FAQs
Why are regular roof inspections especially important for Winfield homes and businesses?
Winfield experiences a full range of Midwest weather—heavy spring rains, summer heat, autumn windstorms, and winter snow and ice. These seasonal extremes can accelerate shingle wear, loosen flashing, and compromise seals around vents and chimneys. A professional inspection catches small issues early, preventing costly leaks, interior water damage, and premature roof replacement.
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Winfield?
For most asphalt-shingle, metal, or low-slope roofs in Winfield, we recommend a full professional inspection at least once every 12–18 months. You should also book an inspection after any severe hail, wind, or ice event, when buying or selling property, or if you notice signs such as missing shingles, ceiling stains, or unusually high energy bills.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection include?
Our certified inspectors follow a 50-point checklist that covers the roof surface, flashing, gutters, downspouts, soffits, fascia, attic ventilation, and insulation. We look for loose or missing shingles, granular loss, lifted seams, rust, ponding water, and structural sagging. Inside the attic we check for moisture, mold, and adequate airflow. Every inspection concludes with high-resolution photos, moisture-meter readings, and a detailed written report outlining current condition, life-expectancy estimates, and prioritized repair recommendations.
How long will the inspection take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical single-family roof in Winfield takes 60–90 minutes to inspect; larger or more complex roofs may require up to two hours. We do not need access to your electrical panel or plumbing, but we will request entry to the attic. All work is performed from the roof exterior and attic space, so there is minimal disruption to occupants and no need for you to take time off work—just ensure we have safe ladder access around the property.
Do you provide documentation that I can use for insurance claims or real-estate transactions?
Yes. After every inspection you receive a digital report with timestamped photos, annotated diagrams, and a clear summary of any storm-related or wear-and-tear damage. Our reports meet the documentation standards of major insurance carriers as well as real-estate disclosure requirements in Illinois. If needed, we can communicate directly with your adjuster or real-estate agent to explain findings and estimates.
If problems are found, are you able to perform repairs, and will the inspection cost be applied to the work?
As a fully licensed, bonded, and insured roofing contractor, we can handle repairs ranging from minor shingle replacement to full roof restorations. Should you choose us to carry out the recommended work within 60 days of the report, we credit 100% of the inspection fee toward the repair invoice. This ensures you get timely, cost-effective solutions without paying twice for the same expertise.
