When should I get a roof inspection?

A roof inspection is a good idea whenever you suspect there might be an issue, or at least once a year. Here are some specific situations where a roof inspection is recommended:

  • After a storm: Severe weather, such as hail, high winds, or heavy rain, can cause damage to your roof.
  • If you notice signs of damage: This includes leaks, sagging, missing shingles, or discoloration.
  • Before buying a new home: A pre-purchase inspection can help you identify potential roofing problems.
  • Annually for maintenance: Regular inspections can help identify and address minor issues before they become major problems.

The sooner you address any roofing issues, the better. Early detection can help prevent costly repairs and protect your home or business.

How often should I have my roof inspected?

It’s recommended to have your roof inspected annually, especially if your roof is older or if you live in an area prone to severe weather. Regular inspections can help identify potential problems early and prevent costly repairs. Even if your roof is relatively new, annual inspections can help ensure it remains in good condition and catch any minor issues before they become major problems.

What are some signs that I need a new roof?

Some common signs that you may need a new roof include:

  • Curling, cracking, or missing shingles
  • Shingle granules in your gutters or yard
  • Water stains on your ceilings or walls
  • Sagging roof deck
  • Leaks after a storm

What types of roofing materials do you offer?

We offer a variety of high-quality roofing materials, including:

  • Asphalt Shingles: Choose from traditional asphalt shingles or impact-resistant options like Class 4 shingles. Class 4 shingles are specifically designed to withstand hail damage and can often qualify for insurance discounts.
  • Metal Roofing: Durable and long-lasting, metal roofing is an excellent choice for both residential and commercial properties.
  • Synthetic Shingles: Durable, Impact-Resistant Roofing in Various Styles. Synthetic shingles contain no asphalt or messy granules. 
  • Waterproofing Membranes: Is your roof partially or fully flat? We’ll help you find the perfect solution tailored to your needs.

We can help you select the best material based on your home’s style, budget, and local climate. Note: While “rubber roof” is a common term, the correct technical term is modified asphalt. These shingles are known for their flexibility, durability, and resistance to extreme weather conditions.

Why is ventilation important for my roofing system?

At On Target Roofing, we understand the importance of proper roof ventilation. Adequate ventilation is crucial for:

  • Preventing moisture buildup: Excessive moisture can lead to mold, rot, and other damage.
  • Maintaining roof health: Proper ventilation helps prolong the lifespan of your roof.
  • Improving energy efficiency: Ventilation can help regulate attic temperatures, reducing heating and cooling costs.

Meeting building code requirements: Ventilation is often a requirement for roofing warranties and building codes.
