Understanding the Importance of Regular Roof Inspections
A comprehensive roof inspection is the foundation for protecting your home’s structural integrity and safeguarding your investment. At New Old Remodeling, our certified professionals conduct thorough evaluations that go beyond surface-level checks. We examine every component of your roofing system to catch potential issues early—before they turn into costly repairs.
Your roof faces constant exposure to harsh weather, UV rays, and temperature changes year-round. Regular inspections are essential for extending its lifespan and maintaining peak performance.
What We Check During Our Inspections
Our detailed roof inspections cover critical elements including:
- Shingles: We look for curling, cracking, missing granules, and any absent shingles that signal wear or damage. Special attention is given to valleys, ridges, and roof transitions where wear is often accelerated.
- Flashing: Proper sealing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and other penetrations is essential to prevent leaks, one of the most common roofing issues.
- Gutters: We check that gutters and downspouts are securely attached, properly sloped, and effectively directing water away from your foundation.
- Ventilation & Insulation: Evaluating attic airflow and insulation levels helps maintain energy efficiency and prevents premature roof deterioration.
- Decking & Underlayment: When accessible, we assess these underlying components to detect early signs of moisture or structural damage.
