Scheduling a roof inspection is one of the smartest things you can do to protect your home. Whether you are preparing for a storm or want to sell your home in the future, a roof inspection can play a crucial role in the process.

As a professional roofing company, we have completed numerous roofing inspections. This article will cover what you can expect during a roof inspection appointment. 

Initial Consultation 

The roof inspection appointment will start with a conversion with the roofing company. This consultation will be a time to discuss any areas of concern and give an overview of the roof inspection process.

A roofing company will often ask about the maintenance history and other details of the roof. Knowing the details of the roof will give the roof inspector a better idea of what to expect. 

Exterior Roofing Evaluation

This step involves the inspector assessing the condition of your property's roofing exterior. A professional inspector will know what to look for, such as damaged flashing, cracked shingles, and worn out seals around the vents.

A roof with damage will also pool water in certain locations that signal an issue. If a roofing professional can't assess a specific area safely, they may opt to use a drone to check the roofing section. 

Attic Inspection

Along with the exterior of the roof, a roofing inspector will step inside the attic to look for signs of interior damage. An attic provides details on how a roof is performing and if there are any leaks or poor ventilation.

A roofer will check the insulation levels and look for any signs of moisture that could lead to bigger problems. An interior and exterior inspection is necessary to identify any damaged areas of the roof. 

Overview of Findings and Recommendations 

Once complete, the inspector will sit down with you and provide an overview of what they saw. The inspector will highlight any damaged areas and provide photographic evidence.

If a roof repair or replacement is needed, the roofer will provide you with recommendations for the service. The recommendations often will come with an estimate and a timeline for the project completion.
