We examine every shingle or tile for curling, cracking, granule loss, and overall deterioration that compromises your roof's protective capabilities and weather resistance.

Our experts identify any missing, broken, or displaced shingles and tiles that create vulnerable spots where water can penetrate and cause interior damage.

We thoroughly check all metal flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and valleys for rust, separation, or improper installation that allows water infiltration points.

Complete evaluation of gutters for clogs, damage, proper pitch, secure attachment, and adequate drainage to prevent water backup and foundation problems around property.

We inspect fascia boards behind gutters for rot, water damage, proper attachment, and structural integrity critical for supporting your entire gutter drainage system.

Examination of soffit vents for blockages, damage, and proper airflow necessary for attic ventilation, moisture control, and extending your roof's overall service life.

Critical inspection of roof valleys where water naturally flows, checking for debris accumulation, shingle deterioration, and proper waterproofing to prevent common leak locations.

8. Ridge Cap Evaluation

We assess ridge cap shingles along your roof's peak for damage, displacement, or wear that exposes the vulnerable ridge line to weather penetration.

Detailed examination of chimney structure, mortar joints, chimney cap, flashing seal, and crown for cracks or damage allowing water entry into your home's interior.

Assessment of all exhaust vents, ridge vents, turbine vents, and powered ventilators ensuring proper attic air circulation preventing heat buildup and moisture condensation problems.

Inspection of rubber or lead boots around plumbing vents for cracking, deterioration, or separation that creates common leak sources requiring immediate repair attention.

Comprehensive evaluation for hail impact damage, wind-lifted shingles, fallen debris damage, and weather-related deterioration requiring documentation for potential insurance claim submission.

13. Moss, Algae, and Debris

Identification of organic growth, debris accumulation, and standing water areas that accelerate roof deterioration, trap moisture, and indicate drainage or ventilation problems.

Visual assessment for sagging, uneven roof planes, or structural deformation indicating underlying framing issues, water damage, or inadequate support requiring immediate professional evaluation.

Careful inspection for active leaks, water stains, moisture trails, and penetration points indicating current or previous water entry requiring immediate identification and repair.

Documentation of interior water staining patterns on ceilings and walls helping identify leak sources, track water travel paths, and assess damage extent accurately.

Assessment of plywood or OSB roof decking for water damage, rot, delamination, or structural weakness from moisture exposure requiring replacement before new roofing.

Structural examination of rafters, trusses, and support beams for cracks, sagging, water damage, or inadequate framing compromising your roof's load-bearing capacity.

23. Pest Intrusion Signs

Detection of rodent activity, insect damage, bird nesting, or pest entry points that compromise insulation effectiveness, create health hazards, and damage roofing materials.

Professional moisture detection using specialized equipment identifying hidden water damage, wet insulation, and elevated humidity levels invisible during standard visual inspections alone.
