Roof Inspection Priorities for St. George
Frequent UV audits help St. George homeowners catch brittle shingles and cracked tiles before the monsoon season arrives.
Useful St. George inspections document roof system type, tile or shingle condition by plane, underlayment age and condition where visible, ventilation balance, penetration seals, and monsoon drainage capacity. Because UV degradation is the primary aging mechanism, the inspection should note granule coverage, surface brittleness, and adhesive condition by exposure orientation rather than treating all planes equally.
Tile systems add inspection points that shingle roofs don't require: mortar condition at ridges, hips, and rakes; crack and slip assessment for individual tiles; and underlayment exposure at broken tile locations. Findings should distinguish tile-level repairs, underlayment replacement candidates, and structural conditions requiring permit review.
