There\u2019s a reason people consider a \u201croof over your head\u201d a privilege and an expression of safety. Your home\u2019s roof is often the first line of defence against the elements, be it from storms and rough weather, or unfortunate mishaps and accidents. It\u2019s supposed to be sturdy and long lasting, and you should ensure it remains well-maintained and cared for. That\u2019s where the roof inspection process comes into the picture. A roof inspection is a professional assessment of your roof and its integrity, usually performed by a roofing company or contractor. At Bumble Roofing, we often prescribe periodic roof inspections in order to ensure you don\u2019t run into big issues and unwanted circumstances in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schedule an inspection after a severe storm. Schedule one before selling a home. For most roofs, a check every one to two years is sensible. Roofs with heavy tree cover, visible wear or past repairs should be checked more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inspectors check the exterior and the inside of the attic. Key items include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Photos are taken and the condition of each item is noted. Those records help prioritize repairs and assist insurance claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Options depend on roof access and concern level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose the method that matches roof pitch, access and suspected damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most reports fall into one of three results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each item in the report is given a severity rating and a recommended timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A basic inspection can be completed in 30 to 90 minutes. A full 20 point inspection that includes attic checks and photos may take longer. Costs vary by roof size and access. If temporary protection is needed, tarping is often done the same day. Permanent repairs depend on scope, permits and material lead times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
