A proper look at your roof, photographs of everything we find, and a straight answer about what it actually needs — including when the answer is nothing yet.
Most people call us because something looks wrong and they have no idea how bad it is. The inspection exists to answer that, not to sell you a roof.
We’d rather tell you it has five years left and earn the replacement later than sell you something you don’t need today. Customers tell us the straight talking is the part they remember.
What we look at
Shingle condition — granule loss, curling, cracking and creasing
All flashing: chimney, walls, valleys and skylights
Pipe boots, vents and every other penetration
Decking condition, including soft spots underfoot
Attic check for daylight, staining and damp insulation
Wind damage rarely announces itself from the ground. Lifted or creased shingles can sit there for months before the first leak shows up inside.
Buying or selling
A roof is one of the first things that comes up in negotiation. Knowing its real condition before you list, or before you close, is worth having in writing.
It’s getting on
If your roof is somewhere around the twenty-year mark, it’s worth knowing how much life is genuinely left rather than waiting to find out in a storm.
Before solar goes on
Panels are designed to sit there for decades. Putting them over a roof with a few years left means paying to remove and refit the whole array later.
On The Day
What actually happens
01
We turn up
At a time that suits you. You don’t need to be home, though plenty of people prefer to be.
02
We go up
A full walk of the roof surface, every penetration and all the flashing — not a look from the driveway.
03
We photograph
Everything we find gets a picture, so you can see the problem yourself instead of taking our word for it.
04
We tell you straight
Repair, replace, or leave it alone for now. If there’s no work needed, that’s what we’ll say.
No. If your roof has years left in it, we’ll say so and leave. That’s not us being generous — a customer we didn’t oversell is a customer who calls us when they genuinely do need work, and who tells their neighbors about us.
Not necessarily. Most of the inspection happens on the roof and outside. If we need to get into the attic — which is often where the useful evidence is — then yes, we’ll need access.
For a typical home, well under an hour. Larger or more complex roofs with lots of hips, valleys and penetrations take longer, because there’s more to check.
You get the photographs of what we found, and a written estimate for any work we recommend. That’s useful for your own records, for a sale, or for an insurance conversation.
If water is coming in right now, call us rather than booking anything — we’re open 24 hours and that needs dealing with today. See emergency roof repair.

Straight answers, not a sales pitch

“They are extremely professional and did not give me the run around like some other roofing company’s. They told me like it is which I appreciated. Extremely thorough and highly educated in what they do. I would defiantly recommend.”
