Your roof is one of the most important investments you can make. It provides protection for your family or business and the things you care about. Your roof should offer safety and security, so ensuring that it surpasses roofing standards should be a priority. At Wilson Brothers Roofing, we provide roof inspection services to make sure that your roof is in the best condition possible. 

What Does a Roof Inspector Do?

A professional, independent roof inspector—like those here at Wilson Brothers Roofing—will come to your home or business to thoroughly inspect the current quality of your roof. If your roof is compromised, we will determine what repairs need to be done and what we can do to prevent the need for future repairs.

An experienced roofing inspector will have a keen eye that allows them to look beyond visible damages when inspecting your home or business’s roof. 

Bakersfield Roof Inspectors

Located in the heart of Kern County, Wilson Brothers Roofing has offered professional roof inspection services to satisfied customers for 40 years. We understand the importance of a safe and secure roof over your heads. That’s why we conduct high-quality, thorough inspections of both residential and commercial roofs. 

Roof Vent Inspection

Roof vents are necessary to regulate the interior temperature of your home or office. However, they are susceptible to damage and leaks, especially since they are vulnerable spots that lead into your home or office. 

Whether you have low-profile attic vents, soffit vents, ridge vents, turbine, gable, mushroom vents, or more, they all need to be inspected to ensure they are intact and functioning properly. 

We will inspect your vents and roof by looking for:

  • Rust from moisture
  • Curling shingles
  • Ceiling stains
  • Siding damage
  • Extreme temperatures in your attic 
  • Distorted vents
  • And more

Your roof vent needs proper, professional inspection to ensure it’s performing properly. We want to make sure your home or office’s temperature is regulated to keep your electricity bills down and keep your roof’s structural integrity intact. 

Roof Shingle & Tile Inspection

Your roof inspection will include roof shingle and tile inspection. The condition of your shingles and tiles will determine any next steps for repairs or installation. We will perform a roof analysis, looking at the shingles and the roof decking. During our inspection, we will look for:

  • Deck consistency—how the deck feels and if obvious leakage has occurred
  • Loose shingles or tiles
  • Missing patches
  • Curling shingles
  • Stains
  • Mold 
  • Cracks 

We will also inspect your roof’s initial workmanship so that, if necessary, we can correct mistakes made by previous roof installers. If an inexperienced roofing contractor installed your roof poorly, then your roof’s lifespan will not be as long and you may experience issues like:

  • Sideways nails
  • Bumps beneath your roof’s surface
  • Blistering shingles
  • And more

Having professional roof inspection services performed on your shingles and tiles will help lengthen your roof’s lifespan.

Chimney Inspection

We will meticulously inspect your chimney and the surrounding flashing, shingles, and tiles surrounding your chimney. A chimney acts as an entryway into your roof, so we want to make sure that it’s working well in conjunction with your roof. As such, we will inspect any potential damage done to chimney caps, grout, and mortar. Cracks can be a sign of risk or damage to other parts of your roof.

Gutter Inspection

Professional roofing inspection companies like Wilson Brothers Roofing will know to perform a careful and complete inspection on your gutters.

We will look to see if we can find any:

  • Cracks
  • Plant growth
  • Blockages
  • Open seams
  • Standing water

Ensuring your gutters are working optimally is part of our responsibility as professional roof inspectors. 

Flashing Inspection

Flashing covers the most vulnerable parts of your roof. You can find flashing where one part of your roof joins together with another, with a roof accessory (like a vent or skylight), or with a wall/siding. 

An independent roof inspector from Wilson Brothers Roofing will inspect your flashing to make sure it is sealed properly. Damaged, rusted, or poorly installed flashing can lead to leaks and further water damage. We will protect your roof and home by making sure your flashing is solid and intact.

Commercial Roof Inspection

Wilson Brothers Roofing is knowledgeable about all commercial roofing topics. We want to make sure your business continues to run smoothly by providing professional roof inspection services. 

If our initial inspection uncovers any potential problems, we will provide commercial products that are both economical and environmentally friendly. Keep your business and assets safe by having your commercial building inspected by the trustworthy, qualified roofing professionals at Wilson Brothers Roofing.

Roof Inspection Service FAQ

Wilson Brothers Roofing has been providing professional roofing services in the greater Bakersfield area for 40 years. Thanks to our decades of experience, we are used to getting lots of roofing questions. We’re here to answer your questions and give you the best roofing inspection service in the area! 

When Should I Call a Roof Inspector?

Call an independent roof inspector at Wilson Brothers Roofing when your roof is in need of an inspection—which is both annually and after a big storm. All too often, we are called in for a repair when damage has already occurred. Calling us for an annual inspection is the best way to take preventative steps that will save you from future costly repairs. 

Other times to schedule roof inspection services include:

  • After a bad storm
  • When you find interior damage
  • When you see mold, leaks, or stains on your ceiling or walls
  • When you see obvious signs of damage, such as blown off or broken shingles/tiles
  • When you are considering investing in a new roof

When we perform an inspection and assess that it’s best to install a new roof, we offer numerous roofing products that you can choose from. 

How Often Should I Get My Roof Inspected?

There are two answers to this question:

  1. After a big storm
  2. Annually 

When you experience extreme weather conditions that could damage your roof, you want to contact a roofing inspection service as soon as possible. inclement weather conditions can compromise a roof. Having a thorough professional inspection done after a storm can help you identify problems right away.

The best time to schedule an annual roof inspection is in the fall, before the colder weather sets in. Bakersfield and Kern County have a desert-like climate. Although our summers are sweltering, we all know how cold the winter months can be. Fall is one of the best times for your annual roof inspection. 

When your roof is inspected in the fall, then any necessary but not immediate work can easily be done in the spring. That way, longer treatments—such as those for moss and mold, which can take up to six months—can be done in the fall and winter, leaving time for a final clean-up come spring. 

Wilson Brothers Roofing is happy to walk you through every step of the roofing inspection, repair, or installation process.!  

Why Should I Invest in a Professional Inspection?

As a home or business owner, you will be able to spot some of the more obvious damage that might occur to your roof. Surface-level visual damage, such as missing shingles, damaged gutters, or leaky ceilings, is an indication that there is a problem that needs to be solved. However, there are many roof issues that are not visible and require a professional inspection to pinpoint. 

Oftentimes, if there is a leak, the damage has already been done and will only get worse—usually much worse. If you invest in a professional inspection, we will be able to catch a compromised spot before it turns into a larger issue. Investing in professional roof inspection services now can save you on costly repairs in the long run. 

In addition to inspections, Wilson Brothers Roofing provides roof repair & maintenance services. That way, after your inspection, we can lay out the options necessary to remedy any damage we find. We also provide leak prevention services so that your roof’s lifespan can be extended.
