Guardsman’s roof inspections are more than simply looking at a roof to determine whether it will last another 6 months, a year, or even five years or more, with the ultimate purpose in determining when a new roof can be installed.

​
Roof Conditions
 
As your roof ages, the more vulnerable it becomes, and the easier it is affected by age and deterioration. Even when your roof appears to be in good condition, a thorough inspection may reveal hidden or less obvious damage upon close inspection. Don't allow a superficial sense of security to catch you by surprise when least expected.
​
Your roof is the most vulnerable part of your home or building. This area is exposed to more of the direct and hurtful elements than any other area of your investment, and it is the most-costly to replace. Because of these facts, the roofing industry recommends having your roof inspected, even after the initial purchase of your property, at least every year, as part of your annual maintenance program.
 
With a maintenance schedule in place, you can have a greater level of confidence in maintaining the value of your property year after year.
 
Proper Roof Maintenance Will:
​
• Increase the life of your roof
• Save the high costs of roof replacement
• Protect your asset from costly damage

The Guardsman Advantage

All exterior structural components of the roof, including chimneys, vents and all types of penetrations, fascia, drip edge and/or edge metal, perimeter walls and metal wall cap, as well as areas of ponding on flat roofs should be inspected for damage and deterioration regularly. But Guardsman's roof inspections don't stop here, as it is just as important to perform close, visual inspections in areas regarding drains, scuppers, counter flashing, missing components, skylights, AC curbs, wall transitions, rusted areas, debris accumulation, and so much more.
​
Within Guardsman's detailed and comprehensive scope of our inspection process, areas of concern will alert us to problem areas that could be in the early stages of deterioration, whereby giving you, the property owner or responsible contact person, notice of the early warning signs that could help prevent expensive repair costs when left undetected. 
 
And when deterioration begins to develop in any areas that are not noticed in a timely manner, damage can occur to the underlayment, sheathing, joists, trusses, and more. Deterioration of all types, that begin with the exterior roof components are not limited to the exterior elevation. When left unchecked, damage can be seen to migrate into the interior elevations of the walls and ceilings, which have a high probability rate of creating damage to drywall, paint, and even carpet and flooring areas.
​
Internal and Structural Roofing Components
​
When roofs are not inspected regularly, interior structural damage can occur. Often, due to the lack of regular maintenance, interior damage is the first to be noticed. On sloped roofs, the location of the damage may not be directly over the location of the leak, whereby potentially causing additional damage to the substrate. Water follows the path of least resistance, which means that the source of the leak may not be above the area of the visible damage.
​
These types of issues can usually be eliminated by scheduling Guardsman's Regularly Scheduled Roof Inspections on a bi-annual or annual basis throughout the year. With these Regularly Scheduled Maintenance Roof Inspections on your calendar, you have the ability to wisely position yourself in a way to maintain the value and the integrity of your property, as you will be able to limit and even eliminate potentially expensive repair and replacement costs, not only to the exterior roof elevation of your building(s), but also to damage that could be incurred within the interior portions of the building structure.
​
Just give our office a call, and we will be happy to meet with you to discuss your specific needs and concerns in a way that is most beneficial to you and your investment.
