Why Get a Roof Inspection
There are a few key reasons why our customers typically get a roof inspection in Nashville, TN. They include:
Recent Storm Damage: If your home or homes nearby have sustained storm damage, a roof inspection is a smart response. Even if you can’t see damage from the ground, it is possible that the elements affected your property, and you may not know until the next storm unless you get an inspection right away.
Selling or Buying a Property: As you buy or sell a home, getting a roof inspection is an important part of the process. Doing this ahead of selling could allow you to make repairs (or even a replacement) to increase your property value and show good faith with potential buyers. When you’re considering buying, if the seller hasn’t had the roof inspected within the last year, it is due diligence and best practice to have your own roof inspection performed so you’re aware of the state of your new property.
Signs of a Leak: Have you noticed water damage near the ceilings in your home? Maybe you see stains on the exterior walls? It’s time to call Jason Shackleford Roofing and Repair if there is a leak in your home that seems to be coming from the roof.
Annual Inspection: Roof warranties require annual inspections, and in fact, we recommend them as part of your regular maintenance. Even if you don’t notice anything yourself, annual inspections help you get ahead of problems before they impact your day-to-day life. This practice also saves you money. An inspection once a year for ten years is still cheaper than…
Our Inspection Technology
To accomplish each inspection, our team determines which tools will appropriately identify your problem. We take into account the severity of the issue in question, your specific roof style and pitch, and other relevant factors. The tools we keep in our arsenal include:
- Drones: With a drone, we can accurately assess the condition of your roof from all angles.
- Moisture Meters: We use these devices to measure the moisture content in areas we suspect have been impacted by a leak.
- Infrared (IR) Scans: IR scanning detects heat and produces a thermal image, which is also useful in leak detection.
What a Roofing Professional Inspects
A Jason Shackleford Roofing and Repair roof inspection is a wholistic review of your entire roofing system from the top of your home to the foundation. Our trained estimators look at these key points as a part of their complete inspection. This may begin with a visual inspection from the ground, similar to one you might do yourself from time to time, but it certainly does not stop there. We continue by examining the following:
- Shingles: If you have a shingle roof, we will check to make sure your shingles still are in good condition. We go up onto your roof to complete this part of the inspection, as it is difficult to fully evaluate all parts of your shingles from the ground.
- Valleys: We will pay extra attention to the valleys and the joints around your roof, as these are often places where leaks will occur.
Penetrations & Flashing: A penetration is a part of the roof like a skylight, chimney, or vent that requires a seal from material like metal flashing around the edge. We will ensure there are no cracks or leaks near these features. - Gutters: Gutters can crack, come loose, rust, or get blocked with debris. We will check to ensure your gutters are still working as expected and recommend a solution if they are not.
- Attic & Ventilation: We don’t just check the outside of your roof. The inside is important too, especially your attic. Ventilation in your attic greatly impacts the stability and structure of your roof, so we carefully consider this as part of your inspection.
You may notice that the places we check for problems are similar to the places where repairs are often required. Our goal during a roof inspection in Nashville and the surrounding areas is to get ahead of any problems you may have by sighting the earliest signs. If we can do this, we may be able to recommend a maintenance solution or care that will stave off severe issues or costly repairs.
