Five places we look
An inspection should tell you what shape the roof is in, what needs attention now, and roughly how many years are left. We get there by checking five areas.
- The roof surface. Shingle, tile, metal or flat membrane, checked for wear, granule loss, cracks, slipped pieces and storm damage.
- Flashing and penetrations. Walls, chimneys, skylights, valleys, vents and pipe boots, where most leaks begin.
- Edges and airflow. Drip edge, soffit and ridge vents, and whether attic heat has a way out.
- The attic. Stains, damp insulation, daylight through the deck and old leak marks.
- Gutters and drainage. Whether water leaves the roof where it should.
A report you keep
Every finding has a photo, good news included, and each one is marked as act now or can wait. Homeowners use the report to budget, to answer an insurer or a buyer, and to check other roofers' quotes against. If the roof is fine, the report says so.
Good times to book
| Moment | What the inspection gives you |
|---|---|
| Spring, before June 1 | Loose shingles and flashing fixed before storm season |
| Right after a storm | Early proof of damage for a repair or a claim |
| Insurance renewal | A record of the roof's real condition and remaining life |
| Buying or selling | No surprises before closing |
| A new ceiling stain or musty attic | The leak found before the deck rots |
Our guide to signs you need a new roof lists what you can check yourself from the ground.
Yearly checkups after we work on your roof
Roofs we replace or repair get a free inspection every year after. A split pipe boot or one lifted shingle is cheap to fix in March. Left through a Florida rainy season, the same problem can soak the decking and stain a ceiling.
Who walks your roof
One of our own roofers, not a salesperson or a subcontractor, goes up on the roof and into the attic. Assure-U has run inspections from its East Orlando office since 2004.
