  • When Should You Schedule a Residential Roof Inspection?

    Are you starting to notice signs that your roof may not be in perfect condition? Does something look off? Was there a large storm that recently passed through? When it comes to protecting your roof, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. That’s why you should consider scheduling a roof inspection:

    • After a severe weather event
    • If your energy bills are rising unexpectedly
    • Before buying or selling a house
    • When something looks out of the ordinary
    • As part of an annual check-up
    • If you’ve never gotten one before

  • Our Thorough Roof Inspection Process

    red 1 with transparent background Initial Assessment

    Every roof inspection starts with a close examination of your entire roof, from vents and shingles to more structural elements. We want to determine the overall health of your roof and figure out if it’s been compromised in some way.

    Next, our experts use specialized equipment and industry-leading techniques to identify everything from small issues to extended damage. Our inspections include not only a visual inspection of your roof, but also of your attic or crawl space.

    No detail is too small, which is why we then take a look at the quality of the roofing materials, the condition of the seals, the presence of any moisture damage, and the overall alignment and integrity of the roofing components.

    If issues are identified with your roof during an inspection, we can work to fix the problem immediately. However, while things like broken shingles or flashing can be repaired quickly, more widespread damage may require a full or partial roof replacement.

    After the repairs or replacement are completed in a way that seamlessly blends with your home’s style, our team will clean up any debris before leaving. You’re then free to sit back, relax, and enjoy all the benefits of your newly updated roof.

Our Roof Inspection Checklist

When our professional roof inspectors come to your property, they’ll follow a detailed checklist to make sure they thoroughly examine all interior and exterior areas of your roof. We look for things such as:

Compromised Roof Condition

We inspect your roof for trapped debris, dents, holes, drainage problems, or other physical issues. Any of these things can be a sign that your roof condition has been compromised.

Ruined Shingles

We search for shingles that are cracked, blistering, broken off, or curling. We also check for granule loss, which is the protective coating on shingles that safeguards your roof from UV and weather damage.

Broken Fixtures

Roof fixtures such as soffits, gutters, chimneys, vents, skylights, and flashing get assessed. Sometimes, their issues are only cosmetic; other times, their ability to protect your home has been compromised.

Dark Streaks

Although dark streaks on your shingles aren’t always a sign of damage, they’re still worth our inspectors checking out. They’re caused by algae growth, which can trap moisture in your roof over time.

Attic Damage

Your attic is the first line of defense after your roof has been compromised, which is why we’ll check it for visible signs of mold, poor ventilation, soggy insulation, and excess heat or cold.

Interior Issues

We look for water stains, leaks, cracks, or other signs of deformation on your interior ceilings and walls. It may be an indication that your roof has been damaged and is allowing moisture to leak inside.

Why Are Roof Inspections Important in Wisconsin?

Living in Wisconsin, our roofs are constantly exposed to wear and tear caused by harsh weather conditions. Things like snow, ice, sleet, hail, wind, and other destructive forces can create small issues that quickly turn into costly repairs or even full roof replacements if left untreated.

That’s why inspections are important to catch problems before they worsen. An inspection doesn’t just help safeguard your roof—it protects your whole home from mold, water leaks, and other structural damage. You’ll save yourself time and money, as well as ensure that the interior of your home stays dry, comfortable, and safe.
