What Is a Roof Inspection?

A roof inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of your roof’s condition, typically carried out by a professional roofing contractor or certified home inspector. During this process, the inspector will assess the structural integrity of your roof, the condition of the roofing materials, and look for any signs of damage or wear. This thorough examination helps identify potential issues before they escalate into major problems, ensuring your roof remains safe and functional for years to come.

Roof Repair and Replacement

Signs You Need a New Roof

Recognizing the signs that your roof may need to be replaced can save you from unexpected headaches and expenses. Here are some key indicators that it might be time for a new roof:

• Age: If your roof is 20-25 years old or more, it’s likely nearing the end of its lifespan.

• Damage: Look for missing, broken, or curled shingles that can compromise your roof’s integrity.

• Leaks: Water stains or signs of water damage on your ceiling or walls are red flags.

• Curling or Buckling: Shingles that are curling or buckling indicate wear and tear.

• Missing Granules: Asphalt shingles losing granules can lead to reduced protection.

• Sagging or Uneven Rooflines: A sagging roof deck or uneven rooflines are serious concerns.

• Unusual Noises or Odors: Strange sounds or smells can signal underlying issues.

A thorough roof inspection by a professional roofing contractor or certified home inspector can help determine if a roof replacement is necessary. By addressing these signs promptly, you can ensure your home remains safe and secure with a reliable roofing system.
