What to Expect During a Residential Roof Inspection
Why Roof Inspections Matter
Your roof serves as your home’s primary barrier against the elements, yet it is often one of the most neglected areas of your property. A professional roof inspection can identify minor issues before they escalate into costly repairs, particularly after storms or as your roof ages.
At Brazen Roofing, we believe in providing homeowners with transparency and peace of mind. Here’s what you can expect during our roof inspection.
Step-by-Step: What to Expect During a Roof Inspection
1. Exterior Assessment: We begin by assessing the roof’s surface from both the ground and up close, focusing on:
- Condition of shingles or roofing materials
- Signs of wear, damage, or missing components
- Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights
- Functionality of gutters and downspouts
- Indicators of sagging or structural concerns
2. Interior Check (if accessible): If needed, we’ll inspect your attic or crawl space for:
- Water stains or leaks
- Presence of mold or mildew
- Proper insulation and ventilation
- Signs of pests or decay
3. Storm Damage Evaluation: After severe weather, we look for hail dents, wind uplift, and debris impact. Even minor damage can result in leaks if not addressed.
4. Documentation & Photos: We take detailed notes and photos to provide you with clear evidence of our findings.
5. Honest Recommendations: Regardless of whether your roof is in excellent condition or needs repairs, we will offer straightforward advice. This may include scheduling repairs, planning for a replacement, or simply maintaining your current roof.
How Long Will the Inspection Take?
Most inspections typically last between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and complexity of your roof. We prioritize thoroughness—your home deserves a detailed evaluation.
When Should You Schedule an Inspection?
- After a significant storm or hurricane
- Prior to buying or selling a home
- If your roof is over 10 years old
- When you observe leaks, stains, or missing shingles
- As part of a regular maintenance plan
