What’s Included in Your Free Roof Inspection
Most roofing issues don’t start with a dramatic leak — they begin quietly, with small signs that are easy to miss. That’s why our free roof inspection covers every critical detail, inside and out. Whether you’re worried about post-hurricane damage or need an expert opinion before filing an insurance claim, our certified team checks for:
Shingle & Surface Condition
We look for signs of aging or storm damage, including curled, missing, or cracked shingles, granule loss from hail, and lifted edges from high winds. If your shingles are failing, we’ll show you where—and why it matters.
Flashing, Vents & Roof Penetrations
Improperly sealed vents and flashing are a top cause of leaks. We check every roof transition, chimney base, and pipe boot for deterioration, rust, or failed sealant that can lead to water intrusion.
Valleys, Drainage & Gutters
We assess areas where water is supposed to flow. Clogged valleys, backed-up gutters, or damaged fascia can cause water to pool and slowly rot your roof’s edge — often hidden until it’s too late.
Attic Inspection (When Accessible)
Your attic tells the truth about roof health. We look for staining, insulation moisture, sagging sheathing, and mold growth—all signs of leaks or ventilation problems that could require repair or full replacement.
Who Should Schedule a Free Roof Inspection?
Even if your roof looks “fine,” hidden damage can turn into costly repairs. That’s why we recommend a free roof inspection for homeowners across Southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast — especially after a storm or as your roof approaches the 10-year mark.
After Hurricanes or Severe Storms
Wind-driven rain and flying debris can loosen shingles, crack flashing, or let water into your attic — without leaving visible signs. A post-hurricane roof inspection helps catch damage before your insurer’s deadline runs out.
Homes 10+ Years Old
Older shingles are more likely to crack, curl, or lose granules. If your roof is nearing its expected lifespan, an inspection gives you a clear picture — so you can plan for a roof replacement or repairs before issues escalate.
Buyers & Sellers
A roof inspection during the buying or selling process provides confidence to both parties. Sellers can avoid surprises during negotiations, and buyers gain peace of mind knowing the true condition of one of the home’s most expensive systems.
If You See Warning Signs
Stains on your ceiling? Shingle debris in your gutters? These small signs often point to bigger issues. Our inspection identifies the cause — and whether a repair or full replacement is the smarter move.
After Past Insurance Claims or Repairs
Not all contractors do a proper job. We verify the quality of previous storm repairs and check for slow leaks or structural issues that may have been missed.

FAQ – Roof Inspections & Storm Concerns
How often should I schedule a roof inspection?
We recommend an inspection after any major storm and at least once every few years for roofs older 10+ years. Post-hurricane roof inspections are especially important along the Gulf Coast to detect hidden storm-related damage.
Is the roof inspection really free? What’s included?
Yes. Our inspection includes a full exterior check, attic evaluation (if accessible), photo documentation, and a written summary with honest recommendations. There’s no charge and no obligation to hire us afterward.
Do you provide inspection reports for insurance claims?
Absolutely. We specialize in storm damage documentation and offer complete claim support — from detailed reports and photos to meeting with your adjuster on-site if needed.
What if damage is found—am I required to use your company for repairs?
No. Our goal is to provide accurate, pressure-free recommendations. If you choose to work with another contractor, that’s entirely up to you. If you move forward with us, we offer priority repair scheduling and full warranty support.
Do you inspect commercial roofs or only residential homes?
We primarily serve residential properties, but we also inspect low-slope and flat roofing systems such as TPO and modified bitumen found on porches, patios, garages.
