Are soft spots always visible from the exterior of the roof?

• <div><p>You may not always be able to see a soft spot on the roof from the exterior. If the underlying damage isn’t yet severe enough to cause the shingles to buckle or show other signs of damage, you may not be able to see that there’s a problem from the outside. A roof inspection will be able to identify soft spots. When a roofer walks on the surface of your roof, they’ll be able to find soft or spongy sections. </p></div>

Q: How long does the inspection take?

• <div><p>An inspection can take <b>up to an hour</b>, depending on the type of AC system you have. If you need to add more refrigerant, expect an extra <b>30 to 45 minutes</b>.</p></div>

Q: What size does hail need to be to damage a roof?

• <div><p>Generally, hailstones that are one inch in diameter or larger can cause significant damage to a roof. However, smaller hail can also cause damage, particularly when accompanied by strong winds, if it strikes an aging or poorly maintained roof, or if hailstorms are frequent in your area. Hail that is &frac14; inch (pea-sized) or smaller poses a minimal risk of immediate, permanent damage, but cumulative impacts can cause deterioration over time. The extent of the damage also depends on the roofing material; hail-resistant tiles like slate or certain types of asphalt shingles can withstand impacts better than other materials. If you are concerned about potential damage after a storm, it is always a good idea to have a professional roofer conduct an inspection.</p></div>

Q: Are roof inspections covered by homeowners insurance?

• <div><p>If your homeowners insurance company has required that you get a roof inspection, they&rsquo;ll cover the cost. Roof inspections are actually quite common with home insurance policies, as the insurer needs to understand the risk they&rsquo;re taking on. However, if you get a roof inspection of your own volition, you&rsquo;ll need to pay for it out of pocket.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t stagger shingles?

• <div><p>Asphalt shingles have varying thicknesses across the length, so failing to stagger shingles from one row to the next will leave you with bulges and bumps if the thicker sections stack on top of each other. Not only is this unappealing, but it increases the risk of water intrusion. Stagger each new row by 6 inches to avoid this issue.</p></div>
