When You Actually Need an Inspection

Three situations make a roof inspection worth scheduling. Post-storm — after any hail event larger than a quarter or any wind event over 60 mph. The damage is often invisible from the ground but it’s eating into the roof’s remaining life and may be insurance-claimable. Pre-purchase — before closing on a Huntsville-area home. The remaining-life estimate tells you whether you’re inheriting a $1,500 repair or a $25,000 replacement. Annual maintenance — for homeowners who want to catch flashing failures, pipe-boot cracks, or wear patterns before they become leaks. None of these inspections cost anything. You get the written report regardless of whether you ever hire us.

What’s in the Inspection

We climb the roof (no drone-only inspections — we look up close), walk the attic if accessible, and photograph every concern. The written report includes dated photos of each issue, a plain-English description of what’s happening and why, a remaining-life estimate, and a recommended timeline for any repairs or maintenance. For storm damage we include hail strike counts and wind-uplift documentation in the format insurance carriers expect. For pre-purchase we include a buyer-focused summary you can share with your real estate agent or use to negotiate the offer. Everything is sent to you as a PDF you keep.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the inspection really free with no obligation?

Yes. You keep the written report whether you hire us for follow-up work or not. We earn the work when the report shows you need it — not by pressuring you on the porch.

How long does an inspection take?

Most single-family inspections take 30-60 minutes on site, plus 24-48 hours to deliver the written PDF report.

Do you use drones?

No. Drones can spot obvious damage but miss the bruised-mat hail damage and lifted-seal shingles that actually matter. We climb the roof.

Can the inspection report be used for a real estate transaction?

Yes. The pre-purchase inspection report is formatted for sharing with your agent and is admissible as documentation in negotiations.

How often should I get my roof inspected?

After any major storm event, before buying a home, and once a year for asphalt roofs older than 10 years.
