To get started, here are some things to add to your weekend Roof Assessment Checklist:
Inside (Attic):
- Check for water stains, daylight, and damp insulation
- Inspect ventilation and attic airflow
Outside (Ground Level):
- Look for granules in gutters and damaged downspouts
- Scan for missing, cracked, or curling shingles
- Check flashing around chimneys and vents
On the Roof – Only if Safe!(*):
- Examine shingle condition and flashing integrity
- Inspect caulk and sealant around roof fixtures
- Check chimney crown and skylight seals
(*) Remember that roofing work can be dangerous, and some problems require specialized knowledge and equipment to address properly. Our highly qualified team can provide a detailed assessment, recommend appropriate repairs, and ensure work is completed safely and to code.
The key is catching small problems before they become expensive disasters, and a simple weekend inspection is your first line of defense. Though a weekend roof assessment is valuable, it’s not a replacement for professional inspection and maintenance. If your roof is more than 15 years old, has been damaged by severe weather, or shows multiple signs of wear, schedule a free consultation with The Roof Kings.
