Roof Inspections

860.599.1024

A roof inspection will help uncover the types of damage that may have occurred to your roof over time. It’s important to note that each type of damage can vary in severity. Here are some details on the various types of damage that a roof inspection may uncover, including potential causes and consequences:

Shingles that are missing or damaged: Missing or damaged shingles are a typical problem that can lead to leaks and water damage. Wind, hail, and other extreme weather conditions can all cause this type of damage. If left neglected, shingles can weaken the integrity of the roof and lead to more significant complications.

Water damage and leaks: Leaks can occur due to a variety of issues, including damaged or missing shingles, insufficient flashing, clogged gutters, or problems with the roof’s ventilation system. Water damage, if left untreated, can lead to mold growth, rot, and structural damage.

Roof punctures: Punctures in the roof can be caused by a variety of factors, including falling branches, hail, or foot traffic. If left unaddressed, roof punctures can lead to leaks and compromise the structural integrity of the roof.

Animals: Squirrels or raccoons can cause moderate damage to the roof by chewing on the shingles, making holes in the roof, or nesting in the attic. This type of damage can result in leaks, structural damage, and other complications.

Improper installation: Unsuitable roofing material, installation, or inadequate ventilation, can cause a variety of problems including leaks, mold growth, or premature aging of the roof.

After getting three estimates I went with Pawcatuck Roofing. The price was good and the experience good as well! They arrived on the scheduled day despite an intervening day of rain. I enjoyed talking with the crew, who worked hard and efficiently. Cleanup was thorough and the roof looks (and works!) great. Thank you to Pawcatuck Roofing. I left your sign in my yard, as I'm happy to recommend you.
