Things To Check After Roof Replacement: Ensuring a Successful Project
A Roof Replacement in York County PA is a significant investment that can provide long-lasting protection and enhance the curb appeal of your home. Once the project is complete, knowing what to check ensures you got the quality you paid for.
Your Post-Replacement Inspection Checklist
1. Visual Assessment From the Ground
Walk around the perimeter and look for even shingle alignment, consistent color, and no obvious gaps or exposed areas.
2. Check Flashing at All Penetrations
Inspect flashings around chimneys, vents, skylights, and where the roof meets walls. These are the most common failure points and should be properly sealed.
3. Inspect Gutters and Downspouts
Gutters should be clean of debris and securely attached. A good roofing crew cleans up as they go and flushes gutters after installation.
4. Verify Ventilation
Ridge vents, soffit vents, and attic ventilation should all be clear and unobstructed. Proper ventilation extends the life of your new roof significantly.
5. Review Your Warranty Documentation
A certified GAF Master Elite Contractor like The Grace Family Roofing Company can offer enhanced manufacturer-backed warranties. Make sure you receive both your workmanship warranty (ours is 25 years) and any manufacturer warranty certificates before we leave your property.
