Homeowners often wait until there’s an active leak to think about roof inspections — but most serious roofing
problems begin long before water enters the home. A professional inspection helps you understand the true condition
of your roof so you can make informed decisions before repairs, insurance claims, or replacements become urgent.
At Inspector Roofing and Restoration, inspections are designed to educate first, not pressure you.
Should I get my roof inspected if I don’t see a leak? +
Yes. Wind-lifted shingles, loose flashing, damaged pipe boots, and hail bruising often don’t cause immediate
leaks. These issues worsen over time. An inspection helps catch problems early and gives you options instead
of surprises.
Free vs paid inspection — what’s the difference? +
A free inspection is usually a condition check to identify visible issues. A paid inspection may include
detailed measurements, photos, and written reports. The right choice depends on whether you need maintenance
guidance, storm documentation, or a second opinion.
What do roof inspectors actually check? +
Professional inspections evaluate shingles, flashing, valleys, vents, pipe boots, chimneys, skylights,
penetrations, fasteners, ventilation, and signs of wind or hail damage — not just what’s visible from the ground.
Drone inspection vs ladder — which is better? +
Drones provide safe, high-resolution roof overviews, especially on steep or complex roofs. Ladder inspections
allow close-up verification. The best inspectors use the right tool for your roof, not a one-size-fits-all method.
