Roof Inspections

What is a Roof Inspection?

A roof inspection should include examination, evaluation, and recommendations. Your roofing contractor should examine your home from the ground up. They will need to check for missing or discolored shingles, broken or clogged gutters, bent flashing, leaks, and weakened surface areas. Your roofer should then evaluate the extent of the damages and problems in order to make the necessary recommendations to remedy the issues with quality roof repairs or roof replacement.

How Often Should Have Your Roof Inspected?

If you see signs of roof damage, you should immediately schedule a roof inspection by a qualified roofing contractor. Metro Atlanta is notorious for severe storms that can easily damage your roof. Hail and strong winds are the two most common causes of roofing damage. If you see missing or damaged shingles, water spots, fallen tree limbs or divots in the roof, they need to be addressed right away.

Even if you do not see signs of roof damage, you still should have regular roof inspections; bi-annual inspections may be sufficient. If you have a new roof, you may not need an inspection for three to five years.

Who Should Conduct Your Roof Inspection?

You should always choose a licensed roofing contractor to conduct your roof inspection. Your roof is too important to trust your inspection to a handyman or local "repairman". Make sure your roofer can offer you the following:
  • Fully Licensed & Insured
  • Has a positive online reputation
  • Has years of experience
  • Offers competitive pricing
