What our roof inspection covers

This is a thorough, top-to-bottom look at your roof system — not a five-minute glance from the driveway. Here is what we check on every visit:

Shingles & granule loss

We look for cracked, curling, lifted or missing shingles and the bald spots and granule buildup that signal an aging roof.

Flashing

Chimneys, valleys and wall junctions are where most leaks start. We check that flashing is sealed, intact and doing its job.

Vents & penetrations

Pipe boots, vents and every roof penetration get inspected for cracked rubber, gaps and failing seals.

Gutters & drainage

We check that water is moving off and away from your roof, and note any sagging, clogging or granule shedding in the gutters.

Attic signs, where accessible

When we can safely get in, we look for water stains, daylight, mold and insulation issues that point to a hidden problem.

Storm & hail evidence

Iowa weather is hard on roofs. We document hail bruising, wind damage and impact marks that are easy to miss from the ground.

Photo documentation

We photograph everything we find so you can see the condition of your roof with your own eyes — no guesswork.

Written report

You leave with a clear, written summary of what we found and what — if anything — we recommend doing about it.

When to get one

If any of these describe your home, it is worth having your roof looked at:

  • After a storm. Wind and hail damage is often invisible from the ground but can compromise your roof for years. Learn more about storm damage in our area.
  • Your roof is 15+ years old. Most asphalt roofs are on the back half of their life by then and deserve a check-up.
  • Before buying or selling. An honest inspection protects your investment and gives you real leverage at the negotiating table.
  • You see sagging or leaks. Visible dips, water stains on the ceiling or drips in the attic mean something needs attention now.

Storm damage & insurance

If a storm hit your home, our job is to inspect and document. We climb the roof, photograph the damage and put it in writing so you have a clear record of exactly what happened. From there, you file and manage the claim with your insurance company — it is your policy and your call. When your adjuster comes out, we are glad to meet them on-site and walk them through the repairs your roof needs. We make sure nothing legitimate gets overlooked, while you stay in control of the process.

What happens after the inspection

A written report

You get a plain-English summary of your roof’s condition, backed by the photos we took, so you can make a decision on your own timeline.

Honest advice

If a repair will get you years more life, we will tell you. If it is time for a new roof, we will explain why — straight, no pressure.

No obligation

There is never any pressure to move forward. The inspection is yours to keep, whether you hire us or not.

Frequently asked questions

Is the roof inspection really free?

Yes. There is no cost and no obligation. We would rather build a relationship than push a sale, so we inspect, document and give you honest advice at no charge.

How long does it take?

Most inspections take 30 to 60 minutes depending on the size and complexity of your roof. We will walk you through what we found before we leave and follow up with your written report.

Do I need to be home?

It helps if you are, so we can review the photos and findings with you in person, but it is not required. Either way you will receive your written report. Not sure your roof needs it? Read the signs you need a new roof in Iowa.
