Know what you are dealing with before it becomes a problem
A roof inspection tells you exactly where your roof stands: what is fine, what needs attention soon, and what can wait. Whether you are buying a home, selling one, or just want to know if that 18-year-old roof has more life in it, we give you the straight answer.
Who needs a roof inspection?
Home buyers — The general home inspection gives your roof about 5 minutes of attention. A dedicated roof inspection gets someone on the roof, in the attic, and looking at the details that matter. It can save you from buying a house with a $15,000 surprise.
Home sellers — A pre-listing roof inspection lets you fix small issues before buyers find them and use them as negotiation leverage. Or it gives buyers confidence that the roof is solid, which makes the deal move faster.
Homeowners — If your roof is 15+ years old, an annual inspection catches small problems before they become expensive. A loose piece of flashing is a $200 fix now and a $2,000 repair after it leaks for six months.
Property managers — Regular inspections on rental properties and commercial buildings protect your investment and keep tenants happy.
What we inspect
We look at your roof from three vantage points:
On the roof — We walk every section and check shingles (or tiles, or membrane), flashing, ridge caps, valleys, vent boots, pipe collars, and any penetrations. We check for wear, damage, improper installation, and aging.
In the attic — Attic access is where you see the truth. We check for daylight coming through, water stains on rafters, mold, ventilation problems, and insulation issues.
From the ground — Gutters, downspouts, soffit, fascia, and visible signs of trouble. We also check for things like trees rubbing against the roof or leaves piling up in valleys.
The report
You get a written report with photos that covers:
- Current condition of every major roof component
- Estimated remaining lifespan
- Problems that need attention now
- Things to keep an eye on over the next few years
- Our recommendation: repair, maintain, or start planning a replacement
We explain everything in plain language. No jargon, no scare tactics, no sales pressure.
Cost
Residential roof inspections typically run $150 to $350 depending on the size and complexity of the roof. For that price, you get clarity on one of the most expensive components of your home.
