When to schedule an inspection
Before the rainy season
Catch problems in the fall before the first winter storm.
After wind or storms
Santa Ana winds can lift shingles and shift tile you can’t see from the ground.
Buying or selling
Know the roof’s real condition and remaining life before you negotiate.
Insurance renewals
Documentation of roof condition can help with insurance questions.
What you get
A clear, photo-documented summary of what we found, what’s urgent, what can wait, and what it would cost to address, whether that’s a small roof repair or a full roof replacement. If your roof is in good shape, we’ll tell you that too. To see how we weigh the two, read our repair or replace guide.
No upselling
We’d rather earn your trust with a straight answer than sell you something you don’t need.
Frequently asked questions
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes. A standard roof inspection and estimate for homeowners is free and comes with no obligation. Formal written reports for real estate transactions may be priced separately; we’ll tell you up front.
How long does an inspection take?
Most residential inspections take about an hour, depending on roof size, pitch, and access.
