Roof Inspections in Kalamazoo, MI

What's checked

Shingles, flashing, vents, pipe boots, valleys, gutters and the attic, including insulation, ventilation and any signs of leaks or frost.

Before winter

A fall inspection finds loose shingles and open seams before freeze-thaw and snow make them worse.

After storms

Even without obvious damage, a check after a severe storm can catch lifted shingles or loose flashing.

Buying or selling

Buyers want to know the roof's age and condition; sellers can fix small issues before listing.

Signs of wear

Granule loss, curling, cracked shingles and exposed nails show a roof is ageing.

Attic

Frost on nails, damp insulation and stained decking point to ventilation or air-leak problems that also cause ice dams.

Written report

Ask for a report with photos, especially for insurance or a sale.

How often

Every couple of years for older roofs and after major storms.

Book an inspection

Tell the roofer why you need it. Send a request and a roofer will get in touch.

Drone or ladder

Some roofers use drones for steep or fragile roofs and check key spots by hand. Ask for photos either way.

What you'll get

A good inspection ends with a list of what needs doing now, what can wait and roughly how much life the roof has left.

Before buying a home

A roofer's inspection can help you negotiate if the roof needs work soon after you move in.

Insurance renewals

Some insurers ask about a roof's age and condition. An inspection report with photos answers them clearly.
