What Does a Roof Inspection Include? A Step-by-Step Guide

A roof inspection is a comprehensive, professional assessment of each element of your home’s roofing system. It is performed by a licensed and experienced roofing contractor who will look for signs of damage, wear and tear, and other problems that could get bigger and more expensive over time. If you have a newer roof, you may only need an inspection every two or three years. However, if you have an older roof, you should schedule annual inspections. You should also be doing your own visual inspection of your roof seasonally and after major storms or extreme weather.

At West Coast Roofing, we offer highly detailed roof inspection services in Tucson, AZ. We can evaluate the age, condition, safety, performance, and energy efficiency of your roof and make professional recommendations for roof repairs and maintenance. Here is a closer look at what our inspections include.

Meticulous Work Using a Detailed Roof Inspection Checklist

Our roofing contractors use a detailed roof inspection checklist to ensure we are assessing every element and component of your roofing system. The checklist outlines specific areas to evaluate as well as materials and components to inspect. It also uses a rating system to provide an official record of each area’s structural stability, safety, age, condition, and performance. Using this checklist allows us to standardize our inspection process and make sure each client is getting the highest level of care and attention.

Thorough Exterior Evaluation 

Our contractors begin with a thorough evaluation of all exterior components of your home’s roofing system. We look for signs of water damage, wear and tear, sun and heat damage, pest and animal damage, and broken or missing components. Some of the elements that we inspect include:

  • Roof decking
  • Roofing materials like shingles and tiles
  • Flashing
  • Coping
  • Soffits and fascia
  • Gutters and downspouts
  • Eaves
  • Chimney
  • Ventilation
  • Skylights

Comprehensive Interior Inspection

Next, we perform a comprehensive interior inspection. We assess your attic for signs of leaks, water damage, condensation, increased humidity, mold, or pest or animal problems. We look at the walls, ceilings, and flooring for signs of water stains or leaks. We also inspect the insulation to make sure it is in good condition and is properly installed. We may look underneath and behind plumbing fixtures and appliances to check for signs of water damage, mold, or pest or animal infestations.

Detailed Report of Our Findings and Recommendations

When our inspection is complete, we will create a detailed report of our findings and recommendations, including documentation of all areas of concern. You can provide this to your insurance company or use it to get an estimate for roof repairs or a roof replacement. Our report will include photos, descriptions of specific issues, and our professional recommendations for necessary repairs and maintenance. We will also provide our estimate for the remaining lifespan of your roofing system based on its age, condition, and the materials used.
