A roof inspection in Coeur d'Alene is the cheapest way to avoid an expensive surprise. We recommend one every fall before the snow flies, after any major wind or hail storm, and before you buy or sell a home.
Our crew gets on the roof when it is safe to walk. We check shingles or panels for wear, lifted tabs, cracks and missing granules. We check every flashing: chimney, skylight, sidewall, valley and pipe boots. We look at gutters, drip edge, fascia and soffit, and we note moss, which grows fast on the shady north side of roofs under the pines. Pine needles packed in valleys and gutters are another big one around here, since they hold water against the roof.
Then the attic. We look for daylight where there should be none, water stains, frost on nail tips in winter, mold on the sheathing and blocked soffit vents. Attic frost is a common early warning in North Idaho that warm, moist air is leaking up from the house.
You get a written report with photos and a plain list: what needs doing now, what can wait a year or two, and what is fine. There is no pressure to book work with us. Many inspections end with a small roof leak repair or gutter installation and nothing more.
