Uncovering Problems Before They Become Leaks

Whether you're buying a new home, selling a commercial property, or verifying storm damage after a storm event, a certified physical roof inspection is crucial.

Our inspectors physically climb your roof (unlike general home inspectors who often inspect from the ground with binoculars). We walk the ridges, check every valley, pull up overlapping tabs to check nails, and inspect the seals on pipe boot membranes.

After our inspection, we provide a complete visual report with annotated photos, detailing any repairs required or estimating the remaining life expectancy of the roofing system.

Inspection Checklist

Frequently Asked Questions

Roof leaks can take months to manifest internally. Hail strikes bruise the asphalt matting of shingles, causing protective mineral granules to loosen. High winds can lift shingles, breaking their sealant bond. A professional inspection detects these micro-damages early, allowing you to address repairs or file a timely insurance claim before structural rot or mold develops.

Our inspectors perform a comprehensive diagnostic check, evaluating the shingles (checking for cracks, curls, or granule loss), testing the valley liners, checking the flashing around chimneys, dormers, and vent pipes, inspecting the gutters, and assessing the attic ventilation and insulation. We compile our findings into a detailed digital report with photos.

No, we provide 100% free, no-obligation roof inspections for all residential and commercial property owners in Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley. Whether you suspect storm damage, want to check your roof's condition, or need an estimate for repairs, we will visit your property and deliver a transparent assessment at zero cost.

We recommend having your roof inspected at least once a year, preferably in the fall before winter storms, or immediately following any severe wind, hail, or tornado events. Regular inspections allow you to catch minor issues like cracked pipe boots or loose shingles before they turn into major, expensive attic leaks.

Yes, we provide certified roof inspections for real estate transactions. If you are buying a home and want to verify the roof's condition, or selling a home and need to certify its lifespan, we can perform an inspection and provide a detailed written report outlining the roof's current state, estimated remaining life, and any recommended repairs.

Hail damage leaves circular, bruised indentations in the shingle where the granules have been blasted away, exposing the dark asphalt mat underneath. Wind damage causes shingles to lift, crease, or tear. Our inspectors are trained to identify these specific storm markers, helping separate storm damage from normal wear and tear to support your insurance claim.

Our inspectors perform physical walk-throughs, checking valleys and flashings closely. For hard-to-access roofs, steep pitches, or large commercial properties, we also utilize drone cameras to capture high-definition photos of the entire roof deck, ensuring we get a complete and safe diagnostic view of your property.

Yes. If our inspection reveals covered storm damage, we compile a detailed digital report complete with high-resolution photos, close-ups of hail strikes, and a line-item estimate. This documentation is structured to match insurance guidelines, helping speed up your claim process. We can also meet your adjuster on-site.

A standard residential roof inspection takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete, depending on the size and complexity of your roof. Our inspector will walk the roof, check all flashing, inspect the attic if accessible, compile the photo report, and then sit down with you to explain the findings and answer any questions.

If we find any issues, we will provide a clear, transparent written estimate outlining your repair options. There is no obligation to hire us. If you decide to proceed, we will schedule our repair crew to patch the shingles, seal the flashings, or replace the damaged sections using matching materials to restore your roof's integrity.
