What do we check when inspecting your roof?
If you’re worried that your roof will need repairs, here is how we thoroughly inspect it to see what services it may need.
- Missing or damaged shingles. This is a tell-tale sign that shingles need to be replaced to prevent any damage, such as leaking.
- Signs of water damage in the attic. Water damage is a sure sign that your roof is leaking and a roof repair or replacement is needed.
- Sagging or unevenness in the structure of the roof. This could be due to water accumulating on your roof, which means repairs should be made to avoid leaking and damage to your home.
- Clogged gutters. This can cause water build-up, which can cause damage to your home if not cleaned, such as water seepage under the shingles or damage to the edge of the roof.
- Buckling or curling shingles. Long-term water damage can lead to buckling or curling shingles over time, which is crucial to fix ASAP.
- Rot or deterioration in shingles. Leaks, storms, and condensation from water can seem into the cracks of shingles and cause them to break apart and rot over time.
- Loose shingles or exposed nails. Repairs are necessary if shingles are falling off of your roof after a heavy storm, or even due to the wind or hail.
