Most homeowners don't think about their roof until water is dripping from the ceiling. By then, a $200 problem has become a $20,000 problem.
What Inspectors Look For
A professional roof inspection covers shingle condition, flashing integrity, vent and pipe seals, gutter attachment, soffit and fascia condition, attic ventilation, and signs of moisture or mold.
Common Problems Caught Early
Small flashing gaps, cracked pipe boots, lifted shingles, and early moss growth are all easy and inexpensive to fix when caught early. Left alone, each can lead to water intrusion and structural damage.
The Real Cost of Skipping Inspections
A minor leak can cause thousands in drywall, insulation, and mold remediation costs. Structural damage from prolonged water exposure can run tens of thousands. Annual inspections typically cost $150-300 — a fraction of any repair.
When to Schedule
The best times are spring (after winter storms) and fall (before the rainy season). If your roof is over 15 years old, twice-yearly inspections are worth the investment.
