Our roof inspections for residential customers include:
- Evaluation of the shingles to determine their overall condition and any areas that may be weakened or damaged from storms
- Checking the attic space for proper ventilation and any signs or water intrusion
- Checking the gutters and downspouts for condition and proper capacity
- Removing all leaves and debris from the surface and the gutters
- Checking all flashing, and repair any loose areas
- Giving an on the spot estimate for any major repairs that may be recommended
Our roof inspections for commercial properties include:
- Walking the entire roof to locate any points of water entry or potential water intrusion
- Locating and removing any debris collected on the surface, in gutters, scuppers and drains
- Locating areas of ponding and recommending a solution to ensure better drainage
- Locating any separations, cracks, buckling and loose fasteners, and driving down any protruding nail heads
- Performing thermographic imaging if necessary to detect hidden areas of moisture
Most problems with both commercial and residential surfaces can be repaired quickly and easily. If it is determined that a surface has exceeded its life expectancy, we will provide an estimate to replace it only after showing you all the possible options. Very often a commercial surface can have its life extended for years by the application of an elastomeric coating. This will seal the whole surface and eliminate the need for a replacement.
We believe roof inspections offer the kid of preventive maintenance that helps you attain maximum performance and durability. Inspections should be done annually, and after severe storms, on a new installation. They should be performed even more frequently on an older roof.
Have you experienced storm damage? Insurance companies allow up to one year, as a rule, to file a storm damage claim. Even on a residential roof, storm damage, especially from hail, is not always visible. It takes a trained expert to spot it. We will work with your insurance company on any claim to ensure that you receive the proper compensation to which you are entitled.
