Manchester, NH Roof Inspections Residential & Commercial

Roof Inspections in Manchester, NH

Manchester Premium Roofing provides professional roof inspections in Manchester, NH for residential and commercial properties across southern New Hampshire. Our inspections are paid, the fee is not credited toward work, and the written report is yours. That arrangement exists so that our finding is allowed to be that your roof is fine, which a free inspection can never honestly be.

A free roof inspection is a sales call. The person performing it is paid only if he finds something, and in a state where no board licenses him and no inspector reviews his work, there is nothing at all sitting between that incentive and your wallet. Charging for the visit removes the incentive rather than disclosing it. You are paying for an opinion, and an opinion you paid for is the only kind worth having.

The report covers each slope separately with photographs, the condition of the flashings at chimneys, sidewalls and valleys, the edge metal, the gutters and what the attic shows from underneath. Every slope gets its own remaining-life estimate as a range with a reason attached, because on a Manchester house the south elevation is routinely a decade ahead of the north. Ranges are honest where a single number would not be.

There is a second reason to hold a written record here, and it is legal rather than technical. RSA 359-G:4 requires a homeowner who wants to bring a construction defect claim to serve notice describing the defect in detail and to hand over the evidence already in his possession. Dated photographs and a condition report from before the dispute are worth considerably more than a recollection.

We do these before a purchase as well, and buyers get the same document a seller would. What we will not do is issue a certification that a roof has some number of years left, because nobody can know that and the paper would be worthless to you the moment you tried to rely on it.

The honest outcome of many of these visits is a re-inspection date and no invoice for work. If that is what your roof needs, that is what the report will say, and you keep the file either way. Take it to another contractor and compare their reading against ours. We would rather that than have you take our word for it. A second opinion that agrees with ours costs you very little and settles the question.

Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — surface-mounted counterflashing anchored above the mortar line, joints raked and repointed in soft Type O lime mortar, lead wedges setting flashing into a raked brick joint, shingles tested to ASTM D3462 and classified to D7158, net free ventilating area computed to IRC R806.2, a saddle framed to the 30-inch chimney threshold — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Manchester and nearby communities including Bedford, Goffstown, Hooksett, Merrimack.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof inspections

The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with surface-mounted counterflashing anchored above the mortar line, joints raked and repointed in soft Type O lime mortar, lead wedges setting flashing into a raked brick joint, shingles tested to ASTM D3462 and classified to D7158, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.

Every Manchester job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in southern New Hampshire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Manchester Chooses Manchester Premium Roofing

  • We tell you plainly that New Hampshire issues no roofing license, then show you the three things about a contractor you actually can verify here.
  • The warranty is written before the sale, not handed over at the end, because the statute reads that document to decide whether your complaint counts as a defect.
  • Our inspections are paid and the written report belongs to you, so our finding is allowed to be that your roof needs nothing this year.
  • Where a roof meets old brick we set flashing into a raked joint and repoint in soft lime mortar, and we will not run a grinder through a wall that cannot take one.

Roof Inspections in Manchester: Common Questions

How much does roof inspections cost in Manchester, NH?

It comes down to square footage, access, the condition of what is already there, and the materials you choose — surface-mounted counterflashing anchored above the mortar line, joints raked and repointed in soft Type O lime mortar, lead wedges setting flashing into a raked brick joint. We do not price a job off a phone call and a guess.

We measure on site and hand you an itemized free estimate with the scope written out, so you can compare it line by line against anyone else's number.

How long does a roof inspections job take?

Most residential roof inspections work in Manchester runs from a single day to about a week once materials are on site. Larger commercial jobs get phased so the property keeps operating. Weather, permit review and material lead times are the usual reasons a date moves, and you hear about those from us before the crew starts, not after.

Do you pull permits and handle inspections in Manchester?

Yes, on any work that needs one. We file with the Manchester building department, schedule the inspection and stay on site for it. Skipping a permit is how property owners end up paying twice — once for the work, and again when it fails at resale or an insurance claim.

Is Manchester Premium Roofing licensed and insured?

New Hampshire issues no roofing license. The Office of Professional Licensure and Certification runs boards for electricians, plumbers and gas fitters, and none covers this trade, so nobody can hand you a state roofing credential to check.

What does govern is RSA 155-A:2, I, which applies the state building code to every repair, alteration and renovation of a building already standing, and RSA 155-A:2, VII, which places responsibility for meeting that code on the contractor and says plainly that no municipality is liable if he fails.

We pull the Manchester permit and print the adopted code edition on the contract.. General liability and workers' compensation carried without a gap, and the paperwork reaches you direct from the insurer instead of as a copy we forward on.

Ask any bidder for it the same way, since in a state with no licensing board this is one of the few things about a roofer that a stranger can actually confirm.. National Roofing Contractors Association member.

Membership is a trade body subscription and not a government credential, and we would rather you weighed the permit record at One City Hall Plaza, which lists what was pulled at which address and whether it was ever closed out..

Every roof inspections job carries You get the workmanship warranty as a document, its duration and every exclusion typed onto it.

That matters more here than most places: RSA 359-G:2, III says a construction defect carries the meaning assigned by the written express warranty, so in New Hampshire the sheet of paper we hand you is what a court will read to decide whether your complaint is a defect at all..

Ask any contractor for those four things in writing before you sign — the ones who hesitate are telling you something.

Do you take commercial roofing work as well as residential?

Both. Manchester Premium Roofing runs residential roof inspections across Manchester neighborhoods and commercial work for offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA properties throughout southern New Hampshire. Commercial jobs get phased scheduling and off-hours crews so tenants and customers are not shut out while the work happens.
