Your roof is the first line of defense against the elements, such as rain, snow, wind, ice and hail, yet it is often taken for granted until it falls into disrepair. In fact, it’s one of the most important components of your property.

Here in the Northeast, we really see our share of the elements! We’ve got heavy winds, hailstorms, tornadoes, snow, blizzards, ice dams, and even hurricanes to contend with. That’s a lot of Mother Nature battering down on your roof!

When Do You Need a Roof Inspection?

According to the experts, a properly ventilated roof can usually last about 20 years. But, when we factor in heavy rain, snow, ice, wind, storms, hail and hurricanes, your roof will most likely be compromised. It’s important to get routine roof inspections to ensure your property is protected.

Why Do You Need a Roof Inspection?

Roof inspections detect damage caused by heavy winds, extreme rainfall and snowfall, destructive hail and ice, and hurricanes. Not only does it provide detailed data on the integrity of your roof, it also provides estimates on the length of time you can expect it to last and an estimate on when it will need to be replaced.

      • Before Storm Season: Living in the Northeast means we see a lot of storms! It’s important to get routine inspections and be proactive, so you can rest assured that you’re prepared when that next storm comes.
      • Purchasing A Property/ Real Estate Investment: Most lenders require that an inspection be completed when you’re purchasing a property, and you should do this even if they don’t mention it. Find out when the roof was last replaced and request documentation. You should also inquire about type of roofing issue and any interior damage that may have taken place along with it such as storm damage, water and wind damage, leaks, rotting walls or floorboards, etc.
      • After A Storm: It’s imperative to get your property inspected after a heavy rain, snow, hail storm, hurricane, or tornado and ensure there is no undetected damage. Damage from a major storm is extremely devastating. If left unrepaired, this damage can lead to premature loss, aging, structural damage, and further leaks in the future. It’s important to get a certified inspection after any major storm. You can save you tens of thousands of dollars in the future as a homeowner, and hundreds of thousands of dollars if you own commercial real estate.

Roofing Experts

Our Roofing Experts at Venture Construction Group (VCG) help you select the right option for your unique project to protect your property throughout the repair process. We provide emergency roofing, dry-ins, tarping, shrink wrap, and even provide longer term “temporary” roofs with elastomeric coating. Some of our clients who have storm damage may need to wait for an insurance claim specialist, property inspector and/or a public adjuster to get their repair process approved. On average, residential projects can take anywhere from 3-6 months, and large-scale commercial projects can take up to 2 years. For you, the property owner, it can be quite stressful! Unfortunately, as a licensed general contractor, we do our best but don’t always have control to speed it up. We do our best to ensure you have a durable, temporary roof to prevent future damage and protect your property from the elements. A small leak in rainy season can propel quickly into a large water loss claim causing weakened roofing structures and exteriors, premature aging, further deterioration that will be even more susceptible in the future. It’s a downward spiral.

“As a construction company based in the Northeast, we’ve worked numerous storms, tornadoes and hurricanes over the last 25 years. We are committed to educating property owners every step of the way to help them protect one of their biggest investments… their properties. We mitigate any potential of additional leaks so our clients can avoid further structural damage and deterioration.”  – Stephen Shanton, CEO & President, Venture Construction Group
