Attic Inspection

An often-overlooked aspect of a complete Roof Inspection, the attic plays a critical role in identifying hidden issues such as leaks or poor ventilation.

When Should You Schedule a Roof Inspection?

There are specific times when a Roof Inspection becomes essential for Grand Rapids homeowners:
Severe.

After a Severe Storm

Michigan weather can be harsh, and after a significant storm, it's crucial to check for damages. Whether it’s hail, high winds, or heavy snow, post-storm Roof Inspections can reveal issues before they get worse.

Spring.

Before Winter and After Spring

Inspecting before the colder months helps to ensure your roof is ready to withstand snow and ice, while an inspection after spring helps detect damage from the winter freeze.

Signs You Need a Roof Inspection Right Away

While annual inspections are recommended, there are some warning signs that should prompt you to schedule a Roof Inspection immediately:
Ceiling.

Water Stains on Your Ceiling

This is a strong indicator of a leak and can lead to serious interior damage if left untreated.

Damaged-1.

Missing or Damaged Shingles

Missing shingles create vulnerabilities where water can seep in, leading to costly structural damage.

Sagging-3.

Sagging Roof Deck

If you notice a dip or sagging areas on your roof, it could indicate compromised structural integrity.

Gutters-2.

Granules in Your Gutters

Granules from asphalt shingles accumulating in gutters suggest your shingles are degrading and need inspection.
