Get A Free Roof Inspection
We are part of the community, and we feel a duty to be of service. One of the ways we can contribute is by providing intensive and regular roof inspections, all at no cost to local homeowners. Roof inspections should be done at least once a year, especially in Utah, where weather can wreak havoc on your roofing. If you’re looking for a free inspection, give us a call.
We know you have reservations about having your roof looked at, but with Legacy Roofing, you have nothing to fear. Besides, it’s better to know any issues that might cause you problems down the road. Addressing roofing issues early is the best way to avoid a large, and unwanted expense.
Free Roof Inspection
Legacy Roofing never employs high-pressure sales tactics to try and gain business. That’s why, if your roof is fine, we will tell you so. However, if there are serious problems that could affect the value of your home, we’ll let you know that as well. We’ll also explain your options, be it insurance repair, or other out of pocket expectations, so you can make an informed decision. Our expert roof inspectors will ensure that your roof is free of problems or dangerous repair issues.
If a repair is needed, you can rest assured you will be receiving the highest materials and craftsmanship available. Legacy Roofing is a GAF certified company. If you own a home, you owe it to yourself to make sure your roof is in tip-top shape. We inspect all of the following during our free inspections:
Shingles
Not only are shingles incredible important to the structure of your roof, they are also the aesthetic element of your home. They come in many different materials and colors, all of which possess different life spans. This can make it tricky to recognize is they are simply aging or are actually damaged. Signs that they may need to be replaced include cracking and curling, or if any of them have fallen off or gone missing.
The Roof Ridge
The roof ridge is where the two planes of the roof meet together, normally creating the large peak in a house. The ridge is a term commonly referring to the support beam that runs along the roof ridge. Upon inspection, the structural integrity of the ridge is looked at, ensuring that it is stable. Many roofs have multiple ridges, as there are multiple peaks.
The Chimney Area
For homeowners with a chimney, it’s important to have them regularly checked, as they could be a fire hazard if not properly cared for. During a free roof inspection, we will examine the chimney, and make sure the flue is clear and there is no buildup of debris. We will also check the roofing around the chimney, and make sure everything is interconnected and sealed.
Valley Flashings:
While the roof ridge is the main connection between two planes on your roof, the valley flashings are also intersections between smaller plans. These are common on dormers or room extensions. It’s important to make sure that these are properly sealed and covered, so that there are no leaks through the seams.
Ice Barriers
Ice barriers are necessary in Utah to prevent water and ice from building up during the winter. These go over the seams where the roof connects, and can often be damaged or torn. A metal flashing sits over the seat, ensuring the best protection. A roof inspection can help to determine if there is any damage to the covering or the metal flashing, as well as how much repairs would cost.
- Vents and exterior ducting: Many people are unaware that the areas around outdoor vents and ductwork can cause problems if they aren’t properly sealed. In addition to letting in unwanted moisture, they could also be affecting the temperature of your home. Hot or cold air, depending on the season, could be escaping through these openings. During our free inspection, we examine all the vents and ducts to ensure that they are properly sealed and installed.
- Gutters and Overhangs: Gutters and overhangs are often in need of repairs, mainly due to the intense weather that Utah experiences. One winter can give your gutters quite the beating. It’s important that your gutters hang correctly—if they are too low or too high, it could result in water damage to the roof or house.
Another common issue we find with gutters is that the original roof installer hung the shingles too far over the gutter, meaning water and debris doesn’t make it into the gutter, and fall off the side. This can cause damage to the side of your house, so it’s important to trim those back.
Don’t hesitate to contact Legacy Roofing for a free roof inspection. Our experts will make sure all aspects of your roof are working together and nothing is damaged. It’s better to have peace of mind than to wait until the damage gets worse. Initial damage is often completely invisible and without interference, could be a costly oversight.
