10 Point Annual Roof Inspection

Importance of Annual Roof Inspections

It is vital to have your roof inspected every year. Some insurance companies mandate 2 inspections per year to maintain their policy on your residence. Colorado is known for extreme weather conditions including hail storms, high speed winds, scorching summers, and freezing winters. These conditions will impact on the lifespan of the exterior of your home and are preventable with regular inspections and cyclical maintenance.

The best times for an inspection are Spring, Fall, and after a major hailstorm in Colorado thats between Aril and September. When choosing Roofing & Renovations Concierge, you get a detailed inspection of your whole property instead of just a roof inspection. We use drones as well as physically walk the roof. There are always areas that we can't get to and having proof with photos ensures that insurance will cover all the damage.

Ten Point - Residential Roof and Storm Damage Inspection Checklist

1. Roof

All facets of the roof will be inspected. It's not just a roof; it's a whole roof system. From decking, underlayment, ventilation system, flashing, and code requirements, every portion of the roofing system plays a vital role in protecting your home. We will identify and document any issues with the roof.

2. Gutters

We inspect the gutters for storm damage such as dings, tears, and excessive wear as well as drainage issues. Clogged and slow flow gutters can lead to roof leaks, rotted siding, and foundation issues usually at the corners of your residence.

3. Siding

Inspect for any hail hits, pocks, or holes to the house siding. Hits to the siding can allow water penetration which will rot and weaken the siding.

4. Windows

Inspect windows and their casings for fractures and holes, glass cracks and chips, and screens for hail damage.

5. Garage Doors

Inspect for any storm damage to the garage door such as dents, pocks and scrapes.

6. Fence

Inspect for any damage to the fence such as polka-dotting, stain removal, and cracked wood.

7. Other Perils

Inspect sheds, detached garage, and any other structures for damage such as interior drywall near the roof’s perimeter for softness and water stains which means leaks and potential mold.

8. Attic

The attic can tell us a lot about your roof. We will inspect the decking of your roof, look for leaks, moisture buildup, mold, and poor ventilation issues.

9. Personal property

Your personal property is covered as well under insurance. We inspect it all for you. BBQ grills, patio, deck, outdoor furniture, solar lights, garden decorations, etc.

10. Solar Panels

Inspect panels for any damage caused by the storm, ensuring you are getting energy savings from your system.
