Roof Inspection FAQs
What happens during a roof inspection?
We inspect roof surfaces and leak-prone details (flashing, valleys, penetrations, edges), document issues, and explain what’s needed next.
Will you provide photos?
Yes—photo documentation helps you understand findings and decide confidently.
Can a roof inspection find the source of a leak?
Often, yes. Some leaks are straightforward; others can be more complex. We’ll share what we can confirm and what next step makes sense.
Do I need a roof inspection if I’m not seeing leaks?
Yes—inspections can catch issues early, especially after storms or on aging roofs.
Do I need a permit just for an inspection?
No. Permits are typically tied to the scope of repair or replacement work, not the inspection itself.
