FAQs
Why should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Winchester instead of doing it myself?
A certified inspector has the training, safety equipment, and diagnostic tools to identify hidden issues—such as trapped moisture, small punctures, or flashing failures—that homeowners often overlook. In Winchester’s four-season climate, undetected problems can escalate quickly, so a professional inspection safeguards both your roof’s integrity and your personal safety.
How often should my Winchester home’s roof be inspected?
We recommend a thorough inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring or early fall. Additional checks are wise after severe wind, hail, or snow events, which are common in the Shenandoah Valley. Regular inspections catch damage early, extend roof life, and help maintain any active manufacturer or workmanship warranties.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection include?
Our technicians examine every component: shingles or metal panels, flashing, gutters, downspouts, skylights, chimney caps, attic ventilation, and underlying decking (accessible from the attic). We document conditions with high-resolution photos, infrared scans for hidden moisture, and a written report that prioritizes any repairs or maintenance needed.
How long does a typical roof inspection take, and will it disrupt my day?
Most residential inspections in Winchester take 60–90 minutes. Because we work from the exterior and attic access points, you can continue daily activities with minimal disturbance. We schedule in two-hour arrival windows and deliver the inspection report within 24 hours.
What does a roof inspection cost, and can the fee be applied to repairs?
A standard single-family home inspection starts at $199. Larger or complex roofs (multiple dormers, steep pitch, or multi-story) may cost slightly more. If you choose us to perform recommended repairs within 30 days, we credit 100% of the inspection fee toward the repair invoice.
What happens if the inspection uncovers significant damage?
Your report will include photos, severity rankings, and repair options from least to most comprehensive. For storm-related damage, we can assist with insurance claim documentation. If immediate action is needed—like tarping or temporary flashing—we can perform those services on the spot to prevent further deterioration while you review long-term repair or replacement choices.
