They did a first-class job all the way through. The assessment was quick, they worked with the insurance company and overall they just did what they said they were going to do.

How it works

How the free roof inspection works

Book it

Fill in the form or call (610) 890-4800, and a time gets set that works for you.

Same day callback

On the roof

Someone gets up on the roof itself, not a look from the driveway with binoculars.

About 30 minutes

Photographs

Everything found is photographed, so you can see the problem yourself rather than take anyone's word for it.

On site

Walk through

If you are home, you get shown the photos and told what they mean before anyone leaves.

On site

Written summary

What was found, what it means, and whether it needs doing now, later, or not for years.

After the visit

Free inspection, photos of what was found, and a straight answer on repair or replace. No obligation.

What you get. A roof-level inspection, photographs of anything found, and a written summary of what it means. It takes about half an hour. It costs nothing, and there's no obligation attached to it, because a roofer who only makes money by selling you a roof shouldn't be the only person who's seen yours.

What gets checked

What someone looks at

Field shingles
Granule loss, cracking, curling, bruising from hail, and whether the mat is still flexible.
Flashing
Chimneys, walls, skylights and valleys. This is where most older roofs fail first.
Pipe boots
The rubber collar around plumbing vents. The single most common source of a residential leak.
Gutters
Granules collecting in the gutters tell you how far through its life the roof is.
Ventilation
Poor airflow cooks shingles from underneath and causes ice dams in winter.
Attic, where it matters
Daylight through the decking, damp sheathing, and staining that shows where water travelled.

When to book one

After a storm, and every few years

Hail rarely looks like anything from the ground. Granules wash into the gutters, the mat bruises where you can't see it, and the roof keeps shedding water for another year like nothing happened.

By the time a stain shows up on a ceiling, the claim window on that storm has usually closed and you're paying for it yourself. That's the reason to look after a storm even when the roof looks fine.

Outside of storms, every three to five years is sensible, and worth doing before you sell.

Insurance and storm inspections

Roof inspection for an insurance claim

After hail or wind, an inspection is the first step before you call your carrier. You get dated photographs of the damage, measured and marked, and a straight answer on whether it matches the storm. If it does not, you hear that too, before a claim goes on your record. How a storm damage claim runs.

Buying or selling a house? A roof inspection before closing tells you how much life is left and what it will cost, so it is a number in the negotiation rather than a surprise after it.

For flat and low slope roofs on businesses, churches, schools and multi-unit buildings, there is a separate free commercial roof inspection.

Straight answers

Questions we get asked

Is it free even if I don't book any work?

Yes, with no obligation and no pressure attached.

Plenty of roofs get looked at and turn out to be fine. That's a useful thing to know and it costs you nothing.

How long does it take?

About 30 minutes for most homes.

Larger or steeper roofs take longer, and attic access adds a few minutes.

Do I need to be home?

It helps, but it isn't required.

Being there means you get walked through the photographs on the spot rather than reading a summary later.

What if you find nothing wrong?

Then you get told that.

A roof with ten years left in it is a roof with ten years left in it. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling.

Can you inspect for an insurance claim?

Yes, and the documentation is put together the way an adjuster expects to receive it.

That's a different process with its own timeline, and it's worth understanding before you file.

Will you try to sell me a new roof?

No. If the roof has years left, you will be told that.

A repair gets recommended when a repair is the right answer, and nothing gets recommended when nothing is needed. The photographs are yours either way.

How often should a roof be inspected?

After any major storm, and every three to five years otherwise.

Also before buying or selling a home, and any time you notice granules in the gutters, a stain on a ceiling, or shingles in the yard.

Half an hour now,
or a ceiling stain later.

Free inspection, photographed, with a straight answer. If the roof is fine, that's what you'll hear.
