The length of a roof inspection can vary based on the size of your roof and the degree of damage, but it usually takes between thirty minutes and two hours.

What's Included in a Roof Inspection?

Blue Sky Roofing inspections include the following steps:

  1. Initial Inspection:
    • Exterior Check: We will examine your roof from the ground, looking for missing or damaged shingles, loose flashing, and signs of water damage.
    • Interior Check: We'll check your attic for signs of water damage, mold, and insulation issues.
  2. Close-Up Inspection:
    • Roof Access: Our inspectors will climb onto your roof to get a closer look at the shingles, flashing, and other components.
    • Detailed Examination: We'll check for wear and tear, cracks, and other damage.
  3. Roof Age and Material Evaluation:
    • Age Assessment: If the age is unknown, we will estimate your roof's age based on the materials and the current condition.
    • Material Evaluation: We'll determine the type of roofing material and assess its suitability for Florida's wind standards.
  4. Checking for Ventilation and Drainage:
    • Ventilation Assessment: We'll check your attic's ventilation to ensure proper airflow and moisture control.
    • Drainage Inspection: We'll examine your gutters, downspouts, and drainage system to ensure they are functioning correctly.

Why Roof Inspections Matter

Roof inspections are a crucial part of home maintenance, especially in Florida. Regular inspections can help prevent costly repairs and ensure your home's structural integrity.
