FAQs
Why should I schedule a roof inspection with Small Issues Roofing if I don’t see any leaks?
Most roof problems start small and stay hidden until they become costly emergencies. Our certified inspectors look for early signs—loose shingles, degraded flashing, tiny punctures, and moisture under the decking—that homeowners usually miss. Catching these issues early extends the life of your roof, protects interior finishes, and can save up to 75 % in repair costs compared with waiting for a major leak.
How often should a roof in McDonald be inspected?
In McDonald’s mix of hot summers, heavy spring rains, and occasional hail, we recommend two inspections a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. Add an extra inspection after any severe weather event (wind over 45 mph, hail, or heavy snow) to document damage quickly for insurance and prevent small issues from worsening over the next season.
What is included in a Small Issues Roofing inspection?
Our 21-point inspection covers: • Exterior roof surface—shingles, tiles, metal panels, and fasteners • Flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents, and walls • Gutters, downspouts, and drip edges • Roof penetrations such as plumbing stacks and satellite mounts • Attic interior—insulation, ventilation, and signs of moisture or mold • Infrared scan (when requested) to detect hidden water intrusion • Detailed photo report with recommendations, priority levels, and budget estimates so you can plan repairs confidently.
Can you inspect my roof right after a storm even if damage seems minor?
Absolutely. Hail impacts and wind lift may leave roofs looking ‘fine’ from the ground but still compromise shingle seals or bruise the mat beneath. A prompt inspection documents the exact condition before further deterioration and before insurance deadlines expire (typically 6–12 months). We offer 24-hour emergency appointments in McDonald for post-storm checks.
Will a professional inspection help with my insurance claim?
Yes. Our inspectors are trained in Haag engineering standards and provide a photo-rich report that clearly distinguishes pre-existing wear from fresh storm damage. This documentation speeds adjuster approval, reduces the chance of claim denial, and often increases the settlement amount by ensuring no hidden issues are overlooked.
How long does the inspection take, and do I have to be home?
Most single-family homes take 45–60 minutes; larger or complex roofs may take up to two hours, especially if attic access is involved. You don’t need to be home for the exterior portion, but we recommend being present if you’d like us to review findings on-site. If you’re unavailable, we’ll email the full report, then schedule a call to discuss results and next steps.
