In Norton Shores, roof valleys are critical because they channel large volumes of water. During an inspection, we meticulously examine the valley flashing for cracks, corrosion, or improper sealing. We also check the surrounding shingles for wear and look inside the attic for any signs of moisture stains or mold, which are telltale indicators of a developing leak that needs immediate attention.

Ridge caps are the first line of defense against wind and weather on your roof's peak. Our inspection assesses the condition of the ridge shingles and the seals beneath them. Catching loose, cracked, or missing caps early allows for simple repairs. If left unchecked, damaged ridge caps can allow water infiltration and wind uplift, leading to much more extensive and expensive structural repairs for your home.

We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring or fall. It's also crucial to schedule one after any major storm with high winds or hail, which are common here. An inspection gives you peace of mind before the heavy rain and snow seasons, helping you address minor issues like compromised flashing or loose shingles before they turn into major leaks.
