Roof Inspections

Roof Inspection

Thoroughly inspects the surface, layers, and even ceilings to try and identify if there are any places where the integrity of your roof may be compromised, or in big trouble.

Leaks can be prevented! Our roof inspection includes leak detection, and investigative tactics to spot potential roof leaks that could form in the future.

Much more comprehensive than an estimate, you will receive a comprehensive report.

Estimate

There is a BIG difference between a Seco Roofing estimate and most other roofing company estimates in the East Valley.

While our estimates are visual, we take the time to carefully assess the roof at four different levels.

1. Size and angles of the roof surface
2. Visual damage and wear
3. The condition of the underlayment
4. Signs of proper roof maintenance and/or roof repairs

How is a Roof Inspection Different Than a Home Inspection?

Most property owners are unaware that there is a HUGE difference in a home inspection and a roof inspection. Without this information, most people fall under the assumption that if the roof passed during the home inspection, that they might have nothing to worry about. Here are the reasons why you should add a roof inspection to complete your home inspection:

Roof Inspection:

Provides peace of mind knowing the the roof system, as a whole, has been inspected and you can rest knowing there won’t be any hidden surprises.

• Checks under the tiles and or shingles to assess the condition of all elements that make up your roof system.
• In our fill comprehensive report, you will receive photos and special notes regarding many factors that, by law, a home inspector cannot assess:
  • Age and condition of underlayment material
  • Condition of plywood.
  • Extensive review where two roof slopes meet. (Also known as joints and valleys)
  • Condition of attic space and insulation.
• This inspection is Honored by your home insurance company

Home Inspection:

Gives you a general idea of what concerns can be seen with a visual inspection.

Home inspectors, by law are not allowed to look under tiles, shingles, or other types of materials pertaining to any surface on your roof. This means that if there is something covering anything, during an inspection, they cannot remove it.

Will not hold “proof” if Roof system fails and insurance company asks for the inspection, or orders their own.

_{(TIP for BUYERS: this means that if something is laying over significant damage, they, by law, cannot lift it up and will not include it on the report. Some buyers have been duped by this, only to learn that the cardboard or towel in the photo, was actually “accidentally” covering a major repair. This applies to roofs as well. If there is debris collected in an area on your roof, they can only note the debris, they cannot look to see the damage that might be caused because of it. )}
