Your Spring Residential Roofing Checklist

With the arrival of warmer temperatures and the snow melting off our homes, the opportunity for preventative maintenance presents itself. The changes in weather, temperature and humidity over the seasons will have ranging effects on your entire roofing system, from subtle to extreme. The best option is to have a properly trained and experienced roofer come out to your residence for an inspection, which should cover all of the following:
Exterior Checklist
bare spots
noticable granule loss
missing or loose shingles
exposed or rotten plywood
curling, buckling, or clawing shingles
chimney damage
missing or damaged metal flashing
rotten or damaged fascia boards
bulging or sagging of roof deck
proper ventilation
damaged or clogged eavestroughs
missing or damaged downspouts
damaged or missing siding or soffit
Interior Checklist
leaks around vents or chimney
any light visible from inside attic
sagging or rotten plywood
mould accumulation
water spots on drywall
water coming in through tops of windows
If any of these conditions exist it is important to contact an experienced roofer to assess what action should be taken. Most roofing repairs are relatively inexpensive when caught early, but if left unchecked can turn into a much more expensive problem.
