How to Roof Inspection (Ground Level)

Your roof protects everything beneath it, and catching problems early—a few missing shingles, lifted flashing, or granule loss—can mean the difference between a $200 repair and a $20,000 roof replacement. This safe ground-level inspection uses binoculars to check your roof surface for damage, missing or curling shingles, and potential trouble spots around chimneys, vents, and valleys. You'll also check gutters for excessive granules (a sign of aging shingles) and peek in the attic for daylight or water stains. Regular monitoring helps you spot developing problems before leaks damage your home's interior.
