Roof Inspections in Louisville, KY

Roof Inspections · Louisville, KY

Know where your roof stands before it leaks

A roof inspection tells you where your roof stands before a small problem turns into a leak. Wear often shows on a roof well before water comes through a ceiling. Some of it shows from the yard, and some only shows up close. We look over the roof and tell you plainly what we see.

Dillon Roofing and Remodeling does roof inspections for homeowners in Louisville and the surrounding counties. When an inspection turns up a problem, we put the quote for the fix in writing. That might be roof repair on one worn section. Call or text (502) 817-7791 to schedule a roof inspection.

What does a roof inspection look at?

A roof inspection starts with the shingles. The national roofing trade association names curling and splitting as signs of wear on asphalt shingles. A missing or loose tab leaves an opening for water.

Then come the seams and the low spots. Flashing seals the seams where the roof meets a chimney or a wall. Leaves pile up in valleys and gutters, and that slows the water draining off. Pipes and vents that pass through the roof get a close look too.

Inside, a stain on a ceiling can mean water is getting in somewhere above it. The opening is not always right above the stain. Finding where it enters is the first step in roof leak repair.

When to schedule a roof inspection in Louisville

In Louisville, the freeze dates make spring and fall good times for a routine roof inspection. NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals put the city's typical last spring freeze around March 31. The typical first fall freeze comes around November 7.

A spring inspection after the last freeze shows what winter did to the roof. A fall inspection ahead of the first freeze can find problems before cold weather sets in. Hail or high wind is a reason for one more inspection, whatever the month.

Age matters too. Census estimates show nearly half of Jefferson County's housing was built before 1970. On an older home, a roof inspection shows how the roof and its flashing are holding up. We do roof inspections across Jefferson County and in the towns we serve in Bullitt and Oldham Counties.

Repair or replace after a roof inspection

When a roof inspection finds a problem, it usually points one of two ways. Damage in one area, like a few torn shingles or loose flashing, can often be repaired. Wear that shows on every slope usually means the roof is near the end of its life.

We tell you which of those fits your roof, and why. A repair, or a roof replacement in Louisville, gets a written quote before any work starts. If the roof is in good shape, we say that too.

A sound roof still needs its spring and fall inspections. That way a small problem gets caught while it is still small.

FAQ

Roof Inspections Questions, Answered

Common questions about roof inspections around Louisville and the surrounding counties. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (502) 817-7791

How often should a roof be inspected?
The national roofing trade association recommends an inspection at least twice a year, in spring and fall. The routine look can happen from the ground. Call in a roofer when something seems wrong, or when the roof is getting older.
Is a roof inspection worth it if my roof is not leaking?
Yes. The national roofing trade association says routine inspections catch problems early, while they are still easy to fix. They can also show where a leak may start before any water gets inside.
Should I get a roof inspection after a hailstorm?
Yes. The national roofing trade association suggests an inspection after severe weather, hail included. When a storm has done damage, it advises having a roofer inspect as soon as you can. Look from the ground and stay off the roof, then call or text (502) 817-7791.
Is a roof inspection the same as a home inspection?
No. A home inspection covers the whole house, and the roof is one part of it. A roof inspection looks only at the roof and the parts that carry water off it. If a home inspection flags the roof, a roof inspection gives you a closer read.
How much does a roof inspection cost?
It depends on the roof. A large or steep roof takes longer to inspect than a small, simple one. Call or text (502) 817-7791 and tell us about your roof. Any repair or replacement it needs gets a written quote before work starts.
What are the signs that a roof needs an inspection?
Outside, look for curled or missing shingles. Inside, look for a stain on a ceiling or a damp spot in the attic. Our guide walks through the warning signs to watch for.
