FAQs
Why is a professional roof inspection important in Cowan’s climate?
Cowan experiences a mix of hot sunny days, heavy rainfall, and the occasional storm front. These conditions cause roofing materials to expand, contract, and weather faster than in milder regions. A professional inspection detects early signs of UV degradation, thermal cracking, and moisture intrusion so repairs can be made before small issues turn into leaks, structural damage, or mold growth. Regular inspections ultimately extend the life of your roof and protect your home’s value.
What qualifications do your certified technicians hold?
Every technician is certified through nationally recognized programs such as the NRCA ProCertification™ or CertainTeed Master Shingle Applicator™. They complete mandatory OSHA safety training, are fully insured, and must pass annual continuing-education courses covering the latest roofing materials, installation methods, and inspection technologies. This ensures that you receive service that meets or exceeds local Cowan building codes and manufacturer warranty requirements.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection?
For most Cowan homeowners, we recommend an inspection at least once every 12 months. Additional inspections are advised after severe weather events—high-wind storms, hail, or heavy snowfall—because damage may not be visible from the ground. Newly installed roofs should be inspected at the end of the first and third years to confirm they’re aging correctly, while older roofs (15+ years) benefit from semiannual checks.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection include?
Our certified technicians follow a 30-point checklist. They examine shingles or other roofing materials for cracks, granule loss, or blistering; inspect flashing at chimneys, vents, and valleys; evaluate gutters, downspouts, and drip edges; test attic ventilation and insulation levels; check roof decking for soft spots using infrared moisture scans; and photograph all findings. You receive a detailed digital report, prioritized repair recommendations, and itemized cost estimates within 24 hours.
Will a roof inspection disrupt my daily activities?
Disruption is minimal. Most inspections take 60–90 minutes for an average-sized Cowan home, and you don’t need to be present, though we encourage it for real-time Q&A. Our technicians wear soft-soled shoes, use ladder stabilizers to prevent gutter damage, and keep the work area tidy. If drone technology is needed for hard-to-reach sections, it’s quiet and completed in minutes. We conclude with a brief walkthrough so you fully understand the roof’s condition.
What happens if the inspection uncovers damage or potential issues?
You’ll receive a clear, prioritized action plan. Minor maintenance such as replacing a few shingles or resealing flashing can often be scheduled immediately. For larger repairs, we provide multiple options—from targeted fixes to full re-roofing—along with transparent pricing, material choices, and projected timelines. All work is performed by the same certified team, and we’ll help you file insurance claims or manufacturer warranty requests if applicable. Our goal is to restore your roof’s integrity quickly and cost-effectively.
