Posted by Impact Roofing | August 2, 2025
Your roof is your home’s first line of defense. But it’s often the most overlooked part of the house until there’s a serious (and expensive) problem. At Impact Roofing, we’ve seen many cases where a simple inspection could have prevented major damage.

The True Cost of Ignoring Your Roof
Small issues like missing shingles, minor leaks, or poorly sealed flashing don’t seem urgent. But over time, they can lead to mold, rot, and interior water damage.
According to the National Roofing Contractors Association:
A neglected leak can multiply repair costs by 4 to 5 times in just a few months.
A $300 repair today could easily become a $2,000 ceiling replacement.
What Happens During a Roof Inspection
Our team doesn’t just glance at the roof surface. We check:
-
Shingle condition
-
Flashing, vents, and seals
-
Drainage issues and soft spots
-
Signs of storm, hail, or wind damage
-
Gutter and downspout function
Inspections are quick, non-invasive, and completely free for homeowners in our service area. We also provide photo documentation so you can see exactly what we see.
When to Schedule a Roof Inspection
You should schedule a roof inspection:
-
Once a year
-
After major storms or hail
-
Before buying or selling a home
