  • What to Do Before Scheduling a Roof Inspection

    In the Pacific Northwest, roof damage can develop quietly. Persistent rain, wind, and dense foliage often conceal early warning signs. Homeowners preparing for a professional roof inspection can improve the outcome by conducting a brief visual check of their own beforehand.

    Simple observations made from the ground can provide critical context during a roofing inspection.

    Start by walking the perimeter of your home. Look for missing or shifted shingles, especially after a windstorm. Sagging or overflowing gutters may indicate drainage problems that can compromise the roof’s edge or soffit when left unresolved. Note any tree limbs resting on the roof surface, as this can accelerate wear or create pathways for moisture and/or pests.

    Even if you are not certain what you are seeing, making a list of observations helps guide the inspection process. Professionals rely not only on what they find visually but also on context, such as recent weather events or homeowner concerns. Sharing these notes at the start of the visit ensures that time is spent efficiently and that specific areas of concern receive focused attention.

    This approach is particularly useful after a storm, when damage may not be immediately visible from the street. Loose flashing, punctured shingles, or hidden leaks often originate from events that seem minor at first glance. A homeowner who tracks small changes over time contributes valuable information that can lead to more accurate assessments and timely repairs.

    While a full evaluation should always be left to a licensed roofing professional, early documentation by the homeowner plays a supporting role in safeguarding the structure. The most effective inspections begin with informed preparation.
