What’s Included in Our 30-Point Roof Inspection?
Below is a complete breakdown of the 30 points we evaluate during your roof inspection:
1. Shingle Condition
We inspect for curling, cracking, granule loss, blistering, and missing shingles—signs of age or storm damage.
2. Roof Age Estimation
Our team evaluates your roofing material’s condition to estimate remaining lifespan and identify weathering.
3. Roof Deck Evaluation (from attic view if accessible)
We check for sagging, rotting, or signs of leaks in the roof sheathing beneath the surface.
4. Signs of Leaks or Moisture Intrusion
We search for water stains, discoloration, or mold around ceilings and roof penetrations.
5. Pipe Boot Flashing
Cracks or wear around plumbing vent boots are common causes of leaks—we ensure seals are intact and flashing is secure.
6. Drip Edge Installation
We check that drip edges are properly installed along all eaves and gable ends to direct water away from the roof fascia.
7. Gutters & Downspouts
Are they securely attached? Are they draining properly? We make sure your gutter system helps prevent water intrusion.
8. Fascia Boards
Soft or rotting fascia is a sign of poor water management. We check for damage and moisture penetration.
9. Soffits
We inspect soffit panels for pest intrusion, cracks, and mold caused by poor ventilation or roof leaks.
10. Roof Valleys
These vulnerable areas collect and drain water. We look for granule loss, debris buildup, and improper flashing.
11. Nail Pops and Exposed Fasteners
Lifted or rusty nails can loosen shingles or allow water infiltration. We identify and document these issues.
12. Ridge Caps
We examine ridge cap shingles for cracking or detachment and confirm that ridge vents are sealed correctly.
13. Ventilation System
Proper intake and exhaust ventilation prevents attic moisture buildup, reduces cooling costs, and extends roof life.
14. Attic Moisture & Mold Signs
If accessible, we inspect attic insulation and decking for signs of water intrusion or poor airflow.
15. Skylight Seals and Flashing (if present)
Skylights are vulnerable to leaks if flashing or seals deteriorate. We ensure everything is watertight.
16. Storm and Wind Uplift Damage
We check for lifted shingles, torn materials, and impact marks from flying debris—common after Florida’s storms.
17. Hail Impact Damage
We look for bruised or punctured shingles that can weaken your roof over time.
18. Algae or Moss Growth
Common in humid areas, organic growth can retain moisture and eat away at your roofing materials.
19. Flashing Condition Around Roof Penetrations
Metal flashing around pipes, vents, and solar mounts must be rust-free and securely installed.
20. Sealant & Caulking Condition
We evaluate sealants around flashing and penetrations for drying, cracking, or shrinkage.
21. Eaves and Overhangs
We inspect for signs of structural wear, moisture exposure, and pest nesting.
22. Underlayment Exposure or Damage
Visible or deteriorating underlayment is a serious red flag that protection beneath shingles is compromised.
23. Interior Ceiling Review
We check for stains, bubbling paint, or warping on interior ceilings—all signs of active or previous leaks.
24. Roof-to-Wall Transitions
Where your roof connects to exterior walls, we inspect flashing and transitions for potential water entry points.
25. Structural Sagging or Uneven Roof Lines
We look for dips or irregular slopes that may indicate hidden damage or a failing support structure.
26. Mounted Equipment Seals (e.g., satellite dishes or solar panels)
We verify that mounts have been properly installed and sealed to prevent leaks.
27. Flat or Low-Slope Roof Drainage (if applicable)
Any areas prone to ponding are evaluated for proper slope, drainage, and waterproofing.
28. Debris Accumulation in Valleys or Behind Vents
Leaves, branches, and dirt trap moisture—leading to rot or mold if not addressed.
29. Material Installation Quality
We evaluate if your shingles or tiles were installed according to best practices and building code.
30. Overall Roof Health Report & Photos
You receive a comprehensive summary, including inspection photos and clear recommendations for repairs, replacement, or maintenance.
