Roof inspection at Minneapolis Roof Pros starts with a walk around your property. We examine the shingles, looking for granule loss, curling, or cracking. Then we check the flashing around chimneys and vents, the drip edge along the eaves, and the valley where two roof planes meet. We also inspect the fascia and soffit for rot or decay, and we look for signs of water intrusion in your attic, like stains on the sheathing or a damp ridge vent.
Minneapolis weather is hard on roofs. Heavy snowfall and ice dams can wick water up under the shingles, eroding the protective granules and causing the underlayment to peel. Rapid freeze-thaw cycles make small cracks spall and spread. A roof inspection catches these problems early, before water seeps into the plywood or OSB decking and causes rot. We use self-adhered ice-and-water shield in vulnerable areas, and we follow building code for proper ventilation and flashing installation.
After the inspection, you get a written report with photos. We explain what we found, what needs fixing now, and what can wait. If your roof is nearing end-of-life wear, we'll tell you honestly. If it has years left, we'll say that too. No pressure, no scare tactics. Just clear, honest advice from a licensed and insured Minneapolis roofing contractor.
