HERE FOR ALL OF YOUR ROOFING NEEDS!
If you decide to do your own roofing maintenance, it is critical to develop a checklist to use during inspections. Your roof maintenance checklist will help ensure that you do not overlook any of the elements that require inspection. Your completed checklists will also serve as proof of proper maintenance should you need to submit an insurance or warranty claim.
Look for Red Flags Early
Your seasonal roof clearings create perfect opportunities for general inspections and repairs. You just have to know what to look for while you’re up there. The first part of roof inspection starts inside your home. First, check in the attic for any stains that may indicate water leakage caused by a roof issue. Have you noticed any stains on the ceilings in your home? Make note of where they’re located because they could actually be roof leaks.
Here’s the rest of the checklist for what to look for on your roof:
- Missing shingles
- Loose shingles
- Lifted shingles
- Signs of moss or mold
- Worn spots
- Cracking, peeling, or curling shingles
- Loose flashing
- Loose nails or metal roof bolts
