There’s a good reason you call an experienced roofing contractor like RRSA Vero Beach to inspect your roof--because we know what to look for. But how can you be sure the free inspection we offer is a thorough one? To help Vero Beach homeowners and commercial property owners understand what all is included in our complimentary roof inspection, we have included the following information:

What Is Included in Your Free Vero Beach Roof Inspection?

The roof of your Vero Beach home contains many details which can characterize any number of problems, but the first thing we look at is simply the overall condition of the roof. Is it worn? Does it look in disrepair? Are there shingles or flashing hanging off it? Are other elements out of place? A few curled or blistering shingles can indicate a spot repair, but if this is an overall characteristic, it’s time to replace.

Next, our professional team member will look for debris on the roof. Is there build-up? Is this random or is there an apparent cause for the build up? Is there any place where water or moisture is gathering and can’t drain? If this has already resulted in leaks the structural damage may be obvious, but sometimes it’s still covert. On a pitched roof, water shouldn’t accumulate anywhere.

If there are small amounts of granules in the rain gutters this is normal. A large number of roof granules mean the surface is deteriorating. Sometimes RRSA Vero Beach also notices deterioration when we see exposed nails. These are also a place where leaks can occur.

All flashing should be firmly in place and have no loose ends, holes or other places where water can run. During our free roof inspection, we will check around chimneys and plumbing vents. Step flashing around chimneys and masonry should still be embedded in mortar. If it has come out it’s time to be replaced.

Your Vero Beach roof also needs to be inspected from underneath. A trip to the attic can reveal a multitude of details. The most important thing our representative will look for is any sign of leakage. Roof decking that’s stained on the bottom may be well on its way to rot or at the beginning of deterioration. We also search for signs of light and make sure none of them require repairs topside. Sheathing that is sagging or cracked or any cracked rafters are indicators of a need for structural repairs.

That pretty much sums up what will happen during a free roof inspection from RRSA Vero Beach. We cover all of South Florida and service both residential and commercial properties. We will provide a prompt, thorough roof inspection at no cost to you. Once our inspection is completed, our professional team member will deliver a detailed proposal if we feel you need a new roof or offer advice about having repairs made. Call us today and schedule your free roof inspection anywhere in the Vero Beach and South Florida area.
