Roof Inspection & Maintenance

Small Problems Become Big Expenses

Most major roof damage starts with something small. A loose shingle here, a tiny crack in the flashing there. These little issues don't seem like much at first, but they let water in. Once water gets under your roof, it causes rot, mold, and structural damage that costs thousands to fix.

That's why regular roof inspections are so important. At GWB Chelsea Roofing, we find these small problems before they turn into expensive repairs. Our thorough inspections catch issues early when they're still cheap and easy to fix. Think of it as preventive care for your roof, just like regular checkups for your health.

What We Check During Your Inspection

Our inspection covers every part of your roof system, not just the shingles you can see from the ground. Here's what we look at:

• •Shingles or roofing material for cracks, curling, missing pieces, or wear
• •Flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof edges where leaks commonly start
• •Gutters and downspouts for blockages, damage, or improper drainage
• •Roof structure for sagging, soft spots, or signs of water damage
• •Attic ventilation to ensure proper airflow and prevent moisture buildup
• •Interior ceiling and walls for water stains or signs of leaks

After the inspection, we give you a detailed report with photos showing exactly what we found. If there are problems, we'll explain what needs to be done and why. No pressure, no sales pitch, just honest information so you can make the right decision.

Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Your roof is constantly exposed to weather. Sun, rain, snow, wind, and temperature changes all take their toll over time. Regular maintenance helps your roof handle these challenges and last longer.

Save Money Long Term

Fixing a small leak costs a few hundred dollars. Replacing a water-damaged roof deck costs thousands. Regular inspections and maintenance catch problems when repairs are still affordable.

Extend Your Roof's Life

A well-maintained roof can last years longer than one that's neglected. Simple tasks like cleaning gutters, replacing damaged shingles, and sealing small cracks add years to your roof's lifespan.

Maintain Your Warranty

Many roofing warranties require regular inspections and maintenance. Missing these requirements could void your warranty when you need it most. We keep records of all inspections and maintenance so you stay in compliance.

When Should You Schedule an Inspection?

We recommend scheduling a professional roof inspection at least once a year. Spring is a good time because it lets us assess any damage from winter storms. Fall inspections help prepare your roof for the cold months ahead.

You should also get your roof inspected after major storms, before buying or selling a home, and if you notice any signs of damage like missing shingles or water stains. Chelsea's weather can be tough on roofs, so staying ahead of problems is important. Need help with roof repairs or gutter services? We handle those too.
