When an inspection makes sense
- After a hail or wind event
- Before buying or selling a property
- Every few years on an aging roof
- After repeated leaks or ice dams
- Before planning a commercial capital budget
What gets checked
| Area | Looking for |
|---|---|
| Surface | Wear, cracking, impact marks, lifted tabs, membrane seams |
| Flashing | Gaps, corrosion, dried sealant, loose metal |
| Penetrations | Vent boots, skylights, rooftop equipment curbs |
| Drainage | Gutters, scuppers, drains, ponding |
| Attic or interior | Staining, moisture, ventilation, insulation |
| Edges | Fascia, drip edge, soffit intake |
What you receive
A condition summary with photographs, items ranked by urgency, and options for each. You can use it with an insurer, a buyer, a lender or your own maintenance plan.
Safety first
Not every roof should be walked. Steep, icy or fragile surfaces are examined from ladders, edges and, where appropriate, elevated photography.
Common questions
No. It documents condition. What you do next is your decision.
Snow cover limits surface review, but attic and interior findings are still valuable.
