According to the National Roofing Contractors Association, a roof should be inspected at least twice a year, in spring and fall, and after any major storm. Here is what Madison County Roofing looks at on every inspection.
Curling, cracking, blistering, granule loss, and missing shingles across the whole field, not just the spot you noticed from the ground.
The metal around chimneys, vents, skylights, and in the valleys is where most leaks actually start. Mark checks every penetration.
Soft spots, sagging, and daylight in the attic mean moisture has reached the wood. Structural problems get flagged, not painted over.
Ridge vents, soffit intake, and attic airflow. Poor ventilation cooks shingles from below and shortens the life of the whole roof.
Where the water goes. Granules in the gutters, standing water, and bad slope all show up in the report.
After a Metro East storm, Mark documents hail bruising and wind damage with photos your insurance carrier will need.
A roof inspection is worth doing before you buy an older home, before you list one for sale, after a hail or wind storm, or when the roof is simply getting old. Asphalt shingle roofs last 20 to 30 years in Illinois weather, so if the last roof went on before 2005, an inspection tells you how much life is left before a leak forces the decision.
