Roof Inspections in Clarkston

A good roof inspection answers one question: what condition is this roof in, and what, if anything, needs doing? Getting to that answer takes more than a glance. We start on the ground, looking at the roof lines for sagging and at the gutters and downspouts for granule buildup, which is often the first sign shingles are wearing out. Then we go up. Each slope gets walked. We look for hail bruises, cracked or curling shingles, lifted tabs, exposed nail heads and areas where moss or debris holds moisture, something common under the tall trees around Clarkston. Flashing at walls and valleys gets a close look, since that is where many leaks begin. So do pipe boots, which crack as they age. Vents are checked for damage and for whether intake and exhaust are balanced. Where the attic is reachable, we head inside to look for daylight, stains, damp insulation and signs of soft decking. Everything we find gets photographed. You end up with a written summary sorted into three groups: what is in good shape, what is wearing and worth watching, and what needs attention now. That way you can plan, whether that means a small repair, a replacement down the road or simply peace of mind.
