What a Professional Roof Inspection Covers
A professional roof inspection is more thorough than a visual scan from the ground. Our technician accesses the roof surface and evaluates each component systematically, noting current deficiencies and areas that warrant monitoring.
The inspection covers the exterior roofing system as well as accessible attic space where relevant — often the best place to spot moisture damage, inadequate ventilation, and structural issues before they become apparent from inside the home.
What We Evaluate
Granule coverage, cupping, blistering, cracking, and missing shingles. Age assessment and estimated remaining service life.
Condition of all metal flashings at valleys, dormers, walls, chimneys, and roof-to-wall intersections.
Plumbing vents, exhaust fans, skylights, and any other roof penetrations. Sealant condition and collar integrity.
Ridge vents, soffit vents, gable vents, and powered ventilators. Airflow adequacy and blockage assessment.
Gutter condition, slope, attachment integrity, and downspout termination. Signs of overflow or blockage.
Moisture staining, deck condition, insulation coverage, and signs of past water infiltration from the interior side.
The Inspection Report
Following the site visit, we provide a written inspection report. This includes a description of findings organized by roof component, photographs of areas of concern, and our assessment of priority — what needs attention now, what should be monitored, and what is in serviceable condition.
The report is yours to keep and share as needed — whether for your own maintenance planning, working with your home insurer, or providing documentation in a real estate transaction.
When to Schedule an Inspection
- After a significant hailstorm or high-wind event
- When purchasing or selling a home
- If your roof is 15 or more years old and has never been professionally evaluated
- When you notice interior signs of moisture without an obvious cause
- As a periodic maintenance check — typically every 3–5 years on a roof in good condition
