What We Look At
The report covers the parts of the roof that decide whether it keeps water out.
Roof Surface
Tile, shingle, membrane or metal is checked for cracks, slippage, granule loss, blistering and wear patterns.
Flashing and Penetrations
Vents, skylights, chimneys, valleys and wall tie-ins are examined for open seams and failed sealant.
Drainage
Gutters, scuppers, drains and low spots on flat roofs are reviewed for ponding and blockage.
Underlayment Signs
Where it can be seen, we note the condition of the layer under the roof surface.
Attic Indicators
When accessible, we look for moisture trails, daylight and stained decking.
Prior Repairs
Past patches and their condition are recorded so you know what has been done.
When an Inspection Makes Sense
People book an inspection for a few common reasons.
- Buying or selling a home and wanting an independent roof opinion on paper.
- After a monsoon storm or high wind, to document whether anything changed.
- Before the roof is scheduled for a repair or replacement, to confirm the scope.
- To support an insurance conversation with photos and dated notes, without any promise about coverage.
- As routine maintenance so small defects are caught early.

Your Roof Inspection Questions, Answered
Do you charge for a roof inspection?
Yes. A roof inspection is a paid service. We do offer free estimates for repair and replacement work, which are a different thing.
What is the difference between a roof inspection and an estimate?
An inspection documents the condition of the roof. An estimate prices specific work. You can request an estimate without an inspection.
How much does an inspection cost?
Call (480) 877-1643 and we will quote it based on the roof type and size. We do not publish a flat price here.
What will I receive after the inspection?
A written report with photos of what we found, organized by area of the roof, with notes on urgency.
How long does an inspection take?
Most single-family inspections take a fraction of a day, depending on roof size, pitch and access.
Do I need to be home?
Not always, but it helps. We need access to the roof and, ideally, the attic, and we are glad to explain findings in person.
Can you inspect before I buy a house in Phoenix?
Yes. A pre-purchase inspection gives you an independent record of the roof's condition to discuss during negotiations.
Is the report useful when I am selling?
Yes. A documented report can answer buyer questions about the roof and help you decide whether to repair anything first.
Should I get an inspection after a monsoon storm?
It is a good idea if you see missing material, hear a leak or simply want a record. Hidden damage is not always visible from the ground.
Can the report help with an insurance claim?
It provides dated photos and notes you can share with your insurer. Coverage is the insurer's decision and we cannot promise one.
Do you inspect tile roofs?
Yes. Tile inspections include checking for cracked or slipped pieces and signs that the underlayment below is aging.
Do you inspect flat roofs?
Yes. We check seams, blisters, flashing, drains and ponding areas on low-slope roofs.
Do you walk the roof?
Where it is safe and will not damage the material, yes. On fragile surfaces we may use other methods, including photos from ladders and elevated positions.
Will you try to sell me a replacement?
The report states what we found. If work is needed, we can offer a free estimate, but there is no obligation.
How often should a Phoenix roof be inspected?
Once a year and after any major storm is a common recommendation. Older roofs benefit from closer attention.
Does the inspection find every possible leak?
No inspection can promise that. We document what is observable and flag areas that may need further testing.
Are your inspectors licensed?
The company license is Arizona ROC #355034, which the Registrar of Contractors lists publicly.
Can I use the report with another contractor?
Yes. The report is yours, and other contractors can use it to price the work.
Is a home inspector's roof check the same thing?
General home inspections include a limited roof review. A roofing inspection goes deeper into the roof system itself.
How do I book?
Call (480) 877-1643 and tell us the address, roof type and what prompted the request.
