What a Roof Inspection Includes
Common signs you may need roof inspections include Dark spots, stains, or discoloration on your ceiling or attic — water is getting in somewhere, Shingles that look curled, cracked, or missing pieces — exposed underlayment shortens roof life, Granules collecting in your gutters or on the ground — shingles are deteriorating faster than normal.
What a Roof Inspection Includes
- Exterior roof walk-through with detailed visual assessment of all shingles, flashing, and penetrations
- Interior attic inspection to check for water damage, proper ventilation, and insulation condition
- Close-up photography of any problem areas or areas of concern
- Written inspection report with photos, condition summary, and recommendations for repair or monitoring
How We Inspect Your Roof
- Walk the entire roof surface from ground and roof level — we check shingles, flashing, valleys, and penetrations (chimneys, vents, skylights)
- Document findings with close-up photos of problem areas — you get a visual record of exactly what we found
- Check the attic and interior for water stains, mold, or moisture — leaks show signs inside before they show outside
- Provide a written report with photos, condition assessment, and recommended timeline for repairs
Red Wing's climate — heavy snow and ice in winter, combined with spring thaw and summer storms — accelerates roof wear and creates multiple leak points through ice damming and water penetration. A professional inspection catches Minnesota-specific failures like ice dam damage and attic moisture before they become structural problems.
