Free inspection.
Honest answer.
Most people call a roofer when there is already water on the ceiling. An inspection before that costs you nothing and is the difference between a two-hundred-dollar flashing repair and a ceiling, an attic and a roof.
Scope
What we actually check
We get on the roof. You cannot inspect a roof from the ground or from a drone photo alone, and we do not pretend otherwise.
- Shingle condition — granule loss, cupping, cracking, blow-offs, nail pops
- Every flashing: chimney, walls, dormers, skylights, valleys
- Pipe boots and every other penetration
- Ridge, hips and the ventilation — intake at the soffit, exhaust at the ridge
- Gutters, downspouts, fascia and soffit
- Flat sections: seams, terminations, drains, ponding
- Attic side where we can get to it — staining, daylight, damp insulation
- Photos of everything, and a written summary you keep
The difference
What you get out of it
Photographs, not adjectives
You get pictures of your own roof, so you are not taking a stranger's word for what is up there. If somebody will not show you photos of the damage they want to fix, that tells you something.
Time to plan
Knowing you have got three or four years left on a roof is genuinely useful. You budget for it instead of financing an emergency in February.
An honest answer, including no
We have walked off plenty of roofs and told people to spend nothing. That is not a lost sale. That is how you get the call in four years, and the neighbour's.
