Home Problems FAQ at Ray St. Clair Roofing

Yes, we do! But we do charge for roof inspections. Let us explain the difference.

When a customer has a problem or a need for our services, this is an estimate. It could be a roof leak, an estimate for new gutters, ventilation, new siding, insulation, etc.

When someone is not aware of there being any problems and they just want their roof, siding, gutters, etc. checked for potential attention that may be needed or for preparation to sell or buy, that is considered an inspection which we do charge for.

If we find a problem during inspection and an estimate is provided and accepted, in most cases, we will waive the fee for the inspection.

Explanation of an ice dam: An ice dam typically starts when a sufficient amount of snowfall takes place and accumulates on your roof. A slight thaw from heat rising through the ceiling into the attic warms the roof surface and melts the snow close to your roof deck. The snow heated from these various portions of your home now flows down until it reaches the soffit and gutter areas, where it will freeze due to this area of your home not being heated.

Preventative Measures:

We encourage the homeowner to be present. We find it in your best interest to be there during the examination of your property so we can investigate all aspects of the job accurately and offer the proper solution or scope of work you are requesting.

We only add insulation to attics. The majority of your heat loss happens through the attic.
