  • What to expect during a roof inspection

    When you call us for a roofing inspection, you’ll be greeted by a friendly specialist that will schedule you for your inspection. Then, a licensed roof inspector will visit your home and provide a complete inspection that follows rigorous guidelines to ensure the very best for our customers. It starts with a visual check of the roof from the ground and a careful inspection of each of the roofing components including shingles, fascia, soffit, drains, gutters, vents, flashings and more. Once the inspection is complete, we’ll provide a recommendation for repairs or restoration, depending on the severity of the damage.

  • Why you need a professional

    As one of the main components of your home, no roofing problem is a small problem. It protects you from the elements that may include high winds, rain, hail, tree limbs and more. Because of this, it’s important that you have a professional handle your roof inspection. There may be other things besides cosmetic problems to worry about, and only a professional will have the knowledge to identify these things.

  • Roof inspection cost

    The cost of your roof inspection is free! However, there may be other costs associated if your roof should require repair, restoration or replacement services. Before performing any service, our roofers will provide you with a detailed estimate of the damage, the services recommended and the price required to complete those services.
