Signs of Trouble

Roof Inspections:

Regular inspections of your roof are a must as they can identify problems early, giving you time to act before a crisis occurs.  It’s also a good idea to inspect the roof after any severe weather such as hail storms.  Hail damage is difficult to see from the ground and usually requires an up-close inspection by a professional.  A failing roof can allow moisture to penetrate the surface, which, over time, will cause permanent – and costly – damage to the structure of your home.

Our experienced roofing specialists can recognize condition issues, properly diagnose the cause(s) and advise you on any repairs needed to extend the life of your roof or the best options available if a full replacement is necessary.

We Know the Signs of Trouble:

  • Stained Rafters in the Attic
  • Soggy Insulation in the Attic
  • Sagging Rafters and Roof Decking
  • A History of Ice Dams in the Winter
  • Cracked, Curled or Missing Shingles
  • Excessive Algae or Moss Growth
  • Loose or Missing Flashing Around Vents and Chimneys
  • Cracked Caulk on Flashing
  • Cracked Rubber Boots Around Vent Pipes
  • Missing or Failed Gutter Systems
  • Excessive Amounts of Shingle Granules in the Gutters
