Free Roof Assessment
Do I Need a Roof Assessment?
There are several reasons you should take advantage of our free roof assessment service. If any of these apply to you, give M.W. Roofing a call and have one of our professional roofers inspect your roof at no cost to you:
- Water in your home where it should not be in the form of leaks or stains
- Your home has been through a major storm
- Purchasing a home
- Renewing your home insurance
- Changing your home insurance carrier
Leaks or Stains
Roof leaks aren’t usually as noticeable in homes as you may think. It’s much more likely that you’ll start to see black stains slowly spreading over the ceiling or walls rather than running about your house filling buckets of water gushing from the ceiling. It’s possible that you have an active roof leak if you notice stains on your ceiling, especially if they are on the top floor. If you notice this in your home, give us a call right away.
Purchasing a new home
If you’ve ever purchased a home, you are aware of how stressful the appraisal and inspection procedures may be. While a house inspection is crucial, it is best to get professional advice if there are serious problems with any of the property’s systems, especially the roof. This can make a difference in whether you choose to continue to purchase or step out of your contract.
Renewing Your Home Insurance Policy or Changing Your Insurance Carrier
Most likely, the insurance company will ask for a roof check if you renew your homeowner’s insurance policy or switch insurance providers. The insurance company will want an accurate, up-to-date assessment of your home’s condition since it will determine how much your premium will be based on its worth and the possibility that you will submit a claim.
The roof is a costly component to replace, but it is essential to maintaining the condition of the rest of the house. Additionally, the bulk of house insurance claims originate from roofs. Your house insurance premium will probably be greater than you had anticipated if your roof requires repair or replacement.
Your Home Has Been Through a Major Storm
After a significant storm, it’s a good idea to get your roof evaluated even if you didn’t lose any trees or have any visible damage. Roof degradation might have small symptoms, and these signs are frequently hidden from view from the ground. Let our professionals inspect your roof for damage; we have the tools, training, and understanding to do it properly.

The Roof Inspection Process
Your roof should be inspected from the inside as well as the outside. We begin by inspecting the ceilings within the home for indications of leaks and water damage. Next, we examine the eaves and roof overhangs for indications of things like termite infestation and wood rot as we go around the property’s perimeter.
Once we get to the outside of the roof, we will look for the following:
- Debris and vegetation on the roof
- Broken shingles or broken tiles
- Rust and further degradation indicators on roof flashing
- Blocked valleys in the roof
- Blocked or damaged gutters
- Cracks or deterioration in pipes, attic vents and fans, plumbing vents, etc.
We will also search for raised overlaps and delaminating roof material if your house has a flat roof, as these are signs of impending roof leaks.
Obtaining a written report of the inspection is crucial, even if roof repair is not required. This information is necessary by your home insurance provider, and it’s wise to have it on file in case you decide to list your property for sale in the future.
