage from perils such as wind, hail, or falling debris—but not problems caused by age or neglect. After we inspect, we can document storm-related damage with photos and help guide you through filing a claim. Keep in mind that coverage depends on your deductible, the extent of damage, and how promptly you report the loss to your insurer.
How much does a shingle damage roof inspection cost and am I obligated to purchase repairs?
Our standard shingle damage inspection is completely free and comes with no obligation to hire us for repairs. If you require a more exhaustive diagnostic—such as infrared moisture scanning—there may be a small fee (typically $75–$150), which we credit back if you proceed with our repair or replacement estimate. Either way, you’ll receive a detailed written report you can use to compare bids or submit to insurance.
