When to Schedule a Roof Inspection
Regular Maintenance Recommendation
We recommend having your roof professionally inspected at least once every 2 years for most residential properties, and annually for commercial buildings or homes in areas with extreme weather conditions.
In addition to regular maintenance inspections, you should schedule a roof inspection:
Being proactive about roof inspections can save you significant money by identifying small issues before they develop into major problems requiring extensive repairs or premature roof replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof inspection cost?
The cost of a roof inspection varies depending on the size and complexity of your roof, the type of inspection needed, and your location in Southern California. Our basic residential roof inspections typically range from $250-$500, while commercial inspections may cost more due to the larger size and complexity. We provide a clear quote before scheduling your inspection, and the cost of the inspection can often be applied toward any recommended repairs or services if you choose to work with us.
How long does a roof inspection take?
Most residential roof inspections take 1-2 hours to complete, while larger or more complex roofs may require additional time. Commercial roof inspections typically take 2-4 hours depending on the size and complexity of the building. The inspection process includes a thorough examination of the exterior roof surface, interior spaces (such as attics), and structural components, followed by documentation and report preparation.
Do I need to be present for the roof inspection?
While it's not absolutely necessary for you to be present during the entire inspection, we recommend being available at the beginning to discuss any specific concerns you have, and at the end to review preliminary findings. If you can't be present, we can arrange to conduct the inspection and provide a detailed report afterward, followed by a phone consultation to discuss the findings and recommendations.
Will the inspection damage my roof?
No, our inspection methods are designed to be non-invasive and will not cause damage to your roof. Our experienced inspectors use careful techniques to examine all components of your roof without causing harm to the materials or structure. In some cases, very minor lifting of shingles or tiles may be necessary to inspect underlying components, but this is done with extreme care to avoid any damage.
What's included in the inspection report?
Our comprehensive inspection reports include detailed documentation of your roof's current condition, including high-resolution photographs of any issues identified, measurements and diagrams as needed, an assessment of the roof's estimated remaining lifespan, and prioritized recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance. The report is typically delivered within 24-48 hours of the inspection and includes clear explanations of all findings in easy-to-understand language.
