The Full Scope

Types Of Roof Inspections We Perform

Whether you're buying a home, filing an insurance claim, or just keeping up with maintenance, every inspection follows the same honest, no-pressure process.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

Buying a home in Wilmington? We inspect the roof before you close so you know its real condition and remaining life, not just what the seller tells you.

Insurance Inspection

Storm-damage documentation formatted the same way an adjuster reviews a claim, with dated photos and a written report that supports your claim instead of working against it.

Routine Maintenance Inspection

An annual or post-storm check of shingles, flashing, and ventilation that catches small problems while they're still small repairs, not full replacements.

Storm-Damage Inspection

A focused assessment after wind or hail events to identify damage that qualifies for insurance coverage before it turns into an active leak.

Attic & Deck Check

We go inside the attic to check for moisture, daylight, and soft decking, the places roof failure actually starts, not just what's visible from the ground.

Photo Report

A clear written report with photos of every issue found, ranked by urgency, so you know exactly what needs attention now versus what to monitor.

Roof Inspection FAQ

Common Questions

When do I need a roof inspection?+

Before buying a home, after any major wind or hail event, once a year as routine maintenance, or anytime you notice a leak, missing shingles, or granules in the gutters. If in doubt, an inspection costs you nothing to find out.

What's checked during a roof inspection?+

Shingles, flashing, valleys, boots, and ridge and soffit ventilation on the exterior, plus the attic and decking from inside for moisture, daylight, or soft spots. That's where roof failure actually starts, not just what's visible from the ground.

Is the inspection free or paid?+

Our roof inspections are free for homeowners, and you get the written report whether or not any work is needed. We never charge just to tell you the condition of your roof.

How long does a roof inspection take?+

Most inspections take 30 to 60 minutes on site, depending on roof size and access to the attic. Pre-purchase and insurance inspections may take slightly longer since we document everything in more detail for the report.

What happens after the inspection?+

You get a written photo report ranking any issues by urgency. If work is needed, we follow up with a free, itemized estimate for repair or replacement. Many inspections end with a simple monitor-and-recheck recommendation, not a sales pitch.

Do insurance companies require a roof inspection?+

After a storm, most insurers expect a documented inspection to support a claim. We format our storm-damage inspections the same way an adjuster reviews damage, with dated photos and a written report that supports your claim.
