Roof inspections aren't just for obvious leaks. If your roof is over 10 years old, you should have it inspected annually. If you're buying or selling a home in New Kensington, a roof inspection is essential due diligence. If a storm hit your area, an inspection documents damage for insurance claims. New Kensington Roofing & Maintenance handles all three.
We inspect the roof in three stages. First, we walk the entire surface — checking shingles for wear, flashing for gaps, and all penetrations for seal integrity. Second, we examine the perimeter — drip edge, eave condition, gutter attachment, fascia and soffit condition. Third, we go into the attic — checking ventilation, insulation, and looking for moisture, mold, or daylight showing through the roof deck.
Our Roof Inspection Process
Schedule Your Inspection
We'll confirm your inspection date and time. Let us know the purpose — annual maintenance, home sale, insurance claim, or post-storm — so our inspector brings the right checklist and documentation forms.
Surface Inspection
Our inspector walks every section of the roof. Shingles checked for cracking, curling, buckling, missing tabs, and granule loss. All flashing inspected — chimney, pipe boots, vent boots, step flashing, counter-flashing, valleys. Ridge cap and ridge vents examined. Drip edge condition noted.
Below-Deck Assessment
Below-deck inspection from the attic. We verify that soffit vents aren't blocked by insulation, ridge vents are continuous, and there's no moisture or mold on the sheathing. Ventilation problems shorten roof life dramatically.
Report & Recommendations
Detailed inspection report with photos keyed to a roof diagram. Every finding documented with location, severity, and recommended action. Repair cost ranges included so you can budget accurately. Insurance-ready format available.
