Roof Inspection & Maintenance in Cincinnati

Your roof protects against water, wind, and debris and helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. It’s also the most vulnerable part of your home to the elements. Customers throughout the Cincinnati area can rely on Wingate Heating, Air, Plumbing & Roofing to provide comprehensive roof inspections. Our technicians are trained to look for common problems and determine if any repairs are needed. By scheduling a residential or commercial roof inspection, you can protect your property, avoid costly damage, and extend the lifespan of your roof.

How Do I Know I Need a Roof Inspection?

You might schedule a professional roof inspection if you plan to buy a home. It’s important to assess the full condition of any property you invest in. Or, you may consider inspecting your roof if:

  • Your Attic Is Leaking: Stains or mold can indicate your attic is exposed to outside air due to a damaged roof.
  • Paint on the Roofline Is Peeling: Peeling paint is a sign humidity is building up in underlying materials.
  • Damaged/Missing Shingles: If shingles are old, worn, or missing, your roof may have structural integrity issues.
  • Damaged Shingle Nails: If the nails on the shingles pop up, leaks can occur. Rusted nails or stains around them can also indicate a problem. 
  • Problems with Interior Drywall: Cracked or discolored drywall can be a sign of a leaking roof.
  • Damaged/Missing Flashing: If roof flashing is rusted, worn, or missing, your roof may not be watertight.
  • After a Big Storm: Heavy rain, hail, snow, ice, and high winds can cause roof damage, even if it’s not immediately obvious.

What Does a Roof Inspection Include?

Wingate specializes in a range of roof services, including comprehensive roof inspections. Our trained experts thoroughly assess your roof using advanced tools and techniques. These let us find subtle signs of damage or wear and tear. During the process, we’ll check shingles, flashing, gutters, fascia, cladding, soffits, and for evidence of damaged trusses, joists, or wall studs.

The primary concerns we look for include leaks, damage to roofing materials, and structural issues. If necessary, we’ll complete any necessary repairs, whether it requires:

  • Replacing missing or damaged shingles
  • Replacing damaged, loose, or missing tiles
  • Repairing cracked or rusty flashing
  • Sealing and repairing roof leaks
  • Fixing any damage to the roof fascia
  • Resolving roof ventilation issues
  • Replacing damaged rubber boots around vents
  • Draining standing water
  • Cleaning/repairing gutters
  • Checking for moss, lichen, and other signs of decay

What Are the Benefits of a Roof Inspection?

Early detection is one of the greatest benefits of a roof inspection. Missing shingles or minor water damage can escalate to water penetration, which can cause damage to interior walls and supporting elements. Water can also lead to mold that diminishes indoor air quality and can create health hazards. Replacing a roof can cost you over $12,000, but an inspection can help find issues to fix before you spend that much.

Air leakage or holes in the roof can reduce indoor comfort. These issues can cause cold air to get in or escape from your home, leaving it too chilly or warm. Moisture and humidity problems can also result. Your HVAC system will need to work harder to compensate. This can lead to energy efficiency issues that increase your electric bills. Therefore, roof inspections can save you on many fronts, from fewer repairs to lower bills to avoiding premature roof replacement.

Questions

What Time of Year Should I Schedule a Roof Inspection?

The spring and fall months are the best times to have your roof inspected. An inspection can determine if your roof will hold up in harsh conditions and allows a contractor to make small repairs to protect your home.

What Is the Cost of a Roof Inspection?

According to Forbes, a roof inspection in the U.S. averages $220.1 But the actual cost varies depending on the type of inspection, the technologies used, the size of your roof, and its slope and accessibility.

How Long Does a Roof Last?

The life expectancy of a roof depends on the type of material, its quality, and its durability.  A tar and gravel roof can last 10 to 20 years, while asphalt shingles last 15 to 20 years. A highly durable, well-maintained metal, composite shingle, or concrete, slate, or clay tile roof can last 50+ years.

We’ve Pulled Away From the Competition

Wingate provided detailed insights into my heating and cooling system, presenting the information clearly and understandably. They also created a document for future installations at my request. I would definitely recommend their services to friends and family.

We had a great experience getting a routine inspection of our furnace and troubleshooting a problem with short cycling. Robby was super professional and thorough, provided detailed information, didn't try to upsell anything, and worked quickly and efficiently. Best part - my dog was so excited to see him! We're excited to continue with Wingate for routine maintenance for our heating, cooling, and plumbing needs.

I've done business with them twice. 1 for my ac unit and the other when my heat stopped working when the temp was almost 0°. They were not only fast to respond and professional but they diagnosed the problem and laid out my options simply and effectively. Turned out I needed the heater replaced. Mike and the team came out the next day to replace it days before the temperature fell below zero. Super grateful for this company and the professionalism they provided. Top notch customer service. 10/10 would recommend.

This is our second time dealing with Wingate. I called to have a furnace inspection (my furnace was over 17 years old) and was shown evidence of a faulty furnace. We were given many options to either repair or replace it, and we decided to replace the furnace. I was pleasantly surprised when Wingate was able to handle the replacement the next day. The installation team showed up on time and completed the job in a very timely manner. Our whole experience from first call to job completion went very well. I highly recommend Wingate for ant HVAC needs.

The moment I spoke with the receptionist I knew I wanted to work with Wingate. The woman was kind and compassionate. She was encouraging that their team would take great care of us and that's exactly what they did. The communication from the entire team was excellent. I appreciated the text I received before every technician arrived and the fact that it had their photo so I knew who was on their way. Ty was the first technician that we worked with and he was wonderful. He walked us through step by step on his process and what to expect from him while he was at our home. The sales rep Michael was informative and he did not feel salesy or push to make the sale. He answered every question that we had about the equipment and the financial aspect as well. My family and I appreciate your team on their kindness, respectfulness and your professionalism. We will continue to recommend your company.

Wingate was quick to arrive even on the holiday weekend when our heat went out during a cold snap. Our service tech, Ty, was so kind and took the time to explain everything that was going on, and went above and beyond his duty to make additional calls for us to try and get our system replaced faster. I would definitely trust them should we need to call again! Thanks Ty!

Great experience from the Salesman to installation. The salesman explained everything in detail. Financing was easy. Techs did a great job. Very clean, organized. Went through the complete system with me then again with my husband. Not rushed at all. Overall a great experience from start to finish.

We contacted Wingate for a free roof inspection after we found shingles in our yard following a storm. Emily left us with a great first impression and had Lonny come out to conduct a thorough inspection. Lonny was extremely thorough and ensured nothing was overlooked. He identified several issues with our roof and guided us through the eventual insurance process, making the experience much less stressful with his knowledge and experience. Ultimately our roof has been replaced and looks great!We highly recommend Lonny and Wingate for your roofing needs. He was incredibly easy to work with and always quick to respond to our questions and concerns.If you have concerns about your roof then give Wingate a call!
