Why Is A Roofing Inspection Important?
Our inspections go beyond a cursory check
A properly installed and maintained roof is essential for protecting your home and ensuring the safety and comfort of everyone inside. We understand that uncertainty about compliance and hidden issues can cause anxiety and concern. We provide detailed reports that compare your roofing installation to these rigorous standards, uncovering hidden compliance issues that might not be immediately visible.
While other inspectors might bypass post-handover checks due to safety challenges, we’re equipped to handle them with advanced techniques like drone inspections and harness setups. This allows us to access even the most challenging areas with precision, ensuring the long-term durability and reliability of your roof. With our team’s combined 106+ years of technical expertise, we thoroughly address any uncertainties you may have about compliance, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation that leaves no aspect of your roof unchecked.
