Roof inspections aren't just for obvious leaks. If your roof is over 10 years old, you should have it inspected annually. If you're buying or selling a home in Old Chatham, a roof inspection is essential due diligence. If a storm hit your area, an inspection documents damage for insurance claims. Old Chatham Roofing & Maintenance handles all three.
Flashing failures cause most roof leaks, not shingle failures. That's why we check every flashing point: chimney flashing (the #1 leak source), step flashing at wall transitions, counter-flashing at masonry, pipe boots at plumbing vents, and vent boots at exhaust penetrations. We check the sealant condition at each and note any gaps, corrosion, or separation.
Our Roof Inspection Process
Book Online or Call
Call (877) 586-1316 or book online. We schedule same-week roof inspections throughout Old Chatham. Tell us if it's routine maintenance, real estate, insurance, or storm-related — each type gets a tailored inspection protocol.
Exterior Roof Walk
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.
Interior Inspection
Below-deck inspection from the attic. We verify that soffit vents aren't blocked by insulation, ridge vents are continuous, and there's no moisture or mold on the sheathing. Ventilation problems shorten roof life dramatically.
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.
