Home inspectors check all aspects of your home, while they are useful, you are not always guaranteed an expert in all aspects of the home. A large percentage of home inspectors will never walk your roof.

Since the inspection is made with no expectation of future maintenance business, we cannot offer them free of charge. Please contact us for pricing information.

Oh what do you do in the winter time……?

December 15th, 2009 by Patrick Morin

Its late fall to early winter in Portland and homeowners are wondering what they can do to make sure there roof is in good shape. Most important is to get the junk off of it. The tree debris will cause water retention and it’s not good for your roof. Debris buildup creates diversions of water; causing unexpected leaks. The gutters need to be cleaned and free flowing now that the leaves are down. While that’s being done, an inspection can be made to see if all is well as far as functionality goes. Most of the walls, pipes, vents, and chimneys protruding through your roof need to be checked after a weather year like we just had. High heat, high winds and extreme cold. Man, what state do we live again?

Sincerely, Patrick D. Morin
