FAQs
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Winchester?
For most Winchester homes and commercial buildings, we recommend a comprehensive roof inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring or early fall. If your roof is older than 15 years, has experienced severe weather, or you notice signs of damage (missing shingles, leaks, sagging), schedule an inspection immediately regardless of the last service date.
What does an annual maintenance roof inspection include?
Our inspection covers all visible roof components: shingles or other roofing materials, flashing, gutters, downspouts, soffits, fascia, vents, chimney caps, skylights, and roof penetrations (pipes, cables, HVAC). We also assess attic ventilation and insulation from inside where accessible. You receive a detailed report with photographs, condition ratings, and prioritized repair or maintenance recommendations.
Why are annual roof inspections important in the Winchester climate?
Winchester experiences hot, humid summers, cold winters, and occasional severe storms—all of which stress roofing systems. Annual inspections catch small issues like loose shingles, popped nails, and deteriorating flashing before they become costly leaks or structural damage. Timely maintenance extends roof life, maintains energy efficiency, and protects interior finishes and valuables.
Will an inspection identify hidden moisture or leaks that aren’t visible indoors?
Yes. Using moisture meters and infrared imaging (when needed), our technicians detect trapped moisture under shingles or within the decking. Early detection allows for targeted repairs and prevents mold growth, wood rot, and insulation damage long before water stains appear on ceilings or walls.
How long does a typical roof inspection take, and do I need to be home?
Most residential inspections take 60–90 minutes. Larger or more complex roofs (multiple levels, flat sections, solar panels) may take up to two hours. You don’t have to be home, but we need safe, unobstructed access to the roof and attic. We email or text the full inspection report within 24 hours, and our team is available to review findings with you by phone or in person.
What happens if the inspection reveals problems—do you handle repairs, and how soon?
Absolutely. We provide a no-obligation estimate for any recommended repairs, from minor shingle replacements to flashing upgrades or gutter realignment. Many small fixes can be completed the same day as the inspection with your approval. Larger repairs are scheduled at your convenience, and we prioritize leak-related issues within 48 hours to minimize further damage.
