A Scottsdale roof inspection looks for what heat has done before the rain finds it. We check tile and the underlayment beneath it, shingles, foam coating, seams, flashing and scuppers. Spring, before the monsoon, and autumn, after it, are the best times. You get photos and a plain answer.
A roof inspection in Scottsdale is mostly about finding what the sun has done before the rain finds it. We offer free roof inspections with photos and a written quote. On a tile roof we look for cracked, slipped and missing tiles, and we lift tiles at the eaves, valleys and penetrations to check the underlayment, because that layer is what keeps water out. On a shingle roof we look at granule loss, cracking, lifted tabs and exposed nails.
Flat roofs get a different checklist. On a foam roof we look for worn or missing coating, bird pecks, blisters and bare foam that has turned orange in the sun. On membrane roofs we check seams, flashing at the parapet walls and the seals around every pipe and air conditioning curb. We look for stains that show where water ponds, and we make sure scuppers and drains are clear. Inside, we check ceilings and, where there is one, the attic.
The best times for an inspection here are spring, before the monsoon, and autumn, after it. It also makes sense before you buy or sell a house, after a storm with strong wind or hail, and before solar panels go on. You get photos of what we found and a plain answer: nothing needed, a repair, or a replacement to plan for. For a sale, ask your agent what kind of written report the buyer or lender wants.
Roof inspections in Scottsdale: common questions
Do you walk on tile roofs to inspect them?
We inspect tile carefully, because careless foot traffic breaks it. Where a roof should not be walked, we inspect from the edges and use photos.
How long does an inspection take?
It depends on the size and type of roof. A simple house roof is quicker than a large flat commercial roof with a lot of equipment on it.
Will you tell me if nothing is wrong?
Yes. If the roof is in good shape we say so and show you the photos. An inspection is not a sales visit.
