Roof Inspection & Certification Services

Understanding the Need for Regular Roof Inspections

Many homeowners tend to overlook the necessity of regular roof inspections, usually seeking them only after an incident of hail or severe wind damage. At Hilltop Roofing & Construction (HRC), we advocate for the routine inspection and maintenance of your roof at least every two years. It’s also advisable to have a professional roofing inspection on any property you’re considering purchasing, in addition to the standard home inspection. With a growing trend of insurance companies requiring a Roof Certification for policy renewal or issuance, the value of a comprehensive roof inspection cannot be overstated.

What Does HRC Inspect For?

Our inspections at HRC are thorough and detailed, covering more than just the obvious signs of storm damage. We evaluate debris buildup, surface deterioration, the condition of sealants, and potential issues with siding, fascia, and trim boards. Gutter blockages, poor ventilation, and inadequate insulation are also on our checklist. Importantly, we assess water drainage beyond the roof, which, if not properly managed, can lead to foundation issues. Our approach considers all exterior aspects of your property to provide a comprehensive understanding of your roof’s condition.

Roof Certifications Explained

A Roof Certification from HRC is a detailed report specifying the material type, age, and condition of a roof. These certifications are often essential for homeowners required by their insurance carrier or mortgage lender to verify the condition of the roof. They are also invaluable for sellers needing to affirm the roof’s health in real estate transactions. Our certification process is thorough, ensuring property owners have a substantial document to support the reliability of their roofing system.

The Reality Behind “Free Inspections”

The concept of “free” inspections is widespread; however, these can often prove to be less thorough than homeowners may need. A detailed inspection report, which can be a critical tool for insurance renewals or damage claims, involves significant time both on-site and in the office for composition. At HRC, while we may provide no-cost estimates under certain conditions, our comprehensive inspection and certification reports are in-depth analyses that take several hours to compile. Recognizing the value of this service, we credit the cost of any report towards a full roof replacement, repair, or maintenance plan, ensuring homeowners see the benefit of their investment.
