See What Our Roof Inspections Cover
Shingles & Roof Surface
We examine every aspect of your shingles and roof surface to assess current damage and potential future issues.
Missing or Damaged Shingles
We target cracked, curling, torn, or missing shingles that compromise your roof’s weather protection and can lead to leaks.
Granule Loss
Excessive granule loss indicates aging shingles and reduced UV protection. We assess granule condition to help you understand your roof’s remaining lifespan.
Algae and Moss Growth
Organic growth can trap moisture and accelerate shingle deterioration. We diagnose problem areas and recommend appropriate cleaning or treatment.
Storm Damage
Hail impacts, wind damage, and debris strikes aren’t always obvious. We look for subtle signs of storm damage that could affect your
Structural Components
We assess the structural elements that keep your roof protecting your home.
Flashing Integrity
We carefully inspect all flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, and walls to pinpoint gaps, rust, or improper installation that could allow water intrusion.
Ventilation Assessment
Proper attic ventilation prevents ice dams, extends shingle life, and reduces energy costs. We evaluate your ventilation system and find any deficiencies.
Decking Condition
We look for signs of sagging, water damage, or rot in your roof decking that could indicate structural issues requiring immediate attention.
Gutters and Drainage
Clogged or damaged gutters can cause water to back up under shingles and damage your fascia. We assess your entire drainage system.
Potential Problem Areas
We focus on the most vulnerable areas where leaks and damage are most likely to occur.
Roof Penetrations
Vents, pipes, and other roof penetrations are common sources of leaks. We inspect every penetration for proper sealing and worn rubber boots or gaskets.
Valleys and Low Slopes
Water concentrates in valleys and on low-slope areas, making them more vulnerable to leaks. We check for proper water flow and shingle condition.
Eaves and Overhangs
Ice dams often form at eaves, causing water to back up under shingles. We look for signs of ice dam damage and assess your roof’s vulnerability.
Skylights and Chimneys
These complex roof features require special attention. We inspect all seals, flashing, and counter-flashing to prevent the leaks that commonly occur around these structures.
Step One
Comprehensive Roof Assessment
Your inspection begins with a thorough examination of every accessible area of your roof. Our certified inspectors use a systematic approach to ensure they don’t miss a thing. This provides a clear picture of your roof’s current condition and helps determine both immediate concerns and potential future issues.
Shingle Condition
We examine every inch of your roof for missing, damaged, or aging shingles, noting areas of concern and assessing the remaining lifespan of your roofing materials.
Structural Integrity
Our experts look for signs of sagging, uneven surfaces, or other structural issues that could indicate problems with your roof decking or framing that require immediate attention.
Water Intrusion Signs
We search for evidence of current or past leaks, water staining, and moisture damage that could indicate active problems or areas vulnerable to future leaks.
Weather Damage
Northern Idaho’s harsh winters and summer storms take a toll on roofs, which is why it’s particularly important to keep an eye out for hail, wind, ice dams, and other weather-related damage.
Step Two
Detailed Photo Documentation
We document our findings with clear, high-resolution photos that show you exactly what we see. Every photo is taken from multiple angles so you can see the problem for yourself. You’ll receive all photos as part of your inspection report, organized by area and issue type for easy reference.
Complete Visual Record
We photograph every area of concern, providing visual evidence of damage, wear, or potential problems that help you understand our recommendations.
Insurance Documentation
If your roof has storm damage, we’ll provide the photo documentation you need to support your insurance claim and ensure proper compensation.
Before and After Tracking
The photos create a baseline record of your roof’s condition, allowing you to track changes over time and make informed decisions about repairs and maintenance.
Clear Communication
Photos eliminate confusion so you understand exactly what was found, where the issues are, and why we make specific recommendations for repair, restoration, or replacement.
Step Three
Clear Recommendations & Next Steps
After completing the inspection and documentation, you receive a detailed written report and clear recommendations for next steps. If your roof needs repairs, you’ll get an estimation of costs and timeline options. If your roof qualifies for restoration with Roof Maxx, we’ll explain how that could save you thousands compared to replacement.
Prioritized Action Plan
We categorize all findings during our inspections into three categories: urgent repairs, recommended maintenance, and items to monitor, so you understand what needs attention now and what can be planned for later.
Honest Cost Estimates
You can always count on transparent pricing for any recommended work, with options that fit different budgets and timelines so you can make informed financial decisions.
Preventative Recommendations
We identify potential problems before they become emergencies, giving you the opportunity to address issues proactively and avoid costly damage.
Ongoing Support
We’re available to answer questions, provide clarification, and help you understand your options long after the inspection is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Inspections
Regular roof inspections are one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your home and avoid expensive emergency repairs. Here are answers to the questions we hear from Northern Idaho homeowners.
How often should I have my roof inspected?
We recommend annual roof inspections for most homes, ideally in spring or fall. You should also schedule an inspection after major storms, before buying or selling a home, or if you notice any signs of damage like missing shingles, leaks, or excessive granules in your gutters. Regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
What are the signs that I need a roof inspection?
Common warning signs include water stains on ceilings or walls, missing or damaged shingles, excessive shingle granules in gutters, daylight visible through the roof boards, sagging areas, increased energy bills, or visible damage after storms. Even without obvious signs, regular inspections are important for preventative maintenance.
How long does a roof inspection take?
Most residential roof inspections take 1-2 hours, depending on the size and complexity of your roof. You’ll receive your detailed report with photos within 24-48 hours after the inspection, along with our recommendations and cost estimates for any needed work.
Can a roof inspection help with insurance claims?
Absolutely. Our detailed inspection reports with photo documentation provide the evidence insurance companies need to process storm damage claims. We document all damage thoroughly and can help you understand what your policy covers. Many homeowners don’t realize they have storm damage until a professional inspection reveals it.
What's included in your inspection report?
Your comprehensive report includes high-resolution photos of all findings, a detailed written assessment of your roof’s condition, identification of any damage or issues, prioritized recommendations for repairs or maintenance, estimated costs for recommended work, and an assessment of your roof’s remaining lifespan.
