Structural Inspection: In addition to assessing the integrity of the soffit, fascia, and gutter system, the inspector will look for drooping and uneven roof planes. Currently, masonry chimneys should be checked for cracks, eroding grout, and damage to the chimney crowns. The inspector may also check the attic venting, as inadequate venting can result in heat and moisture buildup, which shortens the roof's lifespan and increases the possibility of ice dams forming at the roof's edge.

Material Assessment: The inspector will search for discolorations, moss, rust, loose, missing, or curled shingles, and any missing flashing or fasteners in this inspection area. An indication that the roof may be nearing the end of its usable life is shingle aggregate that has accumulated in roof valleys or on the ground at the base of gutter downspouts. The inspector will also search for cracks or deterioration in the rubber boots and seals surrounding the vent pipes.

Internal Examination: The inspector will look for water stains, mold, rot, and other indications that water is entering your home because roof leaks ultimately cause damage to your house in the attic, inside walls, and interior ceilings.

Craftsmanship Evaluation: Our roofers will thoroughly inspect your roof for craft flaws that could increase the likelihood of leaks or other roof damage. Correct flashing around roof penetrations, such as chimneys, skylights, and vent pipes, would raise warning signs.
