A roof inspection isn’t just a quick glance from the ground — it’s a detailed, methodical evaluation of your home’s first line of defense. At All Site Builders, as a licensed Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we don’t just look for missing shingles. We assess structural integrity, moisture intrusion, ventilation, and hidden damage that could lead to costly repairs. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly what we inspect — both from the outside and inside your attic — so you know what to expect during a roof inspection in Connecticut. Our goal? To give you peace of mind, not pressure.
To be honest, roofs are designed to look fine — even when they’re failing.
From street level, your roof might appear intact.
But beneath the surface, problems are often brewing.
For example, a small crack in the flashing may not leak today — but during the next Nor’easter, water will force its way into your attic. Or granule loss on shingles might seem cosmetic, yet it’s actually exposing your roof to UV degradation and brittle failure in winter.
That’s why a professional roof inspection in Connecticut goes far beyond the obvious.
We check for curling, cracking, blistering, and bald spots. Granule loss is one of the earliest signs of aging — especially after hail or high winds.
Chimneys, vents, skylights, and pipes all require proper flashing. We look for rust, separation, gaps, or improper installation that could lead to leaks.
From the attic, we press on the decking to check for soft spots. Rot or sagging indicates long-term moisture exposure — a serious structural issue.
Poor ventilation traps heat and moisture, accelerating shingle deterioration. We verify soffit and ridge vents are unobstructed and functioning properly.
Stains on rafters, damp insulation, musty odors, or daylight through roof boards are red flags we document immediately.

Clogged or misaligned gutters cause water to pool near your foundation — but they also indicate poor roof drainage, which stresses shingles.
On roofs installed or repaired by us, we verify this critical barrier is present along eaves and valleys — a requirement for Owens Corning warranty compliance.
We assess how water flows during rain. Standing water or improper pitch can lead to premature wear in specific zones.
Hail dents, wind-lifted tabs, or broken tabs are subtle but critical signs. We use magnifying tools to confirm impact severity.
Is your roof a mismatched mix of materials? We ensure all components — underlayment, shingles, ventilation — work as a unified system.
