Roof Inspection

Not sure what your roof needs? A roof inspection gives you a straight answer — repair, replacement, or nothing at all — with photos of what we find and no pressure either way. Free estimates in Washington, DC.

What we check

What a roof inspection covers

We look at the roof the way water does — starting where leaks actually begin, not just at the shingles you can see from the street:

Shingles and roof surfaceMissing, curling, cracked, or worn shingles, and any soft or sagging areas.
Flashing and seamsChimneys, walls, valleys, vents, and flat-roof seams — where most leaks start.
Flat roofsSeams, drains, ponding, and membrane damage on DC rowhome flat roofs.
Gutters and downspoutsBackups and overflow that push water under the roof edge and into the wood underneath.
Signs of a leak insideCeiling stains and water marks, matched back to the spot on the roof that caused them.

What you get

A straight answer — repair, replacement, or nothing

After the inspection, we show you photos of what we found and tell you plainly what it means. If a repair will do the job, we say so instead of selling you a roof you do not need. If replacement is the honest call, we say that too, and the free estimate spells out exactly what is included. If the roof is fine, we say that — no work sold, no pressure either way.

When to get one

Good times to get your roof inspected

After a big storm, when a leak shows up, when a roof is getting close to 20 years old, when you are buying or selling a house, or before the rainy season — like right now, with rain due November 4–5. A small problem found early is usually a repair. The same problem found after a few more storms is often a bigger job.
