Inspector Roofing & Restoration did not appear overnight, nor was it created from a single idea or moment in time. What exists today is the culmination of more than three and a half decades spent working inside the roofing, construction, inspection, and storm restoration industries.
While the company name may be modern, the experience behind it reaches back to a time when roofing was learned through direct labor, mentorship, and accountability. Long before digital inspections, online reviews, or manufacturer certification programs, roofing was built on reputation — and that foundation still matters today.
The earliest years of experience behind Inspector Roofing & Restoration began in the late 1980s, when residential roofing was still largely a manual trade. Installers learned by working alongside experienced craftsmen, understanding materials by handling them, and recognizing failure points by seeing what went wrong on older roofs.
During this period, asphalt shingles, underlayments, flashing, and ventilation systems were far less standardized than they are today. Manufacturers like Owens Corning were already established leaders in roofing materials, but proper installation depended heavily on the skill and judgment of the installer.
These early years created an understanding that still guides our inspections today: roofs rarely fail because of one dramatic mistake — they fail because of small details ignored over time.
As the roofing industry evolved through the 1990s, so did the experience behind Inspector Roofing & Restoration. Roofing systems became more complex, building codes advanced, and manufacturers introduced improved materials designed to increase durability and weather resistance.
This era required roofers to become students of construction science — understanding ventilation dynamics, moisture movement, structural decking, and how regional climate affects roofing performance. Organizations such as the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) began publishing best practices that emphasized professionalism and continuing education.
Rather than focusing solely on installation, this period marked a shift toward diagnosis and evaluation — understanding not just how to build a roof, but how to assess its condition accurately.
By the early 2000s, storm damage restoration became a significant part of residential roofing. Severe weather events increased in frequency and intensity, and homeowners were increasingly reliant on insurance claims to repair or replace damaged roofing systems.
This introduced an entirely new layer of complexity. Roofing professionals were now required to document damage clearly, understand policy language, and communicate findings in a way that insurance carriers could evaluate.
Experience during this time included working with weather data from organizations like NOAA and studying impact resistance research from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) . These resources helped shape inspection methods that were evidence-based rather than opinion-based.
This period solidified a core principle that defines Inspector Roofing & Restoration today: an accurate inspection is more valuable than a fast installation.
As the roofing industry entered the 2010s, technology changed how inspections and projects were documented. Digital photography, detailed reporting, manufacturer specifications, and building code references became essential tools for professionals.
Rather than replacing experience, these tools enhanced it. Decades of hands-on knowledge allowed inspections to be more thorough, reports to be more accurate, and recommendations to be more reliable.
Manufacturer systems — including complete roofing assemblies from companies like Owens Corning — emphasized that performance depends on every component working together: shingles, underlayment, ventilation, flashing, and proper installation.
Inspector Roofing & Restoration was created to bring everything learned over 35+ years into one focused company: inspection-driven roofing, storm restoration, and long-term solutions.
The goal was not to reinvent roofing, but to apply decades of accumulated experience in a way that benefits homeowners navigating increasingly complex roofing decisions.
By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern documentation and manufacturer standards, Inspector Roofing & Restoration represents the most refined evolution of that experience.
Many companies define themselves by what is popular today. Inspector Roofing & Restoration is defined by what has endured for decades: sound construction principles, honest inspections, and accountability after the work is complete.
Over 35 years in the industry provides perspective that cannot be replicated quickly. It allows us to recognize patterns, anticipate problems, and recommend solutions that are designed for longevity rather than short-term convenience.
Roofing is not a purchase most homeowners make often. When the time comes, experience matters — not just years in business, but years spent learning, adapting, and refining the work.
Inspector Roofing & Restoration exists because of that time. It reflects lessons learned across decades, storms weathered, and standards upheld long after projects were completed.
That history is not something we claim lightly. It is something we continue to build on, one inspection and one roof at a time.
