Thorough Roof Inspections
A roof inspection by a licensed roofing contractor should be an annual part of your home’s maintenance. While it is easy to overlook or put off any trouble with your roof, doing so could result in a costly repair that reaches much further than the roof alone. Water damage can be devastating to a building.
You could have structural damage inside and out, as well as ruined furniture, business materials, and just about anything else inside the home or business. Dr Roof Inc has been a trusted name in roof inspection Vancouver, WA relies on. We have delivered comprehensive roof inspections for nearly two decades.
Getting an annual roof inspection not only secures your home from unexpected roof repairs that have gotten worse over time, it also helps with your insurance.
If you have major damage to your roof due to a storm or other insured disaster, you may be denied coverage by your insurance company if the roof is old and has no documentation of the condition before the event. Insurance companies are covering less and less roofing costs for homes over 15 years old.
Having an annual inspection verifies the current condition of your roof, making it easier for you to get help from your insurance in the event of catastrophic damage to your roof.
