Roof Inspection

When to schedule a professional
roof inspection?

All roofs wear down over time, so regular inspections are essential to keep them in good shape. In Ohio, where the weather can be really unpredictable, it’s vital to stay on top of your roof’s condition. We recommend having your roof inspected at least once a year to ensure your roof stays in great condition. Here are the key times when getting your roof inspection is most important:

Preparing for Home Sale: Most homeowners get their roofs inspected when preparing to sell. A roof inspection and roof certification provides potential buyers with peace of mind beyond a home inspection and can help you address any issues before listing.
Post-Warranty Period: If your roof is past its warranty period, a roofing inspection becomes even more critical to catch and address wear and tear.
After Severe Weather: Recent exposure to severe weather, such as heavy rain, wind, or hail, can cause significant roof damage. Having a roof inspector check your roof after such events ensures any damage is repaired.
Aging Roofs: As your roof ages, it becomes more vulnerable to damage. Regular inspections help monitor its condition and determine if repairs or a replacement are needed from a professional roofing contractor.

What do we check during inspection?

Broken, Torn, Or Missing Shingles

We carefully check for any missing or damaged shingles. Damaged shingles can lead to roof leaks and water damage, so it’s important to address these issues promptly to maintain the integrity of your roof.

Worn Away Granules

Granules on shingles protect your roof from the sun's UV rays and enhance its durability. We look for areas where granules have worn away from the roofing material as this can indicate aging shingles that are more prone to damage.

Cracked or Missing Caulk

Cracked or missing caulk around roof penetrations, such as vents and chimneys, can allow water to seep in. We ensure that all caulking is intact and properly sealed to prevent leaks.

Wood Rot or Sagging Areas

Wood rot or sagging areas in the roof deck can weaken the overall structure of your roof. We thoroughly examine your roof for these issues, ensuring that any compromised areas in your roofing system are identified and addressed.

Cracks In The Chimney Or Missing Chimney Caps

Chimneys can develop cracks or lose their caps over time, which can allow water and debris to enter your home. Our inspectors check for these issues to ensure your chimney remains secure and functional.

Rusted Or Torn Rubber Boots Around Pipes

Rubber boots around pipes help seal the roof against water intrusion and air leaks. We will examine these roofing components for any signs of rust or tearing, which could compromise their effectiveness and lead to leaks.

Gutters That Aren't Securely Attached

Gutters are essential for directing water away from your home. We assess your gutters to ensure they are securely attached, free of clogs, and in good working condition to prevent water damage and ice dams in the winter.

Soffit & Fascia Damage

We look for signs of damage to your soffit and fascia, such as rot, cracks, or warping, which can compromise your roof’s structural integrity. These components help protect your home from water damage and pests while maintaining proper ventilation and roof performance.
