Roofing inspections are a simple way to extend the longevity of your roofing system. If you want to minimize the chances of an unexpected roofing repair, it's best to schedule an inspection with a reputable roofer.

As a professional roofing company, we have helped numerous customers with their inspection needs. This article will cover what you can expect during a roof inspection appointment. 

Initial Consultation

The first step of a roofing inspection will be a consultation with the roofer. This process will involve the roofing company gathering details of the roof and its maintenance history.

A roofing company will base their inspection on the history of your roofing system and details on what to expect. During the consultation, you can also ask any questions you have about how they handle roofing inspections. 

Exterior Roof Assessment 

Once the inspection starts, a licensed inspector will assess the exterior of the roofing system. An experienced inspector will know how to spot even minor signs of damage to critical components like shingles, flashing, and vent seals. 

If the roofing inspector spots a problem, they will take photographic evidence and document the damage. Depending on the roof layout, a roofer might use a drone to inspect certain sections of the roofing system for their safety. 

Interior Roofing Inspection

A roofing inspection doesn't only include the surface level of the roofing system. The interior and the attic will also be inspected by the roofer for signs of damage and moisture. 

An inspector may check the insulation and look for any leaks in the roofing system. This interior inspection will give roofers the best understanding of the overall health and performance of the roof. 

Overview of Inspection Findings and Recommendations

After inspecting the roof, the roofing company will sit down with you and discuss the findings. The roofer will provide any photographic evidence of reported damage or give your roof a stamp of approval if it's in good condition.

If there is damage, the roofing company will provide you with recommendations on services for fixing it. The recommendations will often be paired with an estimate and timeline for the project as well.
