Roof Inspections in Genola, Utah

Some roofing problems start long before you see a ceiling stain or an active leak. We check for loose shingles, damaged or corroded flashing, poor attic ventilation and other problems that are difficult to see from the ground. If we find loose shingles, damaged flashing or another early roof problem, you can address the damaged area before water reaches the wooden roof deck or other materials underneath the shingles.

You should have your roof inspected in Genola when you are buying or selling a home, after severe weather, or anytime you want a clear picture of the roof's condition. We provide photographs and a written report that describes the roof's condition and any problems we identify. You can use the report to plan repairs, monitor developing problems or keep a record of the roof's condition.

We inspect the roofing materials, the components that commonly fail first and the attic underneath the roof. We take photographs during the roof and attic inspection and provide a written report of the roof's condition. You can keep the report for your records or share it with a buyer, seller, insurer or another contractor.

We adjust the inspection to the roof's design, age and condition. On Genola homes, we commonly check the following areas:

• Shingle adhesion: We gently check whether the shingles are still sealed to the shingles below them. A shingle can look normal from the ground even after its adhesive bond has failed.
• Roof drainage: We check the roof edges, gutters and drainage paths to see whether water can move off the roof properly. Poor drainage can allow water to damage roofing materials and wood.
• Underside of the roof: From inside the attic, we check the wooden roof deck for water stains and other signs of past or current moisture. From the attic, we can see moisture or roof damage that may not be visible from outside.
• Attic ventilation: We check whether the attic has enough airflow. Poor ventilation can trap heat and moisture and can contribute to winter ice problems.
• Wooden roof deck: We check the wood underneath the shingles for soft or damaged areas. If we find damaged roof decking, we consider how much wood is affected when we determine whether the roof needs a limited repair or more extensive work.
• Vent-pipe seals: We inspect the rubber seals around vent pipes for cracks and deterioration. Rubber vent-pipe seals can crack or deteriorate before the surrounding shingles wear out.

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.

Whether you are buying, selling or simply checking the roof, we follow the same basic process. We inspect the roof surface, flashing joints and vents, then check the underside of the roof from inside the attic. From the attic, we can see moisture, ventilation problems and damage that may not be visible from the roof surface. We include photographs and a written summary with the inspection.
