Long Island Roof Inspection

Solid City ROOF INSPECTION

Several situations precipitate the need for a roof inspection by a professionally licensed New York State Home Inspection Company. All too often, performance of the roof is taken for granted and forgotten about until it starts to fail. But if you are not evaluating your roof at least once a year, you risk prematurely devaluing one of your biggest assets. Ask us to perform a roof evaluation if you:

• Suspect or confirm leaks
• Need hard numbers to plan for future roof repairs or replacement
• Want a third party opinion of roof condition
• Need to keep in compliance with an existing warranty
• Want to start a preventative maintenance program

Roof inspections should only be carried out by a licensed professional equipped with a thermal imaging camera . A leak is usually a sign of multiple problems that have existed for a long time time so early detection can save a significant  amount of time and money.
