What Is a Roof Inspection?

A roof inspection is a complete review of your entire roofing system performed by a licensed roofing professional. It goes beyond a quick look from the ground and examines the state of your roofing materials, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, drainage, and other components that assist safeguard your property.

For San Diego property owners, roof assessments are important because local weather conditions can accelerate roof wear and tear over time. Coastal moisture, salt air, year-round UV exposure, and seasonal Santa Ana winds all impact roofing materials in different ways. A professional roof inspection helps identify early signs of deterioration, hidden leaks, and other issues before they develop into more extensive and costly repairs.

What's Included in our Professional Roof Inspection?

Our roof inspections evaluate every major component of your roofing system. Here’s what we assess during every San Diego roof inspection:

Shingles and Tile Assessment

We look for granule loss, curling, cracking and missing areas on asphalt shingles. For concrete and clay tile roofs we check for cracked, chipped, slipped and broken tiles.

Underlayment and Decking Check

We analyse the quality of the underlayment and inspect the roof decking for soft patches, moisture intrusion, decay, and structural problems.

Flashing and Sealant Inspection

We evaluate flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents, pipe boots, and roof edges for corrosion, separation, and failed sealants that can lead to roof leaks.

Gutters, Drainage, and Ventilation

We examine gutters, downspouts, drainage, and attic ventilation to guarantee adequate water flow, moisture control, and roof performance.

Roof Penetrations and Skylights

We check vents, HVAC equipment, skylights, solar panel mounts, and other roof penetrations for appropriate sealing, flashing integrity, and evidence of water infiltration.

I used Ford roofing a couple months ago. Thomas was very helpful communicating back and forth. Scheduling was easy. His crew did a great job and left my property looking clean and neat. They managed to avoid damaging my palm trees and worked around them with ease. Not one complaint. Simple, easy, and affordable.

They were great! TJ and his his team made the whole process very smooth and easy. They did it for a great price too. I would highly recommend these guys for anything to do with fixing a roof!

TJ recently helped me get a new roof on a customers house before a solar installation. We were on a deadline and Ford roofing got it done right and on time!

Ford Roofing was professional from start to finish. The quality of the work and finishes is excellent, and our roof now feels solid and safe. Highly recommend them if you want it done right.
