Good times to book

Five moments a roof inspection pays off.

After high wind or hail. Storm damage hides on the upper slopes and insurers set deadlines for reporting it. If a storm is why you’re reading this, our storm damage repair team handles the claim paperwork too.

Before you buy or list a home. Buyers’ home inspectors call out the roof early, and it can swing a negotiation by thousands. Walk in knowing its true condition and how many years it has left.

When you spot a stain, a drip or a musty smell. By the time water marks a ceiling, it has been working through the roof layers for a while. Finding the entry point now keeps the repair small.

Every few years once a roof passes ten. Chesapeake Bay humidity, summer UV and coastal wind wear shingles out faster than the wrapper promises. A roof that looks fine from the driveway can be older than it seems.

Before filing a shingle warranty claim. Manufacturers want proof. Our report is dated and photographed, which is exactly what they ask for.

Our inspection checklist

We look at the roof from above and below.

What most inspectors never see

Attic and decking

From inside the attic we check the plywood decking for rot, pinholes of daylight, water stains, wet insulation and mildew. Many of the costly problems live up here, and it is the step most so-called free inspections leave out.
01

Shingle condition

Bald spots from granule loss, curled or cracked tabs, blisters, broken seal strips and wind lift, plus a realistic estimate of how many seasons the shingles have left.
02

Flashing details

Chimney counter flashing, step flashing along sidewalls and dormers, skylight surrounds and kick-out flashing at the eaves. These metal joints are where most roof leaks begin.
03

Valleys, pipe boots and vents

We check valley metal, packed debris and the ice and water shield beneath it, then every pipe boot, vent and satellite mount through the deck. Rubber boots usually crack somewhere between year 10 and 15.
04

Ridge, edges and drainage

Ridge caps and ridge vent seating, drip edge, and wind lift along exposed runs. We also confirm water actually drains into the gutters instead of rotting the fascia behind them.
The step others guess at

Attic ventilation

Clear ridge vents, open soffit intake, and bathroom and kitchen fans that vent outdoors instead of dumping moist air into the attic.

Roof inspection cost

Free, with nothing hidden in the fine print.

You pay nothing for the visit or the estimate. There is no trip charge and no diagnostic fee, and that stays true whether or not you hire us.

Every photo is yours to keep. Want a second opinion from another roofer? You’ll have the evidence in hand to get one, and we think that’s how it should work.

Sometimes the answer is nothing. If your roof has plenty of life left, we tell you so in writing. That honesty costs us a job today and earns us the call when the roof truly is done.

Why homeowners trust our inspections

The roofer who climbs your roof is the roofer who would fix it.

A lot of free roof inspections in Southern Maryland are a lap around the yard followed by a sales pitch. They never leave the shingle surface, so rotted decking and bad ventilation, the failures that cost real money, go unnoticed. We go into the attic every time, because that is where those problems show up first.

We won’t invent urgency either. If your roof has eight solid years left, that is what goes in your report, even though it means no job for us this year. Plenty of homeowners we talked out of an early replacement called us back when the roof actually needed it. Your report is dated, organized slope by slope, and ready for an insurance adjuster or a buyer’s agent. We are family owned on Baptist Church Road in Mechanicsville, GAF Certified and licensed under MHIC #151744.

FAQ

Roof inspection questions.

Prefer to talk it over first? Give us a call.

Is your roof inspection actually free?

Yes. No trip charge, no diagnostic fee, and the photos are yours even if you never hire us. The one exception is a formal roof certification a lender or real estate deal requires, which has a fee, and we’ll tell you before we start if that’s what you need.

Plan on about forty-five minutes to an hour for a typical house, attic included. Big or complicated roofs take a little longer.

It’s best if you are, so we can go over the photos together. If you can’t make it, we’ll call you afterward and send the full report.

Almost always, since a roof can’t be judged properly from the ground. If the pitch is too steep or conditions aren’t safe, we’ll explain why and use another method rather than risk injury or damage.

Photos of each slope and every issue, an honest estimate of remaining roof life and a clear recommendation. If work is needed, you also get an itemized written quote with the photos attached.

No. We report what the roof needs, and sometimes that’s nothing. If a repair will do the job, that’s what we recommend.

Yes. It’s dated, photographed slope by slope and laid out the way adjusters review claims. If you have fresh storm damage, visit our storm damage repair page first, because that claim has its own steps.

Most inspections are booked within the week. If water is coming into your home right now, tell us when you call and we’ll move you to the front of the line.

Related services

Inspections often lead somewhere. A single leak or small area of damage points to roof repair. A roof that has run out of life calls for roof replacement. A healthy roof stays that way longer with regular roof maintenance. And if the report flags overflowing or sagging gutters, our gutter and downspout service can take care of it.

No charge

See your roof's real condition.

About an hour on site, the roof and the attic both checked, and photos of every finding. Free, and no obligation to hire us.
