Most homeowners only find out their roof has a problem when water shows up on the ceiling. By then, the repair usually involves drywall and insulation as well as roofing.

An inspection is the cheapest way to avoid that. We get on the roof, go into the attic, photograph what we find, and give you a written assessment of condition and remaining life — with no obligation attached.

When to get an inspection

  • After any significant hail or high-wind event in your area
  • Before buying or selling a home
  • Annually once the roof passes fifteen years old
  • When you see granules in the gutters or downspouts
  • Before a homeowners insurance renewal or re-inspection
  • If your policy was non-renewed and roof condition was cited
  • After heavy limb fall or a tree strike

Why we go in the attic

Half the useful information about a roof is on the inside. Water staining on the decking shows where leaks have occurred even after the surface has been patched. Rusted nail tips reveal condensation problems. Compressed or missing insulation at the eaves indicates blocked soffit intake.

An inspection that never leaves the driveway — or never leaves the roof surface — is missing the evidence that actually predicts what happens next. If a contractor assesses your roof from the ground with binoculars, you have not had an inspection.

What "documented" means here

You receive the photographs. All of them, whether or not you do any work with us, and whether or not we found anything wrong.

That matters practically: if you later file an insurance claim, dated photographs establishing roof condition are genuinely useful evidence. And if you are getting competing bids, having your own photo set means you can evaluate what each contractor is telling you against the same information.

Buying or selling a home

A general home inspection includes the roof, but general inspectors are generalists and many assess from a ladder at the eave rather than walking the surface. Roof problems are among the most expensive surprises in a real estate transaction.

If you are buying, an independent roof assessment gives you a real number for negotiation. If you are selling, knowing the condition before it comes up in due diligence puts you in a far better position than reacting to a buyer’s inspection report.

What the inspection covers

  • Walked roof surface — shingle condition, granule loss, curling, bruising
  • All flashing: step, counter, chimney, skylight, and wall
  • Pipe boots, vents, and every roof penetration
  • Valleys, ridges, hips, and the ridge cap
  • Gutters and downspouts, including fastening and pitch
  • Attic interior: decking condition, daylight, staining, and insulation
  • Ventilation assessment — intake and exhaust balance against attic size
  • Dated photographs of every issue found
  • Written condition report and estimated remaining service life

Frequently asked questions

Is the inspection really free?
Yes, for homeowners in our service area, with no obligation and no charge for the report or photos. We do it because a meaningful share of inspections turn into work, and because homeowners who get an honest assessment tend to come back and to refer us.
How long does it take?
Typically 45 minutes to an hour for a standard residential roof, including attic access and photo documentation. Larger or complex roofs take longer.
Do I need to be home?
For the roof itself, no. We do need attic access to complete the full inspection, so someone needs to let us in for that portion. We can also do the exterior first and schedule attic access separately.
What if you find nothing wrong?
Then we tell you the roof is in good shape, give you the photos and an estimate of remaining life, and you go on with your day. That happens regularly and it is a completely normal outcome.

A free, documented inspection tells you what shape your roof is actually in — and whether you need work now or in five years. We will tell you either way.
