When a Roof Inspection Makes Sense

You don’t need a leak to have your roof inspected. Sometimes the best time to look is when nothing is wrong.

Buying a Home

A roof can look fine from the driveway and still have years of wear, previous repairs, or underlying issues worth knowing about before you close. A dedicated roof inspection gives you a better understanding of the roof you're buying and any costs you may need to plan for.

Selling Your Home

Knowing your roof's condition before you list can make the selling process easier. An inspection lets you address repairs ahead of time and gives you documentation to share with prospective buyers.

After a Storm

Wind and hail can damage shingles, flashing, ridge caps, and other roofing components without leaving obvious signs from the ground. An inspection can identify damage early and document the roof's condition after the storm.

Keeping Up With Your Home

As a roof gets older, regular inspections can catch minor issues before they become expensive repairs. If you're unsure how your roof is holding up, an inspection is a good place to start.

When You Notice Something Different

A ceiling stain, water mark, missing shingle, or other change around your home is a good reason to have the roof checked. Sometimes the visible sign is small while the underlying issue is not.

What We Look At During a Roof Inspection

We assess the roofing system as a whole, including:

01Roof surface

Shingles or metal panels, wear, damage, granule loss, cracking, curling, and previous repairs.

Areas around chimneys, walls, valleys, vents, skylights, and pipe boots.

03Ridge and roof edges

Ridge caps, drip edge, and other perimeter details.

04Roof decking

Visible signs of deterioration, sagging, or previous water damage.

05Attic areas

Where accessible, we check for staining, moisture, damaged insulation, and other signs of water intrusion.

06Ventilation

Intake and exhaust components that affect the condition and life of the roof.

07Gutters and drainage

Conditions that can affect how water moves off the roof and away from the home.
