Book Your Inspection

If you own your home, it’s essential to stay on top of regular maintenance to protect your investment. There’s perhaps no more important part of your home to keep in excellent condition than your roof. When you engage with regular upkeep of your roof, you can make sure you don’t suffer from structural damage that can compromise the integrity of your home. But because a roof can be so challenging to see from the naked eye, it’s important to schedule regular roof inspections.

When To Schedule Your Roof Inspection

Before you hire a professional roof contractor to inspect your roof, you’ll want to be on the lookout for any wind or storm damage. If you notice any loose, missing, or curling shingles on an asphalt roof, there could be more that are out of your sightline. You’ll also want to keep your eyes on stains, rust, or missing fasteners.

Another important place to look is in your gutters. Sometimes materials detaching from your roof end up in the gutters, which signals that your roof may need a roof repair.

You will also want to keep an eye on your ceilings and walls, especially in the corners. Even if they appear to be minor from your living room, leaks and cracks could indicate more severe damage underneath or to your roof. If that’s something you’ve noticed, you’ll want to call the professionals right away.

Finally, if there has been a significant storm in your area and you haven’t done a regular check of your roof or gutters, you should consider hiring a professional right away. Storms can do a number on your roof in ways that can be difficult to guess ahead of time. At Bartlett Roofing, we offer free residential roofing inspections to clients in all our service areas, including Idaho, Utah, Montana, Nevada, and Washington.

The Parts of a Quality Roof Inspection

When you hire professionals to complete your roof inspection, you want to ensure that everything you need for a safe roof is included. Otherwise, your assessment could be incomplete. The four parts of a quality inspection below will ensure that you don’t have any issues in association with your roof. Once the professionals have completed your inspection, they should offer you a detailed analysis of each part of the roof they inspected and what they found there.

The four parts of a good inspection include:

  • Structural Inspection
  • Material Inspection
  • Interior Inspection
  • Workmanship Inspection

 

Things to Look Out for During the Inspection

When your roof is being inspected, you’ll want to make sure that it’s thorough and no parts of your home are overlooked. The first place your roof inspector should inspect is the ventilation system in your attic. Having space for air to travel in and out of your home is essential to maintaining air quality and preventing mold in your roof.

The inspection must include the parts of your roof opened by a chimney, satellite, or other devices, as well as any skylights. These are vulnerable areas on your roof that require roof repairs over time. This is why a professional roof inspection is so important–it can ensure that you pay attention to the details you might overlook otherwise, which can make the difference between roof repair and a roof replacement.

Pay Attention to the Details

One of the most important aspects of a roof inspection is that you have professional eyes on your roof that notice things your eye is not trained to notice. When performing your inspection, make sure they look at every roof surface and go on top of the roof to make sure that the surface is holding weight appropriately.

When you hire a roof inspector, don’t be afraid to ask questions and dig into the details of their inspection plans. It’s worth it to be clear about what they’re planning to look at so you can be confident that nothing is left out.

At Bartlett Roofing, we have a team that understands how important it is to be focused and professional on every job. Our team will notice any issues with roof flashing, gutters, shingles, and roof vents right away. We will then give you a detailed analysis of the overall condition of your home so you can make an informed decision about what will make the most sense for your home moving forward.

​If you schedule regular roof inspections and stay on top of any issues discovered, you will be making an incredible investment into the overall durability of your home. At Bartlett Roofing, we are committed to fantastic customer service and want to make sure all of our clients have a high-quality roof that will be able to weather any storm.

Bartlett Roofing is a fantastic business to work with. Our first impression was with Alexander Lyons, who was very professional and helpful all the way through the roof repair process. He was very kind and we could always contact him if we had any questions. The office was great also. Both Alexander and the main office were easy to reach and very thorough in their communication. I highly recommend them.

I'm a Realtor here in the valley, so I see a lot of roof replacements and repairs. After my experience with Bartlett, I can definitively say they're the best in the Treasure Valley, hands down. Bartlett roofing did a fantastic job with my roof installation. Huge shout out to Scott who helped navigate the entire process which was very daunting dealing with my insurance company. They did exactly what they said they were going to do, on time, with the best roofing material I've seen. If you're looking for an amazing roofing company, I highly recommend Bartlett.

Garrett with Bartlett Roofing was great to work with and my overall experience with Bartlett Roofing was excellent. Garrett took all the guesswork out of my roof repair due to wind damage. On his initial inspection he clearly indicated where it was obvious a high wind event had removed many shingles and cracked a bunch more, taking pictures and documenting the damage, then was able to meet my insurance adjuster on site to review the damage and establish the claim. The roofing work was scheduled, completed in a timely fashion, and was done to a high quality standard. From start to finish, I give this company high marks and I now have a roof that will not lead to leaks and worse insurance claims down the road. Thank you, Garrett, and Bartlett Roofing!

Our roof was badly damaged from a windstorm. Adam inspected our roof, helped us to submit our claim and had our roof replaced in no time. He made the process simple and stress free. The quality of work is amazing. They had the old roof off and the new one installed in one day! The crew also did a fantastic job of cleaning up when they were done. We always hear people complaining about finding nails everywhere after having their roof replaced. We did not have that experience. I will recommend them to anyone who needs their roof replaced or repaired.

I recently had my entire roof replaced by Bartlett Roofing. Thomas and Suzy were awesome to work with. They answered every question we had and kept us informed on both our insurance claims and out of pocket expenses along the way so there were no surprises! The installers were fast, professional and very respectful! They finished our entire roof in a day and my property was left cleaner than when they arrived! I cannot say enough good things about Bartlett Roofing and the staff they have working for them! If you need a roof replaced, repaired or inspected, Bartlett Roofing is who you should call every time!

We have been trying to get our insurance to cover our outdated roof for 2 years now. We have had 3 different roofers try. Like the other Bartlett was told no. However, Joe didn't take that as a final answer. He kept submitting reports of the damage and finally was able to get a yes from our insurance. We picked out our roof color easily. Suzie in scheduling worked with us after we had to change our installation date a few times. On the day of installation the team was on the time and work quickly to complete our roof. After they were done, Joe came out to make sure everything was good. After that another inspector came out (Lake, I believe his name was). The whole experience was professional but personal. They did a great job. Thank you Bartlett Team!

Jake with Bartlett Roofing was great! He was informative and transparent about the whole process. Everything was so simple and went exactly as Jake said it would. There were no surprises and installation took only one day. The crew did an amazing job and we couldn't be happier with our new roof.
