We thoroughly assess roof age markers, missing or damaged shingle tabs, and shingle deterioration along eaves and within gutters. In the interior, we examine sagging deck materials, anchor point concerns, and moisture indicators suggesting ventilation or flashing issues. Roof openings - from vents to chimneys and skylights - are assessed for flashing system quality and sealant durability. We assess weak spots, assess runoff routes, and confirm correct placement of drip edge, underlayment, and ice barriers where needed.
You are provided with a photographic assessment outlining defects, priority repairs, structural considerations, and permitting triggers, facilitating a precise, compliant replacement plan.
Materials Planning and Selection
