Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Inspections

How often should I have my roof inspected?

We recommend professional roof inspections at least once every 1-2 years and after any major storm or extreme weather event.

How long does a roof inspection take?

A typical residential roof inspection takes 1-2 hours, depending on the size and complexity of your roof.

Can a roof inspection damage my roof?

No, our professional inspectors use techniques that won’t cause damage to your roof. For steep or fragile roofs, we often use drone technology to avoid walking on the roof surface.

Do I need to be present during the inspection?

While not absolutely necessary, we recommend being present so our inspector can discuss findings with you directly and answer any questions.

What’s the difference between a home inspector’s roof check and your professional inspection?

Home inspectors typically perform a cursory check from the ground or through binoculars. Our professional roof inspections are much more thorough, with close-up examination of all components and specialized equipment when needed.

Is a roof inspection worth the cost?

Absolutely. Early detection of roof issues can save you thousands in potential damage and extend the life of your roof. Many issues caught during inspections can be repaired for a fraction of what they would cost if left to worsen.
