ROOF INSPECTION

Why Should You Get a Roof Inspection on Your Home?

A roof inspection for your home is a critical step in maintaining its integrity and protection qualities. Regular roof evaluation can catch any roof damage or wear and tear early, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in potential future repairs. Staying ahead of maintenance issues through regular professional inspections makes sense, and saves you from potential headaches and costs in the future, ensuring maximum longevity of the roofing system, and effectiveness of the home’s most important protective barrier.

What is a Professional Roof Inspection?

Roof Inspector Checking Out a Residential Home Roof for Damage in Texas

A roof inspection is a thorough examination of the condition of all the components of your home’s roofing system, performed by a professional roof inspector. The inspector carefully examines all the parts of the roof and assesses the overall health and integrity of the roofing system. This comprehensive evaluation evaluates both the exterior and interior aspects of your roof, checking for signs of wear, damage, or potential future problems.

The Importance of Professional Roof Inspections

It is easy to underestimate the value of a professional roof inspection, and while it might seem like an unnecessary expense, a roof inspection can actually save you money in the long run. By identifying minor issues early, an inspection can prevent major repairs or complete roof replacements later, that could cost tens of thousands of dollars. Also, the importance of the maintaining integrity of the primary protection system for your home against nature’s elements gives you “peace of mind.”

The Cost of a Professional Roof Inspection

Roof inspection cost is one of the most common issues we get asked about. Most reputable roofing companies offer free home roof inspections as part of their commitment to customer care. A reputable roofing contractor will give you an honest and transparent assessment of your home’s roof, and a fair estimate of any repair costs. But if you feel you need an independent inspection, done by a certified roof inspector instead of a roofing company, they are available. As a general rule, an independent roof inspector will normally charge anywhere from $100 to $500. Factors that affect that price include:

The size of the home
The complexity of the roof
The type of roof material
The inspection method (traditional or drone inspection)

At Badon Solutions Roofing and Construction we offer free inspections and guarantee you will get an honest assessment of your home’s roof without any financial commitment or obligation. We will provide a detailed report and estimate of any repair costs. Our pledge to you is that we will always be honest and treat you like family!

What Does a Professional Roof Inspector Look For?

A professional roof inspector will carefully inspect and assess all components of a home’s roofing system including:

Shingle Condition

Check for curling, cracking, or missing shingles
Look for granule loss on asphalt shingles
Identify signs of aging or weather damage

Structural Integrity

Examine roof decking for sagging or signs of structural weakness
Check roof pitch and alignment
Inspect rafters and trusses for signs of water damage

Flashing and Seals

Evaluate the condition of metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights
Check for proper sealing and potential leaks
Ensure the integrity of water-tight connections at joints

Gutters and Drainage

Inspect gutter condition and attachment points
Check for proper water drainage off roof and away from the structure
Look for signs of water damage due to improper drainage

Interior Ceilings

Examine interior ceilings for water stains
Check for moisture or mold in the attic
Look for light penetration through the roofing surface indicating damage

Roof Venting

Evaluate roof and attic ventilation systems
Check for proper airflow
Identify potential heat retention or moisture retention issues

Drone Roof Inspection

High tech drones with high resolution cameras have become a very useful tool in roof inspection. They offer several advantages for inspectors and homeowners:

Enhanced safety for inspectors
Gives the ability to examine hard-to-reach areas
Uses high-resolution imagery for detailed analysis
Allows minimal disruption to your property
Can give a more comprehensive view of roof condition

While drone technology can provide inspectors a more comprehensive view of a roof’s condition, and uncover issues not easily viewable from ground level, they are not a complete substitute for an experienced, professional roof inspector. At Badon Solutions we use drone technology but combine it with our know-how and experience to provide you the best and most complete evaluation of the roof of your home.

When Should You Get a Roof Inspection?

We recommend you get a proof inspection in these instances:

After severe weather events like hailstorms, high winds, or heavy rains a roof hail damage inspection is highly recommended
Before purchasing a home
Every 3-5 years for typical residential roofs
Annually for roofs over 15 years old
If you notice any obvious roof damage

Signs You Need an Immediate Roof Inspection

If you see any of these warning signs you should get a professional roof inspection as soon as possible:

Visible sagging in roof lines
Water stains on interior ceilings
Missing or damaged shingles
Granules accumulating in gutters
Daylight visible through roof boards
Moss or algae growth on roof surface

Positive customer reviews
Modern inspection techniques
Comprehensive reporting
Transparent pricing
Experience and reputation

  Kendall and his team did a fantastic job with our roof replacement.  He was on time, on budget, professional and always available to answer any questions.  He was on the job and supervised the project personally.  He also provided immediate feedback and answers to questions via email, text or phone and provided needed information after the job was completed.  We have referred him to a neighbor who was also pleased with his finished job and we would not hesitate to refer him to anyone with roofing  or construction needs.

  Kendal and the Badon Solutions did a tremendous job from start to finish. Kendal walked me through the entire roofing process. My wife and I had no clue of the intricacies of talking to the insurance companies. However help us navigate from the roofing materials to the gutter proposal we understood up front what the insurance company allocated and what was needed each step of the way. Wonderful experience! Kendall also helped us with connecting with a contractor to get a fresh coat of paint on our garage doors and edging for a reasonable price! Thanks, Kendall to this day Kendal and his team remains available if I have any follow up questions.

  Kendall and his team were stress free to work with. He and the team are honest, professional, hard working, and my favorite they cared more our needs rather than our money. They did a great job on the roof and we also had them do a few other things we needed as well. Thanks again Kendall and team for serving us.
