FAQs
Why are regular roof inspections important?
Routine roof inspections allow certified specialists to catch small problems—such as loose shingles, cracked flashing, or early water intrusion—before they escalate into costly repairs or full-scale replacements. An inspection also documents the roof’s current condition for warranty and insurance purposes, maintains manufacturer warranty requirements, and helps extend the overall service life of your roofing system.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection?
Most manufacturers and insurers recommend professional inspections twice a year—once in the spring and once after fall or winter weather. Additional inspections are advised after severe events like hail, high winds, or heavy snowfall. If your roof is older than 15 years, you may benefit from more frequent check-ups to monitor age-related wear.
What does a certified roofing specialist look for during an inspection?
Our certified inspectors perform a comprehensive, multi-point assessment. On the exterior they examine shingles or membrane surfaces for cracks, blisters, granule loss, ponding water, and UV damage. They check flashing, drip edges, vents, chimneys, skylights, and gutters for secure attachment and watertight seals. Inside the attic they assess insulation, ventilation, and look for moisture stains, mold, or compressed insulation. Structural components such as decking and trusses are evaluated for sagging or rot. Photos and a written report document all findings.
Can a roof inspection identify hidden leaks or water damage?
Yes. In addition to visual checks, our specialists use moisture meters and optional infrared (thermal) imaging to detect trapped moisture beneath shingles or membranes that is invisible to the naked eye. Attic examinations reveal discoloration, rusted nails, or musty odors that signal slow leaks. Early detection prevents mold growth and structural decay, saving you significant repair costs down the road.
Will a roof inspection affect my warranty or insurance claim?
A professional inspection strengthens both warranty and insurance positions. Many manufacturer warranties require documented, periodic inspections by certified professionals to remain valid. In the event of storm damage, an inspection report serves as impartial evidence for your insurance carrier, detailing pre-existing conditions versus new damage. This accelerates claim approval and ensures you receive the compensation you’re entitled to.
How long does a professional roof inspection take and how much does it cost?
A standard single-family home inspection typically takes 45–90 minutes, depending on roof size, pitch, and accessibility. Larger or complex roofs may take longer, especially if thermal imaging is requested. Costs range from $150 to $350 for most residential properties; however, many of our maintenance programs include complimentary annual inspections. We provide a firm quote upfront and review any additional services—such as drone imaging or core sampling—before work begins.
