Why Roofers Owe It To You To Do A Final Inspection

Wes DurhamNews

Perhaps there is nothing more frustrating to a homeowner than getting a brand new roof with all the bells and whistles only to find something wrong with it a day or two later. Has this ever happened to you?

You hired what you thought was a meticulous roofing company, but then:

  • There’s a leak in one of the bedrooms after a basic summer shower
  • You can see shards of old shingles clogging your gutters from an upstairs window
  • Some of the new shingles or flashing look like they weren’t installed properly
  • You find several handfuls of roofing nails in the grass – luckily before your child steps on one

These issues and more should have been caught, repaired, or cleaned up by the roofer before leaving the job site. Mistakes happen, but now you’re stuck having to get the roofer to come back. It’s not an ideal situation for you or the roofer, whose reputation is forever tainted by the perception of having done shoddy work.

A final inspection is a critical piece to any construction project

A likely reason for the issues mentioned above is that many roofing professionals place more emphasis on providing free initial inspections to potential residential and commercial customers. It makes sense because ultimately they want to earn your trust and win the job quickly. But they don’t double-check their work when the job is complete.

Not only does ANNSTAR Roofing & Construction provide free inspections before you choose to hire us, but we also do a comprehensive, 360-degree final inspection to guarantee our work is up to code and exceeds your expectations.

The last thing we want as a roofing professional is to complete a job only to have the client call us back out because something is wrong. We will get back up on your roof and check the following:

  • That all shingles have been installed correctly
  • All drip edging, leak barriers, flashing, and soft metals look good
  • Gutters are secure and free of unwanted debris
  • That there is no unwanted light coming through in your attic
  • Review anything included in the scope of the project (garage doors, windows, painting, window screens, etc.)
  • The rest of the interior meets expectations
  • That all leftover material has been secured or removed

We’ve worked on hundreds of roofs and various other construction projects, and we take our time to do a complete inspection of anything that could cause you more problems down the line.

Doing so both before and after the project is complete simply makes sense.
