What Should You Expect During a Roof Inspection?

A roof inspection is the first step to getting the job done right. We check everything from shingles and flashing to drainage and interior signs of leaks. Every crack, crevice, and corner gets a close look, because that’s where trouble tends to hide. Once we’re done, we’ll walk you through our findings and explain exactly what needs to happen next, whether it’s a quick fix or a complete restoration.

How Often Should Roof Maintenance Be Conducted?

Routine roof maintenance is essential for extending your roof’s lifespan. It helps keep all components functioning properly and ensures your protective barriers stay intact. At Ragsdale Roofing And Innovations LLC, we recommend scheduling professional maintenance at least once a year, ideally in the spring or fall. Your ideal maintenance schedule may vary depending on your roofing material, surrounding environment, and local weather patterns.

Is Chimney Service Part of Roof Maintenance?

We always recommend incorporating chimney inspections into routine roof maintenance. Chimneys and roofs are structurally connected, so damage to one can quickly affect the other. Cracked flashing, deteriorated mortar, or loose bricks around the chimney often lead to leaks and water intrusion. Addressing these issues is just as important as addressing major roofing issues.

What Are Common Reasons To Enlist Roof Repair Services?

Roof damage can happen gradually or suddenly, but in either case, prompt attention is key. Whether you’ve noticed a small leak or suffered storm damage, we’re ready to step in with timely, reliable service.

Common reasons to call for roof repair include:

• Storm damage from wind, hail, or falling debris
• Leaks and water intrusion around vents, flashing, or seams
• Missing, curled, or cracked shingles
• Sagging rooflines or soft spots
• Moss or algae growth that compromises materials
• Worn or aging roofing materials

When Should a Roof Be Restored?

Even durable roofing systems eventually show signs of wear. Exposure to sun, rain, wind, and temperature swings can gradually impact your roof’s performance. Restoration is often a smart choice when the structure is still intact but beginning to age.

You might want to consider roof restoration if you notice peeling or worn-out surface coatings, small leaks or water intrusion, cracks or separations along seams and edges, discoloration or fading, or higher noise levels during storms or heavy rain. These issues often signal that your roof’s protective layers are breaking down.

Catching them early through restoration can help you avoid a full replacement and extend the lifespan of your roof.

What’s the Best Way To Restore a Roof?

Restoring a roof requires a careful, multi-step process designed to reinforce its protective features and maximize longevity. When done right, restoration can add 10 to 15 years to your roof’s service life.

Here’s what the process typically includes:

1. Inspection: A full evaluation identifies surface damage, weak spots, and potential leaks.
2. Cleaning and prep: The roof is thoroughly cleaned to remove debris, old coatings, and buildup.
3. Surface and seam repairs: Any damaged or loose areas are fixed and sealed to prevent water intrusion.
4. Treatment: A primer or protective base layer is applied, depending on the roof type.
5. Coating application: The final step involves applying a waterproof or reflective coating to boost durability and energy efficiency.

This restoration method strengthens your roof, improves performance, and delays the need for a full replacement.
