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 Sikes, a roof inspection is essential due diligence. If a storm hit your area, an inspection documents damage for insurance claims. Sikes 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
Schedule Your Inspection
We'll confirm your inspection date and time. Let us know the purpose — annual maintenance, home sale, insurance claim, or post-storm — so our inspector brings the right checklist and documentation forms.
Rooftop Assessment
Our inspector walks every section of the roof. Shingles checked for cracking, curling, buckling, missing tabs, and granule loss. All flashing inspected — chimney, pipe boots, vent boots, step flashing, counter-flashing, valleys. Ridge cap and ridge vents examined. Drip edge condition noted.
Below-Deck Assessment
We enter the attic to check from below. Soffit vent airflow verified. Ridge vent continuity checked. Insulation levels measured. Roof deck inspected for moisture stains, mold, daylight, or sagging between rafters. This catches problems the surface walk can't see.
Detailed Report
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.
