Roof Inspection
Know Exactly What You're Dealing With
A professional inspection from a licensed roofer, not a salesperson. We'll tell you exactly what condition your roof is in and what, if anything, needs attention.
Comprehensive
What We Check During Your Roof Inspection
Our inspection covers every part of the roofing system, not just a quick visual walk. We document findings clearly and explain your options.
Shingle Condition
We check for granule loss, curling edges, cracks, blistering, and missing sections across the full roof surface.
Flashing & Seals
Chimney, vent, and skylight flashing failures are the most common leak source. We check every penetration.
Deck & Structural
Signs of rot, soft spots, and sagging decking that indicate structural issues beneath the shingles.
Gutters & Drainage
We review gutters, downspouts, and slope because poor drainage can speed up roof wear and fascia rot.
Attic Ventilation
Improper attic airflow causes premature shingle failure from heat buildup. We check ventilation as part of every inspection.
Age & Remaining Life
Based on material type, visible wear, and Sacramento climate patterns, we estimate remaining useful life.
Why It Matters
Catch Small Problems Before They Become Big Ones
Most roof failures don't happen overnight. They often start as minor issues like a cracked shingle, failed flashing, or a small membrane split that goes undetected for years. By the time water appears inside your home, the damage may have already spread to the decking, insulation, or structure below.
A free inspection by a licensed contractor costs you nothing and can prevent thousands of dollars in damage. We recommend Sacramento homeowners inspect their roofs every 2 to 3 years, or after any significant storm. When damage is active, see our emergency roof repair page or read about inspections after storms.
We serve homeowners across Sacramento, Folsom, and El Dorado Hills. Need repair instead of inspection? Visit roof repair or contact us to schedule.
- Ideal before buying or selling a home

Preventative Maintenance
