01

Exterior roof and edge review

We check shingles or metal panels, ridges, valleys, flashing, penetrations, pipe boots, skylight edges, gutters and drainage patterns. The goal is to distinguish wear, installation issues, storm indicators and active leak risks.

Typical focus: surface condition, water paths and obvious failure points.
02

Attic, ventilation and moisture clues

When access is available, we look for heat buildup, moisture staining, intake and exhaust balance, deck staining and insulation clues. Many roof problems show up inside before they are obvious from the street.

Useful for: leak tracing, ice-dam patterns and replacement planning.
03

Photo report and damage documentation

Photos are organized so you can see location, severity and context. Close-ups without wide shots are not enough, so we include both whenever conditions allow.

Included with repair, replacement and storm assessments.
04

Repair, replacement or monitor recommendation

We explain the scope in practical terms: urgent repair, planned maintenance, full replacement, phased work or monitoring. Budget ranges and financing conversations can follow once the scope is clear.

No pressure to turn every inspection into a replacement.
05

Installation schedule and final review

If work moves forward, we confirm material selections, weather windows, staging, cleanup expectations and walkthrough steps. Warranty and maintenance notes are reviewed before the project is closed.

Final step: clean site, documented completion and long-term guidance.

What you receive

Documentation that makes the recommendation traceable.

A good roof report should connect the photo, the condition and the recommendation. That keeps small repairs from being dismissed and large replacements from feeling vague.

  • Condition notes for shingles, flashing, ventilation and drainage.
  • Damage photos grouped by location where practical.
  • Repair versus replacement reasoning, not just a price.
  • Scope options for homeowner, commercial or insurance review.
After the inspection

Warranty, maintenance and protection are part of the conversation.

We explain which items are workmanship-related, which belong to manufacturer coverage and which maintenance habits help the roof last. The aim is a roof plan, not a one-time transaction.
