Roof Inspection in Plymouth, MI

Roof inspectors look 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 note the damage they find and walk you through any needed repairs.

A roof inspection helps you catch small problems before they grow bigger. When you can see leaks on your ceiling, you may already have much damage.

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

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. Otherwise, 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 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 under 10 years old are usually covered by insurance, but older roofs may be limited. 

Your final step is to get a professional roofer’s opinion and estimate how much the repair or replacement will cost. If your roof professional says repairs will save the insurance company in the long run, they will likely help pay. Storm Guard will help you file your claim and start the repair process.
