Complimentary Roof Inspection — Baton Rouge, Louisiana
A proper roof inspection does more than glance at shingles. We document slopes, valleys, penetrations, roof-to-wall transitions on brick, attic ventilation, and deck condition — then deliver photos and a written scope you can approve with confidence. If a recent storm triggered concerns, review our storm damage roof restoration overview to see how we move from inspection to a lasting fix built for Baton Rouge weather.
What’s included in your free roof inspection
You’ll get a structured checkup and a report you can actually read — photos, moisture notes, and options for repair or replacement.
Visual scan from the ground and roof — ridges, valleys, hips, and high-wear zones after heavy rain.
Roof-to-wall transitions on brick — step and counter flashing, reglets, and kick-outs at siding returns.
Penetrations — pipe boots, vents, skylights, satellite brackets, and prior tar “patches.”
Deck health — soft spots, delamination, nail pops, and sagging lines along valleys or eaves.
Ventilation math — intake vs. exhaust, blocked soffits, and ridge vent condition.
Gutters and edges — drip edge laps, back-flashing, and signs of backsplash around foundations.
Interior spot-check (when appropriate) — attic moisture, daylight leaks, and insulation condition.
After the site visit, we assemble a photo album and a line-item proposal — repair vs. reroof — with clear pricing and timing windows.
When an inspection is the right first step
If you’re unsure whether repair or replacement makes sense, the fastest way to clarity is a documented inspection — not guesses or phone quotes. It’s especially useful when you notice any of the following.
Stains on ceilings that spread after storms — or slow drips from recessed lights.
Shingle blow-offs, lifted tabs, or granules piling in gutters.
Recurring leaks at chimneys, skylights, or porch tie-ins on brick walls.
A hot, musty attic — a sign ventilation is cooking the deck.
15–20+ years on an existing shingle roof with unknown installation practices.
If the roof ultimately needs replacement, our Baton Rouge hub explains your options: roof replacement & installation in Baton Rouge.
What to expect on the day of inspection
We respect your time and property — a clean, safe visit and a clear next step.
Arrival & safety setup — ladder ties, access checks, and a quick plan for photos.
Exterior review — slopes, valleys, penetrations, flashing, edges, and gutters.
Attic spot-check — moisture and ventilation (when safe and accessible).
Debrief — walk you through key photos and immediate risks.
Written report — repair vs. reroof options, timing, and warranty notes delivered the same day or next morning.
If we find active leaks, we can recommend temporary dry-in or tarping and, if needed, transition you into storm restoration measures until permanent work begins.

A shareable photo album labeled by roof area and detail.
Moisture and ventilation notes with recommendations.
A line-item proposal — targeted repair vs. complete reroof — with code and manufacturer requirements spelled out.
Scheduling windows and what weather we need to do the work safely.
FAQ — Free Roof Inspection (Baton Rouge)
Do you actually get on the roof?
Yes — when safe. If weather or pitch makes that unsafe, we document with telephoto and reschedule a follow-up climb.
Will you go into the attic?
When accessible and safe, yes. Attic moisture and ventilation tell a big part of the story.
How long does the inspection take?
Typically 30–60 minutes for a single-family home, plus time to assemble your report.
Will you try to sell a full replacement no matter what?
No. If a targeted repair solves the problem, we’ll show photos and price it accordingly. If the roof is at end-of-life, we’ll explain why and offer options.
Can you meet my insurance adjuster?
Yes. We provide photos and scope notes and can meet the adjuster to align on code and manufacturer requirements.
