Your Fall Inspection Checklist

Winter’s harsh snow and wind can cause damage to your home’s exterior. Before the temperatures go lower, hire a professional to inspect your roof and address any damage the system may have. If a minor problem is already present, these elements can cause more damage, including leaks and even failure.

Here’s a fall roof inspection from a trusted roofing company, Adams Roofing Professionals, Inc.

Things to Look For

Missing or Loose Shingles – Damaged shingles or tiles put your roof at risk of leaks, which can result in costly water damage. All missing or loose shingles should be repaired or replaced immediately.

Bruises – Hailstones can pit or crack shingles. Though the shingles remain in one piece, the impact can bruise the underlayment. These bruises can spread and tear, leaving you with a leaking roof.

Damaged Flashing – Flashing secures the connections around chimneys and vents and along valleys between roof sections. With damaged or loose flashing, water and ice can infiltrate your home and compromise the roof’s structural integrity.

Aging Shingles – Excessive granule loss is an indication of aging roofing shingles. Worn shingles will not provide your home with sufficient protection against harsh elements.

Why You Shouldn’t Delay Roof Inspections

Fall is one of the best times of the year to conduct a roof inspection. Temperatures are milder and not as rainy. It would allow your contractor to check your roof without having to reschedule due to bad weather.

It won’t take long before it starts snowing. Snow, sleet, rain and wind can cause damage to your roof. Loose or missing shingles can allow moisture to penetrate your interior.

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]
