What Our Roof Inspection Covers

Our inspection process examines the roof as a complete system, not just the shingle field. Most roof failures start at weak points between components, not in the middle of an undisturbed shingle run.

Shingle and Surface Inspection

• Granule condition: concentrated loss patterns indicating advanced UV degradation or hail impact
• Cracking, cupping, or blistering on the shingle face, each indicates a different type of wear
• Ridge cap and hip shingle condition, first-failure points on most Indiana roofs
• Wind-lifted or missing shingles, particularly tabs on older 3-tab roofing
• Algae or moss growth, common in shaded areas and an indicator of moisture retention

Flashing and Penetrations

• Chimney flashing, step flashing, counter flashing, and cricket condition
• Pipe boot flashings, rubber collars that seal around plumbing vents, a high-frequency failure point
• Valley flashing, open metal or closed weave valleys handling concentrated water flow
• Drip edge condition along eaves and rakes
• Any skylights or other roof penetrations

Gutters, Soffit, and Fascia

• Gutter attachment and slope, sagging gutters indicate fascia deterioration
• Downspout routing and termination, discharge too close to the foundation contributes to basement water problems
• Soffit panel condition and ventilation adequacy
• Fascia condition, rot at the back edge behind the gutter is common in northern Indiana’s wet climate

Attic Assessment

• Decking condition, soft spots or staining visible from inside the attic
• Evidence of past leaks, dried water staining on rafters or decking
• Attic ventilation, intake and exhaust ratio affects both shingle life and winter ice dam risk
• Insulation condition and coverage

When to Schedule a Roof Inspection in Northern Indiana

There are specific situations where scheduling quickly is worth prioritizing:

After any storm with hail over 1 inch in diameter, hail damage to shingles isn’t always visible from the ground
Before listing your home for sale, buyers will request an inspection and addressing problems ahead of time gives you negotiating leverage
When your homeowners insurance carrier requires a roof inspection for renewal
If your roof is 15 years or older and has never been professionally inspected

If you’ve noticed interior ceiling staining that appeared or worsened after a rain event

Storm Damage Documentation for Insurance Claims

A&M Home Services provides full storm damage documentation as part of our inspection service. After a hail or wind event, our written report includes photographs of every area of damage, hail size correlation, impact count assessments, and a repair or replacement scope formatted for insurance claim submission.
We work with all major insurance carriers serving northern Indiana. If your adjuster’s scope differs from our assessment, we know how to document and present a supplement. Thorough initial documentation produces better claim outcomes, consistently.
