A quality roof that’s maintained well should serve you for 15 or more years. But all roofs need periodic repairs and, eventually, replacement. If your Grand Island, NY, roof is showing signs of damage, call Felgemacher Roofing & Siding.
We’re a local, family-owned roofing company specializing in roof repairs, roof replacements, and new roof installations across the greater Buffalo, NY, region. We also specialize in roof inspections before starting any work.
Types of Roof Inspections
The most common reason Grand Island, NY, homeowners call us for a roof inspection is because they know (or suspect) that their roofs have sustained some damage.
We also perform emergency roof inspections after storms and fires. In responding to emergency storm damage, our first task is to secure the roof with a heavy tarp against rain, snow, and falling debris.
Finally, we provide roof inspections and free estimates as part of second opinions on roof projects for which you’ve already received a quote.
How We Inspect Roofs
Certain types of roof damage are fairly easy to see – roof rot, a sagging roof, deteriorated shingles – but these signs don’t always tell the whole story. In some cases, visible damage is caused by things you can’t see, and you need to understand them.
When we inspect roofs in Grand Island, NY, and throughout Erie County, NY, we start with the issue that brought us out to the home. Other tasks during a roof inspection can include the following:
- Looking for water leaks in the roof and house
- Assessing the condition of rain gutters and roof flashing
- Inspecting the roof structure, including the decking, underlayment, and truss system
- Identifying signs of roof rot
- Inspecting the condition of the shingles and noting areas where shingles are missing
After we complete the inspection, we’ll share our report with you. You’ll learn what we found, how much damage exists, why it happened, and what to do about it.
Whether you need basic roof repairs or a new roof installation, the Felgemacher crew has the experience, tools, and equipment to do the job right.
Signs to Watch For
Here are six common signs of roof damage and conditions that could lead to roofing problems:
- Missing or deteriorated shingles
- Mold, mildew, and algae growth
- Rotting along the edges of the roof
- Warped, rusted, or unseated roof flashing
- A roof that sags in places
- Evidence of water leaks in the attic or other rooms directly below the roof
