Reliable Roof Inspections In Eastern Colorado and Colorado Springs
You may need a roof inspection when purchasing a house or seeking a new homeowners insurance policy. While a roof inspection might seem like a minor detail to many, it holds significant weight in the eyes of insurance companies.
A well-maintained roof can significantly influence the approval of an insurance policy, as insurers assess the roof's condition to evaluate potential risks. In contrast, an older or poorly maintained roof may lead to policy denial or higher premiums, making the inspection a critical step in home buying and insurance.
DIY Inspection VS. Hiring a Professional
When it comes to DIY roof inspections, you may be able to identify apparent issues by observing your roof from the ground, such as curling or missing shingles and clogged gutters.
If your roof is relatively new—under five years old—you might manage regular inspections yourself by inspecting the roofline from the ground and checking the attic for any signs of leaks. However, for roofs older than five years, enlisting a professional is your best bet.
A certified master inspector can conduct a thorough examination by physically accessing the roof, allowing them to detect issues like granule loss or problems with flashing and chimneys that an untrained eye might miss. Performing your inspection can also pose safety risks if you're unfamiliar with proper procedures.

A professional inspector brings specialized tools and knowledge that enhance the accuracy of the assessment. They can use advanced techniques, such as infrared imaging, to identify hidden moisture or heat loss that could compromise your roof's integrity. Their comprehensive report will not only highlight current issues but also provide recommendations for necessary repairs or maintenance to extend the lifespan of your roof, offering you peace of mind and protection for your home.
When to Schedule a Roof Inspection
A thorough inspection must be conducted before the repair, replacement or installation of any roofing system can be successfully initiated. Without investigating the history of a home or a building’s roofing system, critical conditions could go unnoticed, unreported, and consequently not fixed.
At PineBreeze Inspections, we spare no expense in the assessments we conduct when inspecting a potential project's roofing system.
Thorough in our inspection and meticulous in our approach, we cover all the bases when inspecting the roofing system of a residential home or commercial building. We can ensure our customers that nothing has been overlooked or unexplained before we prescribe the appropriate action for moving forward.
In our assessment of your roofing system, we will be looking for particular circumstances that could alert us to potential issues that need to be addressed before or during the repair/replacement of your roof.
Inspections Look To Identify:
- The approximate life expectancy of your roof
- The overall performance of your roof
- The issues that could be encountered upon installation
- The repairs that will be necessary before moving forward
- The conditions that will be required to maintain your roof
- The possible need for total replacement of your roof
If you sustain storm damage, you don’t have much choice when you schedule your roof inspection. You need it done fast, and you need it done right. Outside of this situation, there are some strategies for scheduling your roof inspection.
Our professionals know that timing is critical when it comes to roof inspections. If your roof inspection reveals some needed repairs but is too close to winter and cold weather, you will likely have to wait until Spring to complete that work. Frigid temperatures are unsafe for roofers and can affect how well the roofing material is installed, so it’s best to avoid winter altogether.
Our roof inspections look for the following:
- Missing, broken, or torn shingles
- Worn-away shingle granules
- Cracked or missing caulk
- Rusted or missing flashing
- Rotted or torn rubber boots around pipes
- Wood rot or sagging areas
- Cracks in the chimney or missing caps
- Gutters that aren’t securely attached
- Chimney Crowns
