A spring roof inspection should check for missing or damaged shingles, cracked flashing, clogged gutters, moss growth, and attic moisture. In Sacramento, spring is the ideal time to catch winter storm damage before summer heat makes problems worse. Most inspections take 30–60 minutes from the ground and attic — or you can schedule a free professional inspection for a thorough assessment.
What Should You Look for During a Spring Roof Inspection?
Check your roof from three vantage points: ground level (sagging lines, missing shingles, gutter damage), on the roof if safe (cracked/curled shingles, damaged flashing, clogged vents), and from the attic (daylight through the roof, water stains, mold, adequate insulation). Here's the complete professional checklist for Sacramento homeowners.
Safety First
Before climbing onto your roof:
- Use a sturdy ladder on level ground
- Have someone spot you
- Wear non-slip shoes
- If uncomfortable, hire a professional — contact us to schedule an assessment
