ROOF INSPECTIONS

Roofing Inspections

Roof inspections are simply inspections that determine the integrity of a roof, how long it may last, and when it will need to be replaced. Roof inspectors are not going to climb up on your roof or the roof of a home you are thinking of buying and pull up shingles or tiles. Roof inspectors have special procedures wherein they can determine the lifespan of a given roof without tearing into it. At first glance it might seem that roofing inspectors would have to pull up part of the roof to do a thorough examination, but if you consider your own roof, you would not want anyone tearing holes in it just to see if it was in good shape.

Play it Safe

Because replacing a roof can be quite an investment, insurance companies and lenders require that this has been checked off. It makes sense for these companies to protect their investments, but you as the homeowner should want this to be secured as well. You don’t want to be stuck with a bill that you weren’t expecting, and you also don’t want to sell a home to a family and put them in the same spot.

Roof inspections are not all that expensive, and these roofing inspections can give you and your lenders and insurance carriers peace of mind. Because when the rain is coming down or there is a foot of snow weighing down your roof, you want to sleep comfortably knowing that you are secure from above.

When To Schedule

After a hailstorm or other significant weather event, most homeowners recognize the need for a thorough roof inspection to determine whether their roof suffered damage. But that shouldn’t be the only time you consider your roof’s health.

Perhaps the most vital time of year to have your roof inspected is the fall, before the cold of winter sets in. Timing is key. Frigid temperatures can compromise the success of new roof installations and such repairs as shingle replacement because new shingles can’t seal down properly when it’s too cold outside. Moreover, attempting repairs on icy roofs can be treacherous, so roof problems uncovered too late in the season may have to wait until spring to be fixed. Another argument for a fall inspection is the fact that certain roof repairs should be initiated in the fall so they can be completed the next spring—for example, treatment for moss and lichen. The solutions used for either of these invaders can require an extended amount of time to work, sometimes up to 180 days. If moss or lichen are discovered during a fall roof inspection, there’s still a chance to get at them before cold weather sets in. Then, the treatment can be working during those long winter months, and the dead lichen can be swept or rinsed off in the spring.

We contacted Global Roofing &siding due to an issue we had with our roof. They were very courteous and helpful. What I appreciated the most though was that they genuinely care about their customers and aren’t just trying to make a quick buck. The quality of their work is excellent and the workers were very respectful of our property. I highly recommend Global if quality and value are important to you.

Anthony from Global Roofing is awesome. He returned my calls, made an appointment with me and showed up on time. You can tell he's a true professional and loves what he does. He explained everything to me in detail and made sure I understood. He never made me feel rushed or pressured. His crew showed up on time and you could tell that they've worked together before because they were a great team. Anthony said they would be a huge mess but that his crew would leave the place spotless. He wasn't kidding. Not only were my grounds spotless but they were extra- careful and respectful of my neighbors property as well. It really was a pleasure working with him. Thank you Anthony!

Anthony is a top notch guy and I highly recommend Global for your next home improvement project. I chose Global to install siding on my entire home, strip and install a new roof, and install new gutters. Anthony only presented top of the line materials at the estimate and his price was right! Anthony and his crew are masters of the trade. Global was committed to ensuring my expectations were exceeded at every step of the project. My home looks incredible! I wish that I owned more homes so that I could work with Global again. Thank you!

Anthony was absolutely amazing to work with. I spoke with him to explain the need to replace my gutters. Two days later he called me back to tell me his crew would be at the house at 2:30 to complete the job. When I arrived at the house at around 6:00 to check on it, the job was complete, the gutters looked beautiful and they cleaned up immaculately. Anthony answered any and all questions that I had, he was patient throughout the process, and he made me feel comfortable by telling me not to hesitate to call if I had any other questions. Thank you Anthony. It was a pleasure meeting you, and I look forward to working with you in the future. Lastly, thank you for making this stressful home issue a smooth and quick fix.

What a pleasure to work with a team of true professionals! We needed to have the facia replaced on our 100 yr old home. Calls to several roofers for estimates were never even returned. Anthony from Global responded within 24 hrs and came to see us right away. He looked at the work needed and let us know we needed facia, soffits and gutters replaced, also found our dormers were bad. Gave us a true estimate and timeline. His team (Sam and Jose) were here on time as promised and did a fantastic job. You could see their professionalism and attention to detail daily! Even their daily cleanup was amazing. Kept us informed and were open to all of our novice questions. Really made us feel comfortable and reassured that we picked the right company for the job. The gutter team came right on time and also did a great job. Could not have asked for more!! We have worked with many contractors over the years and Global surpassed all of our expectations!!
