Roof Inspection & Maintenance
Catch problems early and extend the life of your roof.
Your roof protects everything inside your home or business. Regular inspections and maintenance help you avoid expensive surprises and make your roof last longer. At TrustyHands Gary Roofing, we provide thorough roof inspections and maintenance services for property owners throughout Gary, IN and surrounding areas.
Why Regular Inspections Save You Money
Most roof problems start small. A few missing shingles, a small crack, or loose flashing might not seem like a big deal. But over time, these minor issues let water in. Water damage spreads fast and costs a lot to fix.
Regular inspections catch these problems while they're still easy and cheap to repair. Think of it like getting your car's oil changed. A little prevention now saves you from major repairs later.
We recommend having your roof inspected at least once a year. You should also get an inspection after major storms or if you notice any signs of damage. If your roof is over 15 years old, twice-yearly inspections make sense.
What We Check During an Inspection
Our inspections are thorough. We don't just look at your roof from the ground. We get up there and examine everything carefully. Here's what we check:
- •Shingles for cracks, curling, missing pieces, or wear
- •Flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof edges
- •Gutters and downspouts for clogs and damage
- •Roof penetrations like vents, skylights, and pipes
- •Attic for proper ventilation, leaks, and insulation issues
- •Soffits and fascia for rot or damage
- •Overall roof structure for sagging or other concerns
After the inspection, we'll give you a detailed report with photos. We'll explain any problems we found and recommend repairs if needed. If your roof is in good shape, we'll tell you that too. We're honest about what you need and what can wait.
Ongoing Maintenance Services
Beyond inspections, regular maintenance keeps your roof in top condition. Small tasks done regularly prevent big problems down the road.
We offer maintenance packages that include cleaning your gutters, removing debris from your roof, trimming back overhanging branches, resealing vulnerable areas, and replacing worn weatherstripping. We can also apply protective coatings that help your roof resist algae, moss, and UV damage.
For commercial properties, we provide customized maintenance plans. These plans keep your roof warranty valid and help you budget for roof-related expenses. We'll visit your property on a regular schedule and handle everything for you.
Many homeowners also sign up for our maintenance programs. It's an easy way to make sure your roof gets the attention it needs without you having to remember to schedule service.
Signs You Need an Inspection Now
Don't wait for your annual inspection if you notice any of these warning signs. Call us right away for a thorough check:
Water stains on your ceiling or walls mean water is getting in somewhere. Missing or damaged shingles leave your roof exposed. If you see granules from your shingles in the gutters, your shingles are wearing out. Sagging areas or dips in your roofline suggest structural problems. Higher energy bills might mean your roof isn't insulating properly.
After any major storm with high winds or hail, get an inspection even if you don't see obvious damage. Storm damage isn't always visible from the ground, but it still needs to be addressed.
If we find damage during an inspection, we can handle roof repairs quickly. For older roofs, we'll let you know if it's time for a roof replacement. Check out our homepage to see all our roofing services.
