WHY INSPECT?

Understand the condition of your roof

Routine inspections can help property owners spot issues with shingles, flashing, ventilation, drainage, and other roofing components. After severe weather or when a property changes ownership, an inspection can provide useful information for planning maintenance.

INSPECTION CHECKLIST

What a roof inspection may cover

01

Roofing materials

Check for missing, cracked, curled, loose, or deteriorated roofing materials.

02

Flashing & seals

Review flashing and seals around chimneys, vents, skylights, and roof transitions.

03

Drainage

Look for blocked gutters, damaged downspouts, standing water, or poor drainage conditions.

04

Interior signs

Check accessible attic and ceiling areas for stains, moisture, or other signs of water intrusion.

WHEN TO CONSIDER ONE

Good times to schedule an inspection

  • After significant wind, hail, or storm activity
  • When you notice a leak or ceiling stain
  • Before buying or selling a property
  • When the roof is approaching the later part of its expected service life
  • When planning major roofing maintenance or replacement

Inspection vs. repair

An inspection identifies conditions and helps define the scope of work. Repairs should be based on the actual condition of the roof and the recommendations of a qualified roofing professional.
