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.

Anthony and Robbie was at my home yesterday and I can't say enough about them, both were great and explained every that was going and showed me the cost , which I thought was very reasonable, they cleaned up anything before leaving. Anthony was checking the low water pressure in my home and found the problem, left got the parts and came back and was fixed in a short period. Robbie cleaned and serviced the AC unit and showed me pictures of what he had taken care of. I'm very pleased with Wingate, have used them in the past.

Aaron and Robby were great. Robby was patient with explaining everything to us, made sure that we understood everything, provided honest, professional suggestions. Aaron talked to us about some of the options we had available to us and reaffirmed the things Robby stated. Wingate was responsive and they came out within an hour of me calling. Highly recommend the Wingate team.

Another pleasant and successful service by Wingate. I'll always call them first! Our a/c started blowing warm during the hottest days of the year. I was afraid no one would be able to fit us in but they were out ASAP.Ty and Max were phenomenal - courteous, thorough, professional, and every other adjective you want service people to be! Covered their shoes, shook my hand, and explained exactly what was going on and how they would fix it. I could go on, but just trust me, CALL WINGATE! 😃

I first used Wingate to help us with our cooling system installed by another company. They were knowledgeable and the service was quick. We saw they also did roofing so we asked for an estimate. Aaron did the estimate that week and thought we might be able to get insurance to cover our very old roof. Aaron worked with our insurance company and to my surprise, we were able to get most of the work covered. Wingate installed our beautiful new roof, gutters and gutter guards, and we are very happy with the work. They found rotted boards and some other hiccups along the way and again, Aaron worked with the insurance company to get it covered. The work was completed in a timely manner and we were very satisfied from estimate through clean-up of the job. I didn't like the way one of the down spouts had been set to drain and they were out the next week to fix it to the way I wanted it. I could not recommend this company more highly.

I got numerous quotes on the price of a new cooling system and Wingate was very fair. Aaron was extremely knowledgeable on what I would need and the crew he sent out to do the installation were very polite and professional. I’m very happy that I chose Wingate and would recommend them to anyone

Ty H. Came out today to address a cooling issue on our very old system. He did an excellent job explaining what was going on and what types of repairs we would be looking at. With the amount of repairs we are looking at, and the remaining life expectancy of our system, we decided to get a quote for a replacement system and he got us scheduled for an estimate on Monday. Ty was friendly and courteous throughout the appointment and did a great job representing Wingate!

Don’t compromise your plumbing with calling the other guy!!! Call Wingate to ensure you get the best service. Nothing a Friday afternoon when second shift arrives to find out we have no water pressure as the pump has failed. We scramble to locate a pump, Wingate dispatched a technician out, upon arriving they advised 1 of 2 options. 1. Replace the pump which will cost x or let’s start with the pressure switch and save you money. With in 30 minutes, pump back running and saved me money!!!Thank you team Wingate once again for the awesome job and customer service.Croswell Bus Line

Austin referred us to Wingate after our A/C stopped working hours before we had a wedding and the day before we left for vacation. Ty, our technician, was out here within a few hours, very patient and explained everything. Ty fixed it quickly and we ended up making it to the wedding in time & still was able to get things together for vacation. Chris was so helpful in everything he did for us & I have no words on how to thank him. Truly an exceptional guy and really takes care of his clients. We very much appreciate everything they did to help us out & could not recommend them enough!!
