Why Get a Roof Inspection in Plain City?

Some roof problems in Plain City are difficult to see from the ground. We check the shingles, flashing, roof openings and attic for damage and ventilation problems. If we find a problem before water reaches a larger part of the roof or the inside of the home, you may only need to repair the smaller damaged area. We also describe the roof's condition and whether replacement appears to be approaching so you can plan future maintenance or replacement.

When Is a Roof Inspection Worth Doing in Plain City?

You should have your roof inspected in Plain City before you buy or sell a home, after a severe storm, or when you want to check the condition of an aging roof. If a recent storm damaged roofs in your neighborhood or blew shingles off nearby homes, your roof may have storm damage too. We inspect the shingles, flashing and roof openings for storm damage. We photograph any damage we find and tell you whether your roof needs repairs.

What Does a Roof Inspection in Plain City Include?

We inspect the main parts of the roofing system that affect the roof's condition and lifespan. We check whether the shingles are still sealed together, inspect the metal flashing around roof joints, evaluate attic ventilation and look for damage to the wooden roof deck. Problems with shingles, flashing, attic ventilation or the wooden roof deck can develop before you can see damage from the ground.

We adjust the inspection to the roof's design, age and condition. On Plain City 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.
  • 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.
  • Attic ventilation: We check whether the attic has enough airflow. Poor ventilation can trap heat and moisture and can contribute to winter ice problems.
  • 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.
  • 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.

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.

How Does a Roof Inspection in Plain City Work?

We schedule the roof inspection at a time that works for you, and you do not always need to be home. After the inspection, we send you photographs and a written summary of the roof's condition. You can keep the written report for your records or share the report with a buyer, seller or insurer.

  1. Schedule the inspectionA typical inspection takes about an hour. You do not always need to be home. We can send you the photographs and written report afterward.
  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. Report when no repair is neededIf the roof is in good condition and does not need immediate work, we say that clearly in the written report.

How much does a roof inspection in Plain City cost?

Our roof inspections in Plain City are free. You do not have to hire us for any repair work.

You can keep the written report, share the report with a buyer or seller, provide the report to an insurer or use the report when asking another roofer for a second opinion.

What do you actually check?

We inspect the shingles on every roof slope we can safely access. We also check the flashing around chimneys, walls and valleys, along with the seals around vents and pipes. We inspect the roof edges, gutters and attic. Inside the attic, we look for water stains, damp insulation, rusted nails, ventilation problems and other signs of moisture that may not be visible from the roof surface.

How often should a roof be inspected?

For many homes in Plain City, an inspection every few years is reasonable. You should also consider an inspection after a severe storm or when nearby roofs suffer storm damage. If the roof is newer, we can check the installation before the workmanship warranty expires. If we document an installation defect that the warranty covers, you can contact the responsible installer or warranty provider before the coverage period ends.
