Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home—it keeps you safe, dry, and protected from the elements. But how often do we really think about it until there’s a leak, missing shingle, or storm damage? At Cornerstone Roofing and Restoration, we believe in catching roofing problems early, before they become costly repairs. That’s where a professional roof inspection comes in.
Whether you’re dealing with storm damage, planning a roof replacement, or just want peace of mind, a timely inspection can make all the difference. In this blog, we’ll walk you through why roof inspections matter, how we do them, and what makes Cornerstone Roofing and Restoration the team you can trust.
Why Roof Inspections Are Important
A roof might look fine from the ground, but there could be hidden issues that only a trained eye can spot. Small leaks, loose shingles, and flashing damage often go unnoticed until they cause major problems like water damage or mold.
A regular roof inspection helps catch these issues early. It’s not just about repairs—it’s about prevention. At Cornerstone Roofing and Restoration, we inspect every part of your roof carefully to ensure your home stays protected year-round.
What’s Included in a Roof Inspection?
When we inspect your roof, we don’t just give it a quick glance. Our team follows a detailed checklist that covers all major components of your roofing system. This includes:
-
Shingles and tiles
-
Flashing and sealants
-
Gutters and drainage systems
-
Roof vents and ventilation
-
Signs of water damage or mold
After the roof inspection, we provide a full report with photos, explanations, and recommendations. You’ll know exactly what’s going on above your head, and what to do next—if anything.
When Should You Get a Roof Inspection?
Many homeowners think inspections are only needed after a big storm, but that’s not the case. In fact, getting your roof checked at the right time can help you avoid expensive damage.
Here are some good times to schedule an inspection:
-
After a major weather event (wind, hail, or snow)
-
Before buying or selling a home
-
Once or twice a year as part of regular maintenance
-
If you notice sagging, leaks, or stains on ceilings
-
When your roof is over 10 years old
At Cornerstone Roofing and Restoration, we recommend at least one roof inspection per year to stay ahead of issues and protect your investment.
Storm Damage and Emergency Roof Inspections
Bad weather can take a toll on your roof. Hail, heavy wind, and falling branches can all cause damage that’s hard to see from the ground. If you’ve recently had a storm in your area, don’t wait for leaks to show up—call us for an emergency roof inspection.
We’ll come out quickly, check for any damage, and help you with the next steps, including insurance claims if needed. Our team is trained to work with both residential and commercial roofing systems, so no job is too big or too small.

Roof Maintenance Tips Between Inspections
While annual inspections are important, there are a few things you can do throughout the year to help extend your roof’s life:
-
Clean your gutters regularly to avoid water backup.
-
Trim trees near your home to prevent branches from damaging shingles.
-
Watch for signs of leaks or water stains inside your home.
-
Check the attic for signs of moisture or poor ventilation.
-
After a storm, walk around your home and look for missing shingles or debris.
If you notice anything unusual, give us a call. It’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your roof.
