At Stephens Roofing & Remodeling, we know that your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. To keep it in top condition, regular roof inspections are essential. But what exactly should you expect during a professional roof inspection? Here is a step-by-step explanation on what to expect when a Stephens Roofing vehicle pulls up to your property perform our complimentary roof inspection.
1. Initial Meeting and Discussion
When you schedule a roof inspection with us, the process starts with a meeting to discuss your specific concerns. Whether you’re worried about a leak, storm damage, or simply want a routine check-up, we aim to tailor the inspection to your needs.
This initial conversation helps us understand your specific situation and any potential issues you’ve noticed. It also gives you a chance to ask questions about the inspection process and voice any concerns you may have about your roof’s condition.
2. Exterior Roof Inspection
We begin the actual inspection with a comprehensive examination of your roof’s exterior. Our team looks closely at vulnerable areas like valleys, flashing, and penetrations, such as chimneys or vents. Common problems we check for include:
- Missing or damaged shingles
- Granule loss
- Wear and tear over time
For homes with specialized materials, like metal or tile roofing, we also inspect for rust, cracking, or other material-specific issues that might arise.
3. Gutters and Drainage Check
A key part of preventing leaks and water damage is ensuring proper water drainage. That’s why we take time to assess your gutters and drainage systems. Clogged or damaged gutters can lead to water backing up onto your roof, causing serious issues if left unchecked.
4. Interior Inspection (If Needed)
If you’ve noticed any water stains, mold, or signs of water intrusion inside your home, we’ll take our inspection indoors. Wet insulation, ceiling stains, or mold are all indications that water is entering your home through the roof, and we’ll make sure to identify the source of the issue.
5. Documenting the Inspection
Throughout the inspection, we document everything with detailed notes and photos. This allows us to provide you with a comprehensive report that outlines the condition of your roof, any issues we’ve found, and our recommended next steps.
6. Reviewing Our Findings
Once the inspection is complete, we sit down with you to go over the results. We believe in full transparency, so you’ll receive a clear explanation of our findings, along with answers to any questions you may have.
If we’ve identified any urgent issues that require immediate attention, we’ll make sure to highlight these and explain the potential consequences of delaying repairs. Our team is committed to helping you make informed decisions about your roof’s maintenance and longevity.
7. Providing Solutions
After reviewing the condition of your roof, we offer you a set of clear, actionable recommendations. Whether you need minor repairs, ongoing maintenance, or even a full roof replacement, we’ll help you choose the best course of action for your home.
