What Happens During a Professional Roof Inspection?

Whether you're buying a home, suspect storm damage, or just being proactive, a professional roof inspection gives you a clear, documented picture of your roof's health. Here's exactly what happens during a Weaver Construction inspection and why each step matters.

Step 1: Exterior and Ground-Level Review

We start by walking the property, noting the roof's age, pitch, and type, and looking for obvious issues — missing or lifted shingles, sagging lines, debris, and damage to gutters, fascia, and soffit visible from the ground.

Step 2: On-Roof Inspection

We get on the roof to examine the surface up close: shingle condition, granule loss, hail bruising, cracked or curling shingles, and the wear pattern. Flat or low-slope sections are checked for ponding, seams, and membrane condition.

Step 3: Flashing and Penetrations

Most leaks start at transitions, not the open field of the roof. We inspect flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents, and walls, plus pipe boots and valleys — the usual suspects for water intrusion.

Step 4: Ventilation and Attic Check

Proper intake and exhaust ventilation is critical in Colorado. When accessible, we check the attic for moisture, daylight, staining, and insulation issues that signal hidden leaks or ventilation problems.

Step 5: Detailed Documentation

Everything is photographed and compiled into a clear report. After a storm, this documentation is exactly what your insurance adjuster needs to approve a fair claim.

Step 6: Honest Recommendations

We walk you through what we found and give you straight options — repair, replace, or monitor. We never manufacture damage or push work you don't need. Learn more about our roof inspection service.
