What does a roof inspection involve?
We look at the field shingles, ridges, valleys, flashings, penetrations, and drainage. When access allows, we also check the attic for damp insulation, daylight, and staining that points to old or active leaks.
You get a clear summary: urgent items, recommended repairs, and an honest note if the roof is near replacement. If you want us to do the work, the inspection feeds a free repair or replacement estimate.
When should you schedule an inspection?
- Before closing on a Weston home.
- After a windy week when tabs look lifted.
- When a buyer or insurer asks for a condition report.
- Every few years on an aging asphalt roof, even without a visible leak.
What do we look for on local roofs?
Heat blistering, granule loss, brittle ridges, open pipe boots, and wall flashings that pulled away from stucco are common here. We also watch for ponding on low-slope sections and clogged gutters that keep water against the eaves.
What affects inspection scope and follow-up cost?
The inspection itself is a look-and-report visit. Follow-up cost depends on what we find — a few boots and tabs versus a full slope failure. We separate the findings from the repair quote so you can decide without pressure.
Inspection versus guessing from the ground
Binoculars from the driveway miss soft decking and attic moisture. A proper inspection gets eyes on the roof and, when possible, above the ceiling. That is how you avoid buying a house with a two-year roof left or skipping a cheap fix that would have stopped a big leak.
Roof inspection FAQs
Do you go in the attic?
When there is safe access, yes. Attic clues often confirm what the exterior suggests.
Will you climb a steep roof?
We inspect what we can reach safely. Extreme pitches may be reviewed from eaves, windows, and drone-free ground methods if climbing is unsafe that day.
Can you inspect before I buy?
Yes. Many clients book during contingency periods. Call early so we can fit the visit into your timeline.
If you find problems, do I have to hire you?
No. The report is yours. If you want us to repair or replace, we quote that separately.
