Shingle Assessment

Each shingle is examined for signs of curling, cracking, or missing granules. Using a durometer, we measure shingle hardness to assess weathering. Any shingles with less than 10% of their original granules are flagged for replacement.

Flashing Inspection and Repair

We check the metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights for rust or separation. We apply a hydrostatic water test around chimneys and vents, pinpointing even the smallest leaks. Separated flashing is resealed with high-grade polyurethane caulk or replaced with new 26-gauge galvanized steel.

Gutter Cleaning and Optimization

Clogged gutters can spell disaster. We clear out the debris, which is followed by a flow test where we aim for a minimum pitch of 1/4 inch per 10 feet. Downspouts are checked for proper extension - at least 4 feet from your foundation.

Attic Ventilation Enhancement

Attic ventilation is assessed using a digital hygrometer. We aim for 50% or less relative humidity. If needed, additional soffit or ridge vents are installed to achieve the ideal 1:300 ventilation ratio.

Moss and Algae Treatment

For moss and algae, we apply a low-pressure (under 1000 psi) zinc sulfate solution. This not only removes existing growth but creates a protective barrier against future infestations.

Minor Repairs and Reinforcement

Small issues like loose nails or minor tears in underlayment are addressed immediately. We use an infrared camera to detect subtle temperature variations, revealing hidden moisture or insulation gaps.
