What You Need To Know: Residential Roofing Inspection

The weather conditions in the Elk Grove Village, IL can go from one extreme to the next. And this is not just during one season but throughout the entire year. With an average of 37 inches of rain, 36 inches of snow, and let’s not forget hot summers, your home’s roof goes through a lot each year. And therefore, having a residential roofing inspection once or twice a year is so important. An inspection can find small problems which could quickly grow into major, expensive problems. Those problems jeopardize your roof’s ability to keep water out of your home.

Here are a few things you should know about residential roofing inspections.

What’s Involved in a Roof Inspection?
Your roof inspector will need to complete a full interior roof inspection. This means you will need to be home to allow the inspector access to your attic. While he is in the attic, he will check to see if it is properly insulated and ventilated. He will also look for signs of moisture and mold which could indicate there is a leak in your roof.

The roof inspector will also do a full exterior inspection of your roof. He will need to go up on your roof to look to assess the condition of your roof for signs of wear and tear in:

Shingles
Flashing
Chimney

Additionally, the inspector will look for signs of leaks or the potential for ice dams.

After inspecting the interior and exterior of your roof, your roofer will advise you of any immediate repairs which should be made. This is a good time to ask any questions or discuss any concerns you might have. Your roofer will create a report and give you an estimate of his recommendations for your roof.

Work with an Experienced and Trustworthy Roofer

You should not trust just anyone to inspect your roof. You should choose a roofer who is experienced. The roofer should be known for his honesty throughout your community. A trustworthy roofer will be more than willing to provide you with references from happy customers. He will be happy to show you any awards and certifications his company has received.

I wanted to let you know about an experience I had with one of your employees. I live at 1200 Knottingham Court in Kingsport Estates and apparently, your company is servicing our condo association. My building has had a leak in the entryway for several months and Eddie was dispatched out to have me show him the source of the leak inside. I met him on Friday, September 21st and just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with his friendliness and professionalism. He immediately found the source of the leak and even went up on the roof to show me. He assured me that someone would take care of it as soon as possible and told me he would give the report priority to avoid any further damage. As someone who used to be in Customer Service, I always value a company that hires people that are not only skilled at their trade, but also skilled at interacting with people. Eddie is a great example of that and I wanted you to know so you could tell him what a great job he does! I am so glad that Alma Management chose Adams Roofing to be our roofing contractor!...

Charlie, Thanks very much for replacing the gutter! No one has been out to do it, at least before I left for work this morning. But I will definitely let you know whether it’s done correctly. I am very satisfied with your roofing job. It looks great, and more importantly, there were no leaks when it rained (even though we haven’t gotten really hard rains yet). So, I have been very pleased with my experience with Adams, especially with the professionalism and responsiveness of you and Dan. Thanks.... [more]

I wanted to take a moment to comment on your technician, Eddie. Eddie was assigned to inspect a roof leak I am having in my home in Cobblestone Circle. He was prompt, professional, courteous and informative; everything a customer could ask for when inviting a contractor into their home. Eddie represents Adams Roofing Well; and clearly he is an asset to your company. Kudos to him! Thank you.... [more]
