Free Roof Inspection — We Actually Climb It

A roof inspection should tell you the truth about your roof. Ours is free, it's hands-on, and you keep the complete photo and video file whether you hire us or not. If your roof is fine, we'll say so.

Why a Drone Flyover Isn't an Inspection

Drones are useful for measuring and for a general overview. They cannot tell you whether a shingle has been wind-unsealed, whether hail has bruised the mat beneath the surface, or how much granule loss has actually occurred. Those findings require hands on the shingle.

This matters enormously for insurance. Hail damage is frequently invisible from both the ground and the air. Homeowners get told their roof is fine, the claim window closes, and two years later a ceiling stain appears with no coverage left. We physically get on your roof — every slope, every time.

If a contractor assessed your roof without leaving the driveway or landing a ladder, you did not receive an inspection. You received a sales visit.

You Keep Everything We Find

At the end of the inspection you receive the full documentation file: photos and video of decking condition, flashing, ventilation, penetrations, valleys, and any prior repair work. Dated, and clear enough for an adjuster to act on.

This is yours unconditionally. If you take our file and hire a different roofer, that's fine — you're better informed either way, and that's the point. It's your roof and it's your evidence.

When You Should Get Inspected

Within 30 days of any significant wind or hail event in your area, even if you see nothing wrong. Most policies limit how long you have after a date of loss — often 12 months, sometimes less.

Before buying or selling a home, so a roof surprise doesn't derail a closing. Before your builder warranty expires on newer construction. And any time your roof passes roughly 15 years of age, so you can plan rather than react.

Free Inspection Questions

Straight Answers

Is the roof inspection really free?

Yes — free, with no obligation and no strings. We don't charge for the inspection, the documentation, or the written estimate. You keep the photo and video file even if you hire someone else.

How long does an inspection take?

Typically 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the size and complexity of your roof, plus time to walk you through what we found. Complex rooflines with multiple valleys and dormers take longer because there is more to examine properly.

Do I need to be home?

It helps, because we'd rather show you the photos and explain what we found while you can ask questions. But if your schedule doesn't allow it, we'll send the full documentation and walk you through it by phone.

Will you tell me if my roof is fine?

Yes, and we do it regularly. Sometimes a roof has years of life left and the honest answer is to do nothing. Sometimes a repair is right instead of a replacement. We'll tell you which situation you're in even when it means a smaller job for us.

Do you walk on the roof? Won't that cause damage?

We do walk it, and no — properly trained roofers walking a roof correctly does not damage sound shingles. If a roof is so deteriorated that walking it causes damage, that finding is itself important information about its condition.

Free Free Inspection Inspection & Estimate

We'll climb your roof, document everything we find, and give you an itemized written estimate that never expires. And if you don't need the work, we'll tell you that instead.
