What the Inspection Covers
A thorough roof inspection examines every component of your roofing system.
We document the condition of asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, and three-tab shingles—checking for granule loss, curling, cracks, and UV damage.
We assess underlayment integrity and ice-and-water shield protection beneath your shingles.
Building code compliance is verified, including proper fastener placement, nail conditions, and fastener exposure per manufacturer standards.
Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents prevents water intrusion at vulnerable points. Step flashing, counter-flashing, chimney flashing, pipe boots, and vent boots all wear over time.
We check that these flashings are properly sealed and not corroded or bent.
Your roof's structural elements are critical. Ridge caps, drip edges, valley flashing, and fascia protect the perimeter.
We inspect the roof deck, plywood or OSB sheathing, and underlying rafters or trusses for soft spots, rot, or decay.
Ventilation matters immensely. Ridge vents, soffit vents, and attic fans regulate moisture and temperature.
Improper ventilation causes moisture to wick into insulation and decking, leading to rot. We verify these systems aren't blocked or compromised.
Gutters and downspouts channel water away. Clogged gutters cause water to seep under fascia and soffit, eroding wood and decking.
We check gutter attachment, sealant condition, and proper pitch toward downspouts.
Our Inspection Process
Every inspection starts with a visual walk of the entire roofline from ground level, then safely ascends with proper scaffolding and safety harness.
No corners are cut—every eave, rake, ridge, and hip is thoroughly documented.
Using a moisture meter and infrared scan, we detect moisture trapped inside sheathing and underlying insulation before visible damage appears.
Drone imagery captures roof details from multiple angles, revealing issues ground-level inspection misses.
Every finding is photographed and recorded in our written report—the document you'll need for insurance claims or contractor bids.
We provide a roof estimate for any repairs we recommend, with no pressure to act immediately.
Arizona Heat and Monsoon Damage
Phoenix averages over 110 days per year above 100°F. Sustained heat oxidizes asphalt shingles and dries tile underlayment, shortening service life.
With 3,872 hours of annual sunshine, UV constantly degrades coatings and elastomeric membranes.
Monsoon hail is a recurring risk across Maricopa County. The 2025 season damaged hundreds of roofs in areas like Arcadia, Ahwatukee Foothills, and beyond.
Hail punctures shingles, cracks skylights, and dents metal and standing-seam panels.
We document hail damage thoroughly—photos that support insurance claims. Metal roofing, tile, slate, wood shakes, and membrane roofs each respond differently to impact.
A post-hail inspection often reveals damage you didn't realize existed.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Schedule an inspection before buying a home or after any weather event. Insurance adjusters file claims based partly on your documentation.
If your roof is over 15-20 years old, an annual inspection catches problems early.
We inspect all roofing: asphalt with felt, metal roofing, clay and concrete tile, slate, wood shakes, flat roofs with TPO, EPDM, or PVC membranes, built-up roofs with tar paper and bitumen, and modified bitumen systems.
Each material has different failure modes and costs.
