Roof Inspection & Maintenance

Why Regular Inspections Matter

Most roof problems start small. A few missing shingles here, a small crack in the flashing there. Left alone, these minor issues turn into major leaks that damage your home's interior and cost thousands to fix. Regular roof inspections catch these problems while they're still cheap and easy to repair.

At Pine Way Rohnert Park Roofing, we provide thorough roof inspections for homeowners throughout Rohnert Park. We'll examine every part of your roof, identify any issues, and give you clear recommendations on what needs attention now and what to watch for in the future.

Our Comprehensive Inspection Process

Our inspections cover every component that protects your home:

• •Shingles or roofing material: We check for missing, cracked, curling, or damaged shingles that compromise your roof's protection.
• •Flashing: Metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys is critical for keeping water out. We inspect it closely for rust, gaps, or damage.
• •Gutters and downspouts: Clogged or damaged gutters cause water to back up under your roof, leading to leaks and rot.
• •Ventilation: Proper attic ventilation prevents moisture buildup and extends your roof's life. We check all vents for proper function.
• •Structural integrity: We look for sagging, signs of water damage, or other structural concerns that need attention.
• •Interior signs: When possible, we check your attic for water stains, mold, or other signs of roof problems.

Preventive Maintenance Saves Money

Inspections identify problems, but maintenance prevents them. Our maintenance services keep your roof in top condition year after year. We clean debris from your roof and gutters that can trap moisture and cause damage. We seal small cracks before they become leaks and replace a few damaged shingles before wind tears off dozens more.

We trim overhanging branches that scrape your roof and drop debris. We check and reseal roof penetrations like vents and pipes. We also verify proper attic ventilation to prevent moisture problems.

Regular maintenance typically costs a few hundred dollars per year. Compare that to thousands for major repairs or tens of thousands for early roof replacement, and the value becomes clear. When repairs are needed, we also provide expert roof repair services and complete roof replacement solutions.

When to Schedule an Inspection

We recommend annual inspections for most roofs, preferably in the fall before winter weather arrives. This gives you time to address any issues before storms stress your roof. You should also schedule an inspection after any severe weather event like heavy winds, hail, or falling branches.

If you're buying or selling a home, a roof inspection protects your investment. Buyers want to know the roof's condition before closing, and sellers can address issues upfront to avoid surprises during negotiations.

Finally, if you notice any warning signs like water stains on ceilings, missing shingles, or granules in gutters, don't wait for your annual inspection. Call us right away so we can assess the situation before minor damage becomes a major problem.
