Tom personally inspects the roof as the owner-installed roofer, explains what he finds, and gives you photos plus a written recommendation. No pressure to replace a roof that can be repaired, and no guessing after a Pennsylvania storm.
Whether you are buying a home, checking storm damage, or planning ahead, the inspection covers the roof system details that affect safety, water entry, and remaining service life.
Tom checks shingle condition, missing or lifted areas, cracks, bruising, granule loss, exposed underlayment, roof age clues, and visible wear across the slopes.
Chimneys, skylights, vent boots, pipe penetrations, sidewalls, step flashing, valleys, ridges, and roof edges receive a close look for leak paths and storm damage.
Gutters, downspouts, drainage paths, trapped debris, granule buildup, sagging edges, and overflow clues can reveal problems that a roof-only glance misses.
When accessible, Tom checks attic or interior signs such as damp insulation, staining, musty odors, daylight, condensation, and the likely path of moisture.
Photos make the findings easier to understand and preserve a factual record for your own planning, a buyer or seller, or an insurance discussion.
You receive a plain-language summary of the condition, recommended next step, and whether the roof calls for repair, monitoring, maintenance, or replacement planning.
Tom does not promise insurance coverage or a claim result. He documents what is visible and explains the evidence so you can make an informed decision.
A seasonal check can catch small issues before they become interior water damage. Schedule promptly after a storm, and do not climb onto a wet, icy, or visibly damaged roof yourself.
After winter movement and spring fronts, check for lifted shingles, exposed fasteners, hail bruising, damaged flashing, and new ceiling stains.
Heat accelerates aging while fast thunderstorms bring wind, hail, and branches. An inspection helps separate old wear from fresh storm damage.
Before snow and freeze-up, check valleys, gutters, flashing, attic ventilation clues, and small maintenance issues that could become winter leaks.
Ice dams and heavy snow can force water under shingles. Call if you see interior moisture, and stay off icy roofs while Tom evaluates safe access.
