What Is Roof & Exterior Inspection in Ann Arbor, MI?

Home exterior inspection in Ann Arbor, MI focuses on your roof and the areas around it—not a full home inspection or code check. We're looking for the source of leaks, stains, drafts, ice dams, and other signs that water or air is getting where it shouldn't.

We inspect the roof surface (shingles, flashing, valleys), gutters and downspouts, attic spaces if accessible (checking for moisture, ventilation issues, early mold signs), and exterior touchpoints like fascia, soffit, and trim where different materials meet.

The goal: find the cause, not just the symptoms. A stain on your ceiling means water got in somewhere. Roof inspection in Ann Arbor, MI tracks it back to the entry point so you know exactly what needs attention.

When Should You Schedule a Roof Inspection?

Ann Arbor's climate—cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers with precipitation spread throughout the year—tests roofs hard. Freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and wind-driven rain create stress on shingles, flashing, gutters, and attic ventilation.

Plan ahead:

At least once a year as part of routine maintenance (annual roof inspection in Ann Arbor, MI catches small issues early)

After major storms—wind, hail, heavy snow, or ice events (storm damage roof inspection in Ann Arbor, MI within 24-48 hours helps document problems)

Before listing your home for sale—a pre-sale roof inspection gives buyers confidence and avoids last-minute surprises

CALL SOONER IF YOU NOTICE:

Ceiling stains or peeling paint inside

Missing, curled, or cracked shingles

Persistent ice dams along roof edges (ice dam roof inspection in Ann Arbor, MI helps identify ventilation and insulation issues)

Overflowing gutters or water pooling near your foundation

Drafty rooms near exterior walls or attic spaces

Roof Surface & Flashing

We check shingles for damage, nail pops, and missing tabs. Flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and where walls meet the roof gets close attention—those are the most common leak points.

Penetrations & Valleys

Valleys where two roof planes meet, pipes that go through the roof, and skylight edges are all checked for gaps, cracks, or poor sealing. Water flows to these spots naturally, so they need to be tight.

Attic & Ventilation Check

If your attic is accessible, we look for stains on the underside of the roof deck, damp insulation, poor airflow, and early signs of mold. Attic inspection in Ann Arbor, MI helps catch problems before they spread to living spaces.

Gutters & Drainage

Gutters, downspouts, and where water discharges get checked for clogs, sagging, poor slope, and damage. Roof and gutter inspection in Ann Arbor, MI makes sure water moves away from your foundation properly.

Exterior Touchpoints

Fascia, soffit, siding along the roofline, and areas near known leaks or ice dams get inspected. We're checking for rot, gaps, or signs that water has been getting behind your exterior materials.

Storm Damage & Leak Inspections in Ann Arbor

When you notice a leak or your roof takes a hit from a storm, fast response matters. We schedule storm damage roof inspection in Ann Arbor, MI within 24-48 hours to assess the damage, find the source, and give you clear next steps.

Some leaks need immediate repair. Others point to bigger issues that make replacement the smarter long-term choice. We explain the difference honestly—no scare tactics, no automatic push to replace a roof that just needs a patch.

What we document:

Photos of damaged areas

How Does the Inspection Process Work?

Request an inspection

Contact us online or by phone. Describe what you're seeing—leaks, stains, drafts, missing shingles, ice dams—or mention a recent storm event.

On-site inspection

We check the roof surface from above, gutters and drainage from ground level, and attic spaces if accessible. We're looking for active issues and potential problems that haven't caused visible damage yet.

Photos & findings

We show you exactly what we see—photos of problem areas, explanations in plain language, and a breakdown of what's urgent versus what you can watch.

Options & estimate

If repairs or replacement are needed, we outline your options clearly with costs and timelines. If everything looks good, we document that your roof and exterior are in solid shape for now.

Why Roof Inspections Matter in Ann Arbor's Climate

Ann Arbor sits in a humid continental climate zone: cold, snowy winters with temperatures well below freezing, warm and humid summers, and steady precipitation throughout the year. That combination stresses roofs hard.

Freeze-thaw cycles crack shingles and open gaps in flashing. Snow loads test roof structure and create ice dams when heat escapes through poor insulation. Rain finds any weakness and works its way under materials over time.

Regular roofing inspection in Ann Arbor, MI catches these issues while they're still small—a loose shingle here, a minor flashing gap there—before they turn into ceiling stains, attic mold, or structural damage that costs thousands to fix.

What Happens After Your Inspection?

After roof inspection in Ann Arbor, MI, you get clear guidance on whether repair or replacement makes sense. We don't automatically push for a new roof if a targeted fix will solve the problem.

Example paths:

Healthy roof → Annual checkups, routine maintenance

One small leak + otherwise sound roof → Roof repair in Ann Arbor, MI fixes the issue

Multiple problem areas + aging roof → Roof replacement in Ann Arbor, MI conversation makes sense

If your roof is in good shape, we document that. If repairs are needed, we schedule them. If replacement is the better long-term move, we explain why and provide a clear estimate with options.
