What a Roof Inspection Covers, and Why It Matters

A roof inspection is the cheapest way to avoid an expensive roof problem. It catches small issues early, documents storm damage while it can still be claimed, and tells you how much life your roof has left. Here is why it matters and exactly what we check.

Not sure what shape your roof is in?

Free inspection scheduled within 24 hours. Free, with photos you keep.

Why inspections matter

  • They catch problems early. A cracked vent boot or lifted shingle is a small repair. Found a year later, after water has soaked the decking, it is not.
  • They extend roof life. Keeping flashing sealed, gutters clear and ventilation working lets a roof reach its full lifespan.
  • They document storm damage. Hail damage is hard to see from the ground. An inspection with photos soon after a storm is what supports an insurance claim.
  • They help with energy costs. Poor attic ventilation and wet insulation raise cooling bills. An inspection that includes the attic finds both.
  • They help with insurance and home sales. Some insurers ask about roof condition, and a recent inspection report helps when selling.
  • What we check

    Outside, on the roof

  • Every slope, for hail bruising, wind damage, curling, cracking and granule loss
  • Ridges, hips and edges, where wind lifts shingles first
  • Valleys, for wear and debris
  • Every penetration: plumbing vents, exhaust vents, chimneys and skylights
  • Flashing where the roof meets walls and chimneys
  • Inside, in the attic

  • Daylight through the decking
  • Water stains, soft spots and rot on the underside of the roof
  • Insulation depth and whether it is dry
  • Ventilation: soffit intake clear, exhaust working
  • Signs of pests getting in
  • Gutters and drainage

  • Dents, sagging or loose hangers
  • Granules collecting in the gutters
  • Downspouts draining away from the foundation
  • Storm damage

    After a storm we also check soft metals like gutters, vents and AC fins for hail dents, which show how big the hail was, and look at siding, screens and fencing for damage that belongs on the same claim.

    What you get

    We walk you through the photos and give you a clear recommendation: nothing needed, a repair, a replacement, or an insurance claim. If it is a repair or replacement, you get a written price. You keep the photos either way.

    When to schedule one

  • Once a year, ideally before spring storm season
  • After any hail or strong wind
  • When you notice a stain, missing shingles or granules in the gutters
  • Before buying or selling a house
  • When the roof is approaching 20 years old
  • Inspections are free. Call (855) 741-ROOF to schedule one.
