How often should I have my roof inspected?

We recommend annual inspections, plus after any major storm event. In Northern Virginia, the combination of hurricanes, freeze-thaw cycles, and intense UV makes regular inspections especially important.

What does a roof inspection include?

Our 21-point inspection covers shingles/materials, flashing, gutters, ventilation, decking, penetrations (vents, pipes, chimneys), soffit and fascia, and interior signs of water damage.

Roof Inspections

Thorough roof inspections for homeowners, buyers, and insurance claims. Our detailed reports give you a clear picture of your roof's condition.

Regular roof inspections are your first line of defense against costly repairs — especially in Northern Virginia where freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and storm activity accelerate roof aging. Our thorough inspection service examines every component of your roofing system.

Whether you're buying a new home, preparing for hurricane season, or documenting damage for an insurance claim, our detailed inspection reports provide the information you need to make informed decisions. We inspect shingles, flashing, gutters, ventilation, decking integrity, and all penetration points.

What to Expect

A professional roof inspection is a thorough evaluation of your entire roof system — not just a quick glance from the ground. Our inspections typically take 45-90 minutes and cover every component: roofing material condition, flashing integrity at all transitions, ventilation adequacy, gutter and downspout function, soffit and fascia condition, and attic inspection for signs of moisture, inadequate insulation, or structural concerns.

We use a combination of hands-on inspection (walking the roof when safe to do so), drone technology for steep or complex roofs, and infrared moisture detection when warranted. After the inspection, you'll receive a detailed written report with photos documenting every finding, an assessment of your roof's remaining lifespan, and prioritized recommendations for any needed repairs or maintenance.

Seasonal Considerations for Virginia

We recommend scheduling roof inspections at two key times in Northern Virginia: early spring (March) to assess any winter damage and prepare for storm season, and late fall (November) after hurricane season to document any storm-related wear. Additionally, you should schedule an inspection after any significant weather event — hurricane, tropical storm, severe thunderstorm with hail, or sustained high winds over 50 mph. If you're buying or selling a home in Northern Virginia, a roof inspection is essential — our reports are accepted by all major home inspection companies and real estate firms.
