Best times to schedule an inspection
Schedule an inspection after major wind or hail, after winter, before selling, before buying, when stains appear inside, or when a roof is more than 12 to 15 years old. Early inspections usually create cheaper options.
What a good inspection includes
A useful inspection checks roof surfaces, ridge and intake ventilation, flashing, pipe boots, chimney areas, gutter drainage, soft decking, nail pops, granule loss, and signs of attic moisture.
How inspections prevent bigger repairs
Small flashing gaps, cracked pipe boots, and gutter overflow can turn into rotten decking and interior drywall damage. Finding those problems early keeps the repair smaller.
