Inspection

A roof inspection and routine maintenance are vital to ensuring every roofing system will enjoy its maximum service lifetime. A trained eye performing a roof inspection will add years of leak proof roof service. A periodic roof inspection regimen is the best way to achieve this goal; Raincoat Roofing utilizes 30 years of Chicago roofing experience to spot problems before they cause roof failure. A twice yearly roof inspection schedule is ideal and should occur in late fall and early spring, right before and after the worst weather cycles for the year. In addition, a roof inspection is also suggested after a major storm or any time roof damage is suspected.
