Schedule a Free Roof Inspection

What happens during a free roof inspection

We start on the ground, walking the house to look at the roof planes, gutters, downspouts and the fascia and soffits along the eaves. On the roof we check the shingles or membrane, the flashing at chimneys, walls and skylights, the pipe boots and vents, and the ridge. Inside, the attic shows what the roof surface cannot: daylight at the deck, stained sheathing or rusty nails, damp insulation, and whether intake and exhaust ventilation are balanced.

You get a dated photo summary of every slope and what we found, in plain language. If something needs attention, we explain whether it calls for a repair or is a sign the roof is near the end of its life, and a written estimate follows if you want one. If nothing is wrong, we say so.
