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. Burnt Hills 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
Appointment Setup
Quick scheduling by phone or online. Most Burnt Hills inspections booked within 3-5 business days. Storm damage inspections prioritized for faster turnaround.
Exterior Roof Walk
Our inspector walks every section of the roof. Shingles checked for cracking, curling, buckling, missing tabs, and granule loss. All flashing inspected — chimney, pipe boots, vent boots, step flashing, counter-flashing, valleys. Ridge cap and ridge vents examined. Drip edge condition noted.
Interior Inspection
We enter the attic to check from below. Soffit vent airflow verified. Ridge vent continuity checked. Insulation levels measured. Roof deck inspected for moisture stains, mold, daylight, or sagging between rafters. This catches problems the surface walk can't see.
Detailed Report
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.
