When to Get a Roof Inspection

• After a storm: wind, hail, and heavy rain can cause damage you can't see from the ground.
• Before buying or selling a home: know the roof's condition before you negotiate or list.
• When you see warning signs: ceiling stains, missing shingles, granules in the gutters, or attic moisture.
• Before a major roofing project: find hidden problems so your quote reflects the real scope.
• Before an insurance claim: a documented inspection helps you understand the damage and what to report.
• For a second opinion: unsure about a quote you received? A separate assessment can help you compare.
• As routine upkeep: many roofing professionals recommend checking your roof at least once a year.

What We Check During a Roof Inspection

• Roof surface: shingles, tiles, or panels checked for cracking, curling, missing pieces, wear, and impact marks.
• Flashing: chimneys, skylights, vents, walls, and valleys checked for gaps, rust, and loose metal.
• Penetrations and seals: pipe boots, vent seals, and sealant checked for cracking or wear.
• Gutters and drainage: clogs, sagging, and water flow problems that can affect the roof edge.
• Roof structure: sagging or uneven areas that may point to deck or support problems.
• Attic and ventilation: moisture, stains, mold, insulation condition, and airflow, where accessible.
• Interior signs: ceiling and wall stains that may be linked to roof leaks.

What You Get After the Inspection

• A clear explanation of your roof's overall condition
• A written summary of what we found, including any problem areas
• Priorities: what needs attention now and what can wait
• Your options: repair, maintenance, or replacement, explained without pressure
• A written quote if work is recommended

Hidden Problems an Inspection Can Find

Many roof problems start where you can't see them. Water can travel along decking before it shows up as a stain inside, and damage under the surface can spread quietly. An inspection can find:

• Moisture in the decking or insulation
• Rot or soft spots under the roofing
• Failing flashing and worn seals
• Poor ventilation that traps heat and moisture in the attic
• Early signs of wear before leaks begin

Inspection or Maintenance: Which Do You Need?

An inspection is mainly an assessment of your roof's condition. It's a good fit when you're buying or selling, filing a claim, or want a second opinion. Maintenance adds hands-on upkeep, like clearing debris and handling minor fixes. If you want regular care, see our residential roofing maintenance page.

Inspection After Storm Damage

If wind or hail may have damaged your roof, an inspection helps you find out before small damage turns into leaks. Check your homeowners insurance coverage and policy deadlines early. We can document what we find and provide a written estimate for any work. See our storm damage roof repair page for more. If water is already coming in, call about emergency roof repair.

Inspection Before Buying or Selling a Home

Buyers use roof inspections to understand upcoming costs and negotiate. Sellers use them to find and fix issues before listing and avoid surprises during a sale. Either way, knowing the roof's condition early helps you make better decisions.

Inspection Before Repair, Replacement, or a New Roof

A good inspection makes every later quote more accurate. It shows whether you need a residential roofing repair, a full residential roofing replacement, or, for new builds and additions, a residential roofing installation. Starting with an inspection helps you avoid paying for work you don't need.

Signs Your Roof Needs an Inspection Now

• Water stains or peeling paint on ceilings and walls
• Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
• Shingle granules in gutters or around the house
• Daylight visible through the attic ceiling
• Musty smells or moisture in the attic
• Sagging or uneven areas on the roofline
• Higher energy bills that aren't explained by usage

What Affects the Cost of a Roof Inspection?

• Roof size and pitch: larger and steeper roofs take more time and safety setup.
• Roofing material: asphalt, metal, and tile each need a different approach.
• Accessibility: tree cover, tight access, and complex rooflines add time.
• Purpose of the inspection: routine checks, storm assessments, and pre-sale reviews may call for different levels of detail.

Call (607) 247-9580 and we'll explain what's included and what to expect before you book.

Gutters Are Part of the Check

Gutters carry water away from the roof edge and your foundation. If we find gutters that are sagging, leaking, or beyond cleaning, we'll let you know. You can read more on our gutter replacement page.
