See What We See: Night Roof Inspections in Flashlight Mode
Most roofing companies do their inspections during the day.
We like to take things a step further with your homes roof inspection at times.
At Integrity Roof Services, we break out the flashlights after dark to catch roof damage others might miss. Why? Because under the beam of a flashlight, dents, cracks, and hail strikes pop out like they’re under a spotlight on stage.
Why Flashlight Mode Rocks
Think of it like turning on your phone’s flashlight in a dark room — suddenly you notice all the little details you missed in regular daylight. That’s what happens on a roof at night. The angled light casts shadows over dents and dings, making them stand out big time.
We’ve spotted hail damage on metal panels, loose fasteners, and tiny cracks in flashing that would have been invisible in the midday sun.
A Few Highlights From a Recent Night Inspection in Orlando, FL.
1. Metal Roof Panel Dents
Under flashlight mode, hail dents show up like little craters. These aren’t just cosmetic — over time they can cause rust and leaks.
2. Fasteners & Seams
Some screws had tiny dimples around them from wind-driven debris. Those are prime spots for water to sneak in.
3. Roof Valleys & Flashing
These are high-flow water areas. We found subtle dents that, if ignored, could turn into expensive repair jobs down the line.
4. Dormers & Transitions
Where roof sections meet, we saw impact marks that needed sealing before they became leaks.
Why This Is a Big Deal for Homeowners
Even small hail dents can cause big headaches later. Once the protective coating on metal is compromised, rust sets in fast. Insurance often covers this kind of damage — but only if it’s documented right away. That’s why our night inspections give you an edge: we see it, we document it, and you get proof for your claim.
