Your roof is the most expensive exterior system on your home, and it degrades silently. UV radiation bakes the granule coating off asphalt shingles. Thermal cycling cracks sealant at flashing transitions. Wind lifts shingle edges and loosens ridge cap. Wilmington Roofing & Maintenance's roof inspection catches all of this before it becomes a $15,000 emergency.
Flashing failures cause most roof leaks, not shingle failures. That's why we check every flashing point: chimney flashing (the #1 leak source), step flashing at wall transitions, counter-flashing at masonry, pipe boots at plumbing vents, and vent boots at exhaust penetrations. We check the sealant condition at each and note any gaps, corrosion, or separation.
Our Roof Inspection Process
Schedule Your Inspection
We'll confirm your inspection date and time. Let us know the purpose — annual maintenance, home sale, insurance claim, or post-storm — so our inspector brings the right checklist and documentation forms.
Surface Inspection
Top-to-bottom roof walk. Shingles, flashing, ridge, valleys, eaves, penetrations — every component visually and physically inspected. We don't just look; we press, probe, and lift to find hidden failures.
Attic & Ventilation Check
We enter the attic to check from below. Soffit vent airflow verified. Ridge vent continuity checked. Insulation levels measured. Roof deck inspected for moisture stains, mold, daylight, or sagging between rafters. This catches problems the surface walk can't see.
Detailed Report
You receive a written report with annotated photos within 48 hours. Findings prioritized by urgency: critical (active leaks, failed flashing), moderate (worn shingles, marginal ventilation), and low (cosmetic, long-term maintenance). Repair estimates included.
