What's included

What's included in a roof inspection?

Every vetted pro does the job by the book, so it's done right the first time.

A full roof check

Your pro climbs up and checks shingles, flashing, vents, and seals — every spot a leak can start.

Attic and ceiling check

They look inside too, for hidden leaks, stains, and damp spots. Many problems hide where you cannot see them.

A clear written report

You get photos and plain-English notes on what is fine and what needs work — so you can plan with no surprises.

An honest answer

No scare tactics, no fake problems. A vetted pro tells you the truth, so you only pay for what you really need.
