Residential Roofing Inspections
A roof inspection is the first step in any standard roofing project. First, the roof inspector will examine the general condition of the roof, including any damage that may be present. Then, the inspector will look at the type of roofing material used and how long it is expected to last. Once the inspection has been completed, the inspector will provide you with a report that includes an itemized list of repairs, if any, and a recommended course of action. This report can help you determine if you need to repair your roof right away or if you can wait a little while before making any repairs. Roof inspection is an important service to include when considering hiring a roofer to inspect and repair your roof.
What is a Residential Roof Inspection?
A residential roof inspection is a comprehensive assessment of the roofing components of a home. During an inspection, a roofing professional will examine the roof’s structural support, roofing material stability, potential leaks and water damage, unusual wear and tear, and other potential issues such as organic growth, cracks, and aging materials. They will also look for issues such as broken seals on shingles, granule loss, dry rot, broken caulk or rust spots on flashing, and missing or buckling shingles.

Does Every Roof Inspection Result in an Insurance Claim Getting Filed?
Not every roof inspection results in an insurance claim being filed. Roof inspections are important to determine the extent of the damage and to understand whether it is covered by insurance. If the damage is due to the age of the roof, natural wear and tear, or the roof failing because of a faulty installation or low quality materials, filing an insurance claim may not be warranted. Depending on the inspection results, a homeowner may decide to file a claim or pay for the repairs out of pocket.
