Your roof is the most expensive exterior system on your home, and it degrades silently. UV radiation bakes the granule coating off asphalt shingles. Thermal cycling cracks sealant at flashing transitions. Wind lifts shingle edges and loosens ridge cap. Carmichaels Roofing & Maintenance's roof inspection catches all of this before it becomes a $15,000 emergency.
We inspect the roof in three stages. First, we walk the entire surface — checking shingles for wear, flashing for gaps, and all penetrations for seal integrity. Second, we examine the perimeter — drip edge, eave condition, gutter attachment, fascia and soffit condition. Third, we go into the attic — checking ventilation, insulation, and looking for moisture, mold, or daylight showing through the roof deck.
Our Roof Inspection Process
Book Online or Call
Call (877) 586-1316 or book online. We schedule same-week roof inspections throughout Carmichaels. Tell us if it's routine maintenance, real estate, insurance, or storm-related — each type gets a tailored inspection protocol.
Rooftop Assessment
Full exterior roof walk. We check every square foot of shingles, every flashing transition, every penetration seal. Pipe boots squeezed for brittleness. Chimney flashing probed for gaps. Valley channels checked for debris buildup and wear. Photos taken of every finding.
Below-Deck Assessment
Below-deck inspection from the attic. We verify that soffit vents aren't blocked by insulation, ridge vents are continuous, and there's no moisture or mold on the sheathing. Ventilation problems shorten roof life dramatically.
