During a roofing inspection, professional roofing contractors will visually inspect the construction of your roof interior and exterior. A roof that is well-constructed protects your home and your family. It is also exposed to extremes in weather and daily wear and tear. Roofing should be built with proper materials and techniques in order to withstand whatever the weather throws your way. To begin an inspection, the inspector locates dormers, chimneys, crickets, gutters, and flashing points that require special attention. The inspector will examine the roof surface and exposed areas very carefully to determine the potential for leaks and other damage. Inspectors may also examine the roof from the inside of the structure. In this case, they will be checking eaves, fasteners, braces, and support materials. The internal condition of your roof could indicate which areas need extra attention externally. Most roof inspections are completed within an hour.
