What Happens During a Roof Inspection?

All Articles

Wondering what happens during a professional roof inspection? PRC 13 explains each step—from scheduling and on-roof assessment to your written findings—for Sacramento homeowners.

Short answer: you schedule a visit, our roofing team inspects the roof and attic, then we walk you through findings and provide a written summary. PRC 13 does not pressure you into work you do not need.

Step 1: Schedule Your Inspection

Call or submit the form on our contact page. Most Sacramento homeowners are scheduled within 24 hours. Tell us about leaks, storm damage, or age concerns so we know what to prioritize.

Step 2: On-Site Assessment

  • Exterior review of shingles, tile, or metal and their attachment
  • Flashing, pipe boots, chimneys, skylights, and valleys
  • Gutters, fascia, and drainage paths
  • Attic inspection for moisture, ventilation, and decking condition when accessible

Step 3: Walkthrough and Written Findings

We explain what we found in plain language—repair, maintenance, replacement, or no action. You receive documentation you can use for insurance, real estate, or future planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most residential inspections take 30 to 60 minutes depending on roof size, pitch, and whether attic access is available.

When it is safe, yes. Our crew inspects the field, edges, valleys, and penetrations on the roof surface. We avoid unsafe conditions on wet or steep slopes.

It helps to be available for the walkthrough afterward, but we can coordinate access if you cannot be present for the full visit.

Yes. PRC 13 provides written findings summarizing condition, issues, and recommendations. Photos are included when relevant for insurance or repair planning.

No. If a repair is enough, we say so. If the roof is in good shape, we say that too. Our reputation is built on honest assessments.
