Full Roof Replacement Needed - Caught Before It Was Too Late

This one was a close call. We got on top of this home for a roof inspection and found a lot more than worn shingles. The roof needs a full replacement - and once we dug deeper, we also found a damaged truss and 15 sheets of plywood that need to come out before any new roofing goes on. That's the kind of stuff you don't find unless someone actually gets up there and looks.

The asphalt shingles are well past their useful life. The granules are worn thin, the edges are lifting and cracking, and there's visible deterioration across the entire surface. On top of that, the eave detail shows shingles pulling away with open gaps - exactly where water finds a way in. Left unchecked, this turns into a much bigger and more expensive problem fast.

The flat roof section of the property isn't in great shape either. There are visible holes and separation in the membrane that need to be addressed as part of this project. A front door replacement and deck repairs are also on the scope. When a home gets to this point, it's rarely just one thing - and a thorough inspection is the only way to know the full picture.

Here's the good news: it was caught in time. The homeowner now has a clear plan, a full scope of work, and - because of our current spring gutter promo - they're getting free gutters included with the project. That's a real win on what could have been a much worse situation.

This is exactly why we push for roof inspections before small issues compound into structural ones. A damaged truss isn't something you see from the ground. Neither are failing plywood sheets or open eave gaps. Getting eyes on your roof is the cheapest thing you can do to protect your home.
