What Is a Roof Inspection?

A roof inspection is a detailed evaluation of your roof’s overall condition. A trained roofing professional checks all major components to identify damage, wear, and potential problem areas—so you can plan repairs or future replacement before issues become costly.

During a typical inspection, we:

• Inspect shingles or other roof coverings for cracking, missing pieces, hail impacts, and wind damage

• Check flashing, eaves, valleys, pipes, vents, and other penetrations for gaps, deterioration, or failed sealant

• Review accessible structural and decking areas for signs of leaks, staining, or sagging

• Evaluate ventilation and sealed areas that may have been affected by winter freeze–thaw cycles

You’ll receive clear feedback outlining:

• Areas of damage or concern

• Recommended repairs and general cost expectations

• Optional color photos of significant issues

We provide inspections for both residential and commercial roofs.

When Should I Schedule a Roof Inspection?

Ideally, roofs should be inspected twice per year:

• Spring – After winter snow, wind, and freeze–thaw conditions

• Fall – After hail season and before winter weather returns

While inspections can be done in winter, cold temperatures can make shingles brittle and sealants less flexible. Spring and fall offer the safest and most accurate conditions.

Benefits of a Roof Inspection

Regular inspections are one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your home.

Catch Damage Early

Small problems—like cracked shingles, loose flashing, or minor hail damage—can be fixed before they lead to leaks, mold, or structural issues.

Save Money Over Time

Minor repairs cost far less than interior water damage or premature roof replacement.

Prevent Major Failures

Your roof absorbs constant punishment from hail, wind, UV exposure, and temperature swings. Routine inspections act as preventative maintenance.

Support Insurance Claims

Inspection reports and photos provide valuable documentation if you need to file an insurance claim after a storm.

Extend Roof Life

Well-maintained roofs simply last longer. Addressing problems early helps your roof perform as designed.
