The Basics of Roofing Inspection
While you can look at your roof from ground level, there’s a lot more that’s part of an up-close professional inspection. We inspect your roof to ensure all the shingles are in place, ensuring there isn’t any shingle damage or signs of deterioration. Even metal roofs and other roofing materials can wear down over time, requiring professional attention.
Flashing is an essential part of your roof’s structure that protects your home from water, pests, and wind. We look for visible rust or corrosion, dents, gaps, and signs of leaks. Most flashing materials will last around 20 to 30 years with regular inspection and upkeep. It’s common to replace flashing when you’re replacing your roof, unless damage is present.
