Roof Inspection in Arvada, CO

Roof inspectors are looking for damage to your roof and anything that may cause future damage. This includes roof leaks, broken shingles, cracked sealant, moss, debris, standing water, and broken flashing.

A thorough roof inspection will take place on the ground, on the roof, and in your attic if there is an access point. The roof inspector will take notes on the damage they find and walk you through any needed repairs.

A roof inspection helps you catch small problems before they become big. By the time you can see leaks on your ceiling, chances are you already have a large amount of damage.

An annual roof inspection is ideal. Some professionals recommend as often as once a year, but if your roof is under 5 years old and hasn’t been exposed to extreme weather, you can do it less frequently.

This depends entirely on negotiations but, typically, the seller will pay for roof repairs or negotiate the price.

First, check your policy. If the reason you want a new roof is not covered then you may be on your own. If not, then odds are you can work with your insurance company to pay for some if not all of the new roof. Be sure to document the damage in writing and in pictures. Pictures help make your situation clear, especially photos with timestamps. The more evidence you have, the better. Also, check the age of your roof. Roofs less than 10 years old are usually covered by insurance, but older roofs may have limitations. Your final step is to get a professional opinion and an estimate on how much the repair or replacement will cost. If your roof professional says repairs will save the insurance company in the long run, they’re more likely to help pay. Storm Guard will help you file your claim and get the repair process started.
