Roof Inspections in Payson, 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 consider having the roof inspected when you are buying or selling a home in Payson, after a severe storm, or when you want to plan future maintenance or replacement. During a sale, we photograph the roof and describe its condition in writing for the buyer and seller. After a storm, we can photograph fresh damage while the event is still recent.

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 Payson 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.
• Lower roof edges: We inspect the lower roof edge for loose shingles, damaged materials and signs that snow, ice or backed-up water has moved underneath the roofing.
• 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.
• Flashing: We inspect the metal flashing around chimneys, walls, roof edges, valleys and other joints. Loose or damaged flashing can let water into the roof even when the shingles are still in good condition.
• 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.

Our roof inspections in Payson are free and usually take about an hour. We inspect the roof and attic, photograph the areas we checked and give you a written summary of the roof's condition. You are not required to hire us for repairs. If the roof does not need immediate work, we say that clearly in the report.

1. Choose safe inspection conditionsWe do not walk a roof when snow, ice, rain or other conditions make the inspection unsafe or keep us from seeing the roofing materials clearly. If needed, we reschedule for safer conditions.
2. Inspect every roof slopeWe inspect every roof slope we can safely access, not just the area where you first noticed a problem. Wind, sun and weather can affect more than one section of the roof.
3. Inspect the underside of the roofWe look for water stains on the attic side of the wooden roof deck. We use the location, color and condition of attic stains to judge whether the moisture appears active, older or related to condensation.
4. Organize the report by priorityWe list urgent repairs first. We then list roof conditions you can monitor and work you can plan for later.
