Why Get a Roof Inspection in Centerville?
The age of an older home in Centerville does not tell you when the current roof was installed or how much wear the current roofing shows. We inspect the current roofing materials and describe their condition and whether replacement appears to be approaching. We tell you whether the roof needs a repair now or whether you should start planning for replacement.

When Should You Get a Centerville Roof Inspected?
You should have an older roof in Centerville inspected before you buy or sell the home and after severe winter weather. You may also want an inspection before spending money on other major home improvements. If we estimate that the roof is approaching replacement, you can account for that expense before you commit your budget to other major projects.
What Does a Roof Inspection in Centerville Include?
When the roof is safe to access, we inspect the roofing materials from outside and check the underside of the roof from inside the attic. We compare the roof surface with the attic for signs of leaks, moisture, ventilation problems and hidden damage. We photograph the areas we inspect and give you a written report of the roof's condition. You can keep the report or share it with a buyer, seller or insurance company.
We adjust the inspection to the roof's design, age and condition. On Centerville homes, we commonly check the following areas:
- Shingle adhesion: We check whether the adhesive strips still hold neighboring shingles together. Loose shingles are more vulnerable to wind and water.
- Eaves and gutters: We inspect the lower roof edge and gutter line for signs that water has moved behind the roofing materials or damaged the wood.
- Roof joints: We check the areas where the roof meets chimneys, walls, valleys, vents and other structures. We inspect the flashing and seals at these joints for openings or damage that could let water into the roof.
- Number of roofing layers: We check how many layers of roofing material are already installed. The number of layers can affect repair options and the cost of a future roof replacement.
- Attic inspection: We inspect the underside of the roof from inside the attic. We look for water stains, damp insulation, rusted nails, daylight through openings and other signs of moisture or roof damage.
- Attic ventilation: We check whether air can enter and leave the attic properly. Poor ventilation can trap heat and moisture and may shorten the life of the roofing materials.
We photograph the shingles, flashing, roof openings and attic, including any wear or damage we identify. In the written report, we include the photographs, describe the roof's condition and whether replacement appears to be approaching and list any repairs we recommend. We list urgent repairs separately from roof conditions you can monitor or plan to address later.

We are impressed with this company. The owner, Cory is professional and communicated every detail as the job progressed. As a retired engineer, my husband used to be in construction, so he knows the business. Unlike most construction we have dealt with in the past, Courtland roofing crews were there every day until the job was done. And a quality job is what we got. My husband was on the roof daily checking it out. They made sure all the rotting wood was replace, which was more than anticipated. It was shocking what was hiding under our shingles! Our new roof looks great, and increases the value of our property. We highly recommend Courtland Roofing if you are looking for repairs or replacing your roof.
