Forget about the term “roof inspection” for a moment—let’s discuss your roof. What does it even do?
Your roof rests above your ceiling.
It caps off your house.
Roofs protect you and your belongings from weather.
It never moves or leaves you uncovered.
Okay, we get it. Roofs are always there for us, but are you always there for your roof?
Roof inspections exist to make sure there are no underlying physical or structural issues with the roof on your home. During an inspection, a professional will look over the following items:
By now, you’re probably saying to yourself “My roof looks fine and it’s not leaking, I don’t need an inspection.” Chances are you’re probably right. However, roof problems don’t always present themselves in the most obvious fashion. In addition, many insurance companies prefer homeowners have their roof inspected before insuring, because replacement can be a large investment.
Galloway Building Services always recommends employing one of our St. Louis roof inspection experts, but there are symptoms you can look for as a homeowner to determine your need for an inspection. Missing shingles, visible external damage, moss, lichen, or mold buildup are just a few.

Having your roof looked over by a professional inspector could potentially save you thousands of dollars, and weeks of stress. Or, if you prefer, fill out our form or send us an email. We hope to be in touch with you soon!
