Free Roof Inspection For Kent Homes
A real roof inspection is done from on the roof and in the attic, not from the driveway with binoculars. In Kent we check shingles, flashing, vents, valleys and pipe boots, then look underneath at ventilation, insulation and the deck.
Inspections are booked from our Wadsworth office, about 35 min away, usually within a few days. Estimates follow within three business days.

What We Check
- Shingle condition, granule loss and seal strength
- Flashing at walls, chimneys and skylights
- Valleys, ridge cap and vents
- Pipe boots and other penetrations
- Attic ventilation balance and insulation depth
- Deck condition and signs of past leaks
- Gutters, fascia and soffit
Local Factors In Kent
Weather
The weather pattern in Kent matters: winter runs longer and wetter here than anywhere else in Ohio, which is why a shingle rated for thirty years rarely gets there in this county.
Housing
There is a pattern to the homes in Kent as well: the housing here skews considerably older than central Ohio, which means steeper pitches, cut-up rooflines and decks that have seen three roofs.
When To Book One
- After any hail or major wind event
- Before buying or selling a home
- When the roof passes 15 years old
- If you see stains on ceilings or daylight in the attic
