Roof Inspection & Maintenance

Why Regular Inspections Matter

Most homeowners never think about their roof until something goes wrong. By then, a small problem has turned into an expensive repair. Regular roof inspections help you catch issues when they are still easy and affordable to fix. A missing shingle is a $50 repair today but could lead to thousands in water damage next year.

At Gold Mark Lake Forest Roofer, we recommend having your roof inspected at least once a year, and after any major storm. Our inspections are thorough and affordable. We climb up on your roof, check every section, and give you a detailed report of what we find.

What We Check During an Inspection

A proper roof inspection covers every part of your roofing system. Here is what we look for:

• Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
• Damaged or deteriorating flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights
• Signs of water damage or leaks in the attic and ceiling
• Worn or missing sealant around roof penetrations
• Clogged or damaged gutters and downspouts
• Proper attic ventilation to prevent heat and moisture buildup
• Structural issues like sagging or uneven rooflines

After the inspection, we provide you with a written report and photos of any problems we find. We explain what needs immediate attention and what can wait. You get a clear picture of your roof's condition so you can plan and budget accordingly.

Preventive Maintenance Services

An inspection tells you what is wrong. Maintenance fixes it before it becomes a bigger problem. We offer preventive maintenance programs that include regular cleaning, minor repairs, and ongoing monitoring. These programs are especially valuable if your roof is more than 10 years old.

Maintenance tasks might include replacing a few damaged shingles, resealing flashing, cleaning gutters, or trimming back tree branches that hang over your roof. Small investments in maintenance today can add years to your roof's lifespan and help you avoid costly roof repairs down the road.

Inspections for Real Estate Transactions

Buying or selling a home? A roof inspection is essential. Buyers want to know what they are getting into. Sellers want to avoid surprises during escrow. We provide detailed inspection reports that give everyone peace of mind.

If you are buying a home and the inspection reveals problems, we can provide repair estimates so you can negotiate with the seller. If you are selling, getting an inspection before listing helps you address issues upfront and avoid delays. Whether you need a simple checkup or a comprehensive roof installation evaluation, we are here to help.
