Roof
Inspections
Roofing inspections are essential for the longevity and integrity of your home. Over time, wear from weather, seasonal changes, and aging materials can weaken your roof, leading to potential damage or costly repairs if unaddressed. Regular inspections allow us to catch minor issues early and provide peace of mind. Key times for inspection include after major storms, before winter, or when your roof nears a decade in age.
When
To Inspect
Routine roof inspections can save you from unexpected repairs and maintain the value of your home. We recommend inspections at specific milestones:
Schedule Free InspectionAfter a Storm
High winds, hail, and heavy rain can cause unseen damage.
Before Winter
Preparing your roof before cold weather ensures it’s ready to handle snow and ice.
After 10 Years
Roofs naturally age; an inspection at the 10-year mark can reveal necessary maintenance.
Visible Damage
Missing shingles, sagging, or water stains are signs it’s time for a checkup.
What We Inspect
Our inspection process is thorough and precise, utilizing the Roofing Army Recon Report to assess every crucial aspect of your roof’s health. This detailed report includes an examination of shingles, flashing, gutters, and ventilation, checking for signs of water damage, structural wear, and any vulnerabilities that could impact your roof's longevity. We’ll provide you with a comprehensive breakdown of our findings so you know the exact condition of your roof.
Schedule Free InspectionSigns of Damage
Catching signs of damage early can help prevent costly repairs down the road for your asphalt roof. Here are some key indicators to watch for to keep your roof in top condition:
Schedule Free InspectionMold or Mildew
Dark spots, mold, or mildew on the roof or ceiling can indicate moisture is seeping in, potentially leading to structural damage.
Damaged Shingles
Shingles that are cracked, curled, or completely missing expose your roof to leaks and reduce its overall effectiveness.
Granule Loss
Excessive granules in gutters or downspouts signal that shingles are deteriorating and may need replacement.
Water Stains
Yellowish stains indoors can suggest water is leaking through the roof, often from damaged flashing or worn-out shingles.
Sagging Roofline
A roof that appears to dip or sag may have structural damage, indicating a possible issue with the decking or underlying support.
Shingle Discoloration
Uneven or patchy color on shingles could be a sign of algae, moisture issues, or aging materials.
Increased Energy Bills
Energy bills high? It may be due to inadequate insulation or roof ventilation, causing heat to escape or enter your home.
Damaged Flashing
Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can crack or lift over time, creating gaps where water can enter.
Replacement vs Repair
Knowing when to repair or replace your roof depends on the extent and type of damage. Minor issues, like a few missing shingles or small leaks, can often be addressed with targeted repairs. However, if your roof has widespread damage, significant age, or recurring issues, a full replacement may be the more cost-effective choice in the long run. To help you make an informed decision, Roofing Army offers a free, comprehensive Recon Report—an in-depth assessment of your roof’s current condition. This report can be invaluable as a reference for home buyers or any other contractors you wish to consult, providing detailed insights to ensure you understand all your options.
