Roof Inspections in Central Florida
It's easy for homeowners to spot minor damage like missing or curling shingles, but there are other forms of damage that can't be seen by the untrained eye. Professional roof inspectors are trained to detect damage on your roof that you may not have access to, and hiring one ensures your property is thoroughly analyzed.
During our roof inspections, we check for structural damage such as cracks or chimney damage, look over the materials that cover your roof to make sure nothing is missing or rusting, and perform an interior inspection that uses the inside of your home to check for tell-tale signs of damage like water stains.
Your roof should be professionally inspected at least once a year, before the rainy season starts, and especially after extreme weather such as tropical storms and hurricanes. We're the #1 roofing company in the Wesley Chapel area, servicing Plant City, Lakeland, Winter Haven, and the surrounding cities.
Our Roof Inspection Checklist
We make sure no area of your roof goes unchecked, because the safety of your home is our number one priority. Every inspection covers three fronts: the structure, the interior, and the materials.
Structural inspection: this focuses less on the outward appearance of your roof and more on the structures that hold it together. Our roofers look for uneven roof planes, sagging pitch points, and chimney cracks. We also check your gutter system for worn-out fascia and soffit, and examine your attic for improper venting that could lead to a decreased roof life.
Interior inspection: the inside of your home can alert roofers to small, undetected leaks that may be lurking somewhere on your roof. We check your ceilings, interior walls, and attic for water stains, rot, and other signs of water damage. Streaks of light on your interior walls can also be signs of an opening in your roof.
Material inspection: this is where we attend to the surface of your roof, checking for missing, loose, or curling shingles. Flashing, the thin material used to redirect water away from critical areas like chimneys and skylights, gets a close look too. We make sure your flashing isn't damaged, rusty, or stained.
Roof Analysis and Recommendations
Once we've completed the roof inspection, we deliver our findings to you in a detailed roof analysis. The analysis includes the current condition of your roof and recommended repairs to fix the issues we've found and keep your roof in good shape.
We want you to get a full understanding of our roofing inspection, which is why we create an analysis that is transparent and easy to grasp. And if your roof needs extensive repairs, we'll take one thing off your plate and file your roof insurance claim for you.
You Need a Roof Inspection if You Notice
Certain warning signs mean you shouldn't wait for your next scheduled inspection:
- A sagging roof: if your roof is starting to present a sagging appearance, an inspection is needed as soon as possible. This indicates major structural damage within your foundation or attic.
- Missing shingles: missing shingles expose the underlayment of your roof to water damage. Water can eventually leak into your attic and ceilings and cause even more damage.
- Old age: if your roof is a few decades old, you're definitely in need of a roof inspection. A well-maintained roof can stand the test of time, so if your roof is already aged, it's best to schedule yearly inspections.
- Stains on the ceiling: water stains on your ceiling are a sure sign of a leak in the roof.
Inspections That Support Your Insurance Claim
A roof inspection before filing a claim provides written documentation of your roof's condition prior to damage, which can help prevent claim denial due to alleged pre-existing issues. True Roofers' inspection reports support your insurance claim from the start.
We perform pre-existing condition inspections, post-storm damage inspections, and routine maintenance inspections for residential and commercial properties across Central Florida, and every inspection comes with written documentation of our findings.
