Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. But let’s be honest—when was the last time you really thought about it? If you’re like most people, it’s out of sight, out of mind… until there’s a problem. That’s where we come in. At Steel Rudder Roofing, we provide thorough roof inspections for homeowners, landlords, and commercial buildings across Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. Whether you suspect damage, are buying or selling a home, or just want peace of mind, we’ve got you covered.
A lot can happen up there without you even realizing it. Storms, age, and everyday wear and tear can slowly weaken your roof, leading to leaks, mold, or even structural damage. Inspections help catch small issues before they turn into major headaches, but we don’t typically recommend routine roof inspections unless there’s a specific reason to suspect damage. Having someone regularly walking on your roof is a great way to speed up wear and tear, and we don’t think it’s good for our customers. Here are some good reasons to call us out to take a look around
After a Storm
Florida storms are no joke. High winds, pounding rain, and flying debris can do a number on your roof. Even if it looks fine from the ground, there could be hidden damage that weakens its integrity over time. A professional inspection ensures nothing gets overlooked.
Before Buying or Selling a Property
If you’re buying a home, the last thing you want is to move in and discover costly roof problems. On the flip side, if you’re selling, a clean bill of health on your roof can boost buyer confidence. We’ll give you a detailed assessment so you know exactly what you’re working with.
When You Notice Signs of Trouble
If you’ve seen water stains, missing shingles, or suspect there’s a leak, it’s time to call us. The sooner you catch an issue, the easier (and cheaper) it is to fix.
What to Expect During a Roof Inspection
We take roof inspections seriously. Our process is thorough, efficient, and designed to give you a full picture of your roof’s condition. Here’s how it works:
Exterior Inspection
We start by looking at your roof from the outside. That means checking for missing, curling, or damaged shingles, loose flashing, signs of water pooling, and any structural weaknesses. If there’s anything off, we’ll find it.
Interior Inspection
Not all roof problems start on the outside. We check attics, ceilings, and walls for water stains, mold, and insulation issues—things that could indicate a hidden leak or ventilation problem.
Drone & Thermal Imaging (When Needed)
For commercial buildings or hard-to-reach spots, we use advanced technology like drones and thermal imaging to detect issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye. It’s all about making sure we catch every possible problem.
Roofs take a beating over the years. Here are some of the most common problems we come across:
After we’ve thoroughly inspected your roof, we’ll walk you through our findings. You’ll get a detailed report outlining any issues, recommended repairs, and an honest assessment of your roof’s condition. No pressure, no gimmicks—just straightforward advice on the best next steps for your home or building.
If everything looks good, great! You’ll have peace of mind knowing your roof is solid. If repairs are needed, we’ll go over your options and help you figure out the best solution within your budget.
