Know Exactly What's Up There
Before It Comes Down
The most expensive roof problems are the ones you don't know about until they've caused serious damage. Our professional inspections give you a clear, documented picture of your roof's condition — whether you're maintaining your home, buying a new one, or assessing storm damage for an insurance claim.
Roof Inspections
Guide
What It Is
A professional roof inspection is a systematic evaluation of your entire roofing system — material condition, flashing, penetrations, drainage, ventilation, structural integrity, and attic-side indicators. There are three main types: annual/routine inspections that catch developing problems early, pre-purchase inspections that protect buyers from costly surprises, and storm damage assessments for insurance claims.
What We Inspect
We evaluate far more than just shingles. Roofing surface material wear and damage, all flashing at chimneys, walls, skylights, and vents, pipe boots and penetration seals, gutters and drainage flow, fascia and soffit condition, attic ventilation balance, attic-side decking for stains, rot, or daylight, and insulation condition. For storm assessments, we document every hail impact, wind damage, and debris impact with photographs.
Cost & Value
Professional inspections typically range from $125 to $450, averaging $250. Drone inspections run $150–$400. Infrared inspections (detecting hidden moisture) cost $400–$600. These costs are trivial compared to what they prevent: undetected leaks causing $5,000–$15,000 in water damage, buying a home needing an immediate $15,000 replacement, or missing an insurance claim deadline.
Why Frequency Matters
We recommend inspections twice yearly (spring and fall) and after any significant storm. Our storm season runs roughly April through September. A spring inspection catches winter damage; a fall inspection catches storm season damage. This rhythm catches problems at the earliest and least expensive stage.
Warning
Signs
Your roof is 15+ years old and never professionally inspected
You likely have developing issues that aren't visible from the ground.
Buying a home and the general inspector's roof check was superficial
General inspectors are not roofing specialists. A dedicated inspection can save you tens of thousands.
A major storm hit, even if your roof looks fine from the ground
Hail damage is often invisible from ground level. Wind damage to flashing and sealant can't be seen without getting on the roof.
Granules accumulating in gutters
Warrants inspection to determine whether it's normal new-roof shedding, localized damage, or end-of-life deterioration.
Neighbors are filing insurance claims after a storm
If homes around you sustained damage, yours almost certainly did too, even if symptoms haven't appeared yet.
You're planning to sell your home
A pre-listing inspection lets you address issues proactively rather than negotiating under pressure when the buyer's inspector flags them.

Examination of the roof deck underside for stains, rot, daylight, or moisture. Ventilation components, insulation condition, and signs of pest intrusion or mold.
Drainage & Perimeter Assessment
Inspection of gutters, downspouts, drainage flow, fascia, soffit, and roof-to-wall transitions from ground level.
