Demystifying the professional roof inspection process so you know what to expect.

A professional roof inspection covers much more than a quick visual scan. Here is exactly what we examine during a comprehensive inspection.

Exterior Inspection

  • Shingle condition: cracking, curling, missing granules
  • Flashing integrity around all penetrations
  • Gutter and downspout condition
  • Ridge cap and edge condition
  • Signs of moss, algae, or debris accumulation

Interior/Attic Inspection

  • Signs of water intrusion or staining
  • Ventilation adequacy and function
  • Insulation condition and coverage
  • Structural integrity of rafters and decking
  • Evidence of pest or animal activity

What You Receive

  • Written report with findings
  • Photos documenting any issues
  • Prioritized repair recommendations
  • Estimated remaining lifespan
  • No-pressure professional assessment

Our inspections are always free and come with no obligation. We believe informed homeowners make better decisions.
