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. Laytonville Roofing & Maintenance's roof inspection catches all of this before it becomes a $15,000 emergency.
Attic inspection is the part most roofers skip. We check your soffit vents, ridge vents, and attic fan operation to verify balanced ventilation. Poor ventilation causes heat buildup that bakes shingles from underneath and ice dams in cold weather. We also check insulation levels and look for moisture, mold, or compressed batts that reduce R-value.
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.
Exterior Roof Walk
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
Below-deck inspection from the attic. We verify that soffit vents aren't blocked by insulation, ridge vents are continuous, and there's no moisture or mold on the sheathing. Ventilation problems shorten roof life dramatically.
Findings Delivered
Your roof inspection report delivered within 48 hours. Prioritized findings, annotated photos, and repair recommendations. We walk you through the report by phone or in person if you prefer.
