A solid roof does more than keep the rain out. It also adds to the beauty and functionality of your home. Properly installed and maintained roofing in South Carolina helps ensure the structural stability of your home by tying it together.
At CR3 American Exteriors, we understand how important it is for you to have a good roof over your head. That’s why we strongly urge you to have a roof inspection of your South Carolina home performed.
Why Is a Roof Inspection so Important?
Roof inspections let you see if there are problems starting before they turn into major headaches. Consider these reasons for including inspections as part of your regular roof maintenance.
Avoiding Damage to Your Home and Belongings
Small roof leaks can turn into major problems for the interior of your home. Over time, water from a slow leak can seep through roofing underlayment and cause rot and mildew within the wood structure of your home.
It may run down roof framing and settle into your attic insulation. Eventually, it can penetrate through the ceiling and damage belongings like furniture and carpeting in the main parts of your home.
Extending the Life of Your Roof
Catching an imperfection or damage to your roof early can mean the difference between a roof repair and a whole roof replacement. Since there is a substantial cost difference between a repair and replacement roofing in South Carolina, you can potentially save money by having inspections performed and staying on top of the condition of your roof.
Our professional staff will help you understand any damage that we find on your roof. This way, you can make an informed decision about how to best proceed with repairs or replacement.
Ensuring Insurance Payments Are Accurate
If your home has been damaged by wind or hail from a storm, then you have probably been in contact with your insurance company. While they will send out an adjuster to provide an estimate of damages, how can you be sure that they are giving you’re the right information. After all, they are most concerned with their own financial interests.
Our highly skilled professional roofers can tell you if your insurance company’s estimate is fair, and if their payment will actually cover the repairs necessary to get your roof back into good condition.
