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. Winterthur 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
Quick scheduling by phone or online. Most Winterthur inspections booked within 3-5 business days. Storm damage inspections prioritized for faster turnaround.
Surface Inspection
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
We enter the attic to check from below. Soffit vent airflow verified. Ridge vent continuity checked. Insulation levels measured. Roof deck inspected for moisture stains, mold, daylight, or sagging between rafters. This catches problems the surface walk can't see.
Findings Delivered
You receive a written report with annotated photos within 48 hours. Findings prioritized by urgency: critical (active leaks, failed flashing), moderate (worn shingles, marginal ventilation), and low (cosmetic, long-term maintenance). Repair estimates included.
