Things to Expect During a Professional Roof Inspection

Many homeowners only worry about having their roof inspected if they suspect their roof has already sustained damage. However, roof inspections shouldn’t be reactionary—you should schedule them proactively. It’s imperative to perform inspections twice a year, preferably during spring and fall, to keep underlying issues from turning into major problems. Even if your roof appears to be in good shape, it could be harboring issues that only a professional would be able to detect

As one of the most experienced roofers in the area, Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC has the proper knowledge, skills, and tools to examine your roof’s condition. Read on as we discuss what a professional roof inspection entails:

Checking the Interior
The source of a leak is difficult to determine because it is often located far away from the leak itself. Your contractor will first go up to your attic to look for moisture, mold, and rot issues. They will also examine the ventilation and insulation within the space as these are keys to maintaining your roof’s performance and your home’s energy efficiency.

Evaluating the Exterior
Your roofing contractorwill then climb your roof to check for wear and tear. They will note down damaged or missing shingles, as these issues leave the underlayment exposed to the elements. They will also scrutinize the condition of your flashing, gutters, and roof deck. Once they’re finished, they’ll provide you with a precise assessment of your roof’s health.

Creating a Course of Action
After the inspection, they’ll discuss their findings with you and recommend any necessary repairs. When you turn to us for professional inspections, we’ll be sure to help you understand how your roof works so you can make informed decisions.
