INSPECTION
Don’t underestimate the importance of this yearly checkup for your home.
Your home’s roof is its first line of defence against storms and extreme weather, be it a foot or more of snow dropping from the sky overnight or high winds that tear through the town. When homeowners place blind faith in their roof and neglect it completely until the first sign of a leak appears in the ceiling, they could already be facing much larger problems or unwanted structural issues, mould growth, or damaged insulation, for starters. Spare yourself a headache down the road by having your roof periodically inspected.
When to Schedule Roof Inspections
After a hailstorm or other significant weather event, most homeowners recognize the need for a thorough roof inspection to determine whether their roof suffered damage. But that shouldn’t be the only time you consider your roof’s health.
Perhaps the most vital time of year to have your roof inspected is the fall before the cold of winter sets in.

What to Expect from Professional Roof Inspections
A roof inspector will be looking for leaks, unusual wear and tear, damage caused by windblown debris, organic growth issues, and problems that may have occurred during shingle installation or subsequent repairs. Ultimately, a roof inspection gets broken into four facets: structure, materials, interiors, and workmanship.
J.O.N. Roofing provides service and emergency repairs throughout the Annapolis Valley!
More than once, James and or Phill have been called out just after a storm. Often they would find homeowners in despair.
With a strong team of motivated technical employees, the service-driven company will always try to help or find a way to solve the problem to help you through the stormy weather.
The service starts with a free inspection (13 point inspection) of your roof and attic, the eavesdrop and they will calculate if the ventilation is adequate for your roof and advise you on what type of shingle to use.
J.O.N. Roofing does not stop there; they can repair, correct and re-insulate your home. Bringing it up to current standards. Making sure that the ventilation and the soffit are properly functioning is a major part of the inspection.
