Roof Inspection

Shake Pro

When you phone Shakepro for a roof inspection, one of our experienced inspectors will contact you and set up a meeting to ensure you know who you are dealing with and so that we can better customize your options to your needs. We also inspect asphalt roofs for installation and longevity, as well as reroof quotes for full replacement.

What We Are Looking For

:
  • Initial installation defects
  • Proper felt paper installation and overlap
  • Are All Roof vents installed correctly
  • Roof Vent Installation or Removal
  • Are the Skylight & Chimney flashings installed correctly
  • Are all Ventilation Storm Collars sealed properly
  • Is there Proper Felt underlay beneath Ridge Capping
  • Are the shakes installed at the appropriate exposure for their length
  • Do the Low sloping areas have appropriate adhesive membrane underlayment

Current Roof Condition

Then we look for wear & tear defects, such as:

  • Curled shakes that will begin to crack in the near future
  • Shakes that have already cracked and are exposing the underlying felt paper
  • Damaged shakes by exterior elements such as Hail, Wind, Human Traffic, Birds and Squirrels
  • Rotten shakes that will deteriorate and ultimately expose the underlying felt paper
  • Excessive moss or debris build up on the roof that can lead to rotting
  • Damaged roof vents
  • Damaged flashings
  • Moss growth & build up, causing water to over saturate the shakes and lead to wood rot
  • Cracked, curled, or rotten Ridge Capping
  • Any customer noted leak issues, investigate and water test if needed

Roof Summary & Conclusion

After we have thoroughly inspected the entire roof, we will cumulate our findings and generate your report. This report will establish the following:

  • Highlight any major or minor Installation defects.
  • Cumulate & portray the current roof condition.
  • Highlight any leak concern areas and available corrective measures.
  • Identify any Hail or Wind damage accrued and a percentage of the scale.
  • Exhibit photos of trouble areas and email to customer.
  • Summarize findings and calculate the total percentage of roof deterioration.
  • Establish a recommended plan of action for the roof.
  • Estimate the Life expectancy of the roof.
  • Quote to Repair and/or Replace the roof dependant on plan of action and customer request.
