A professional roof inspection covers every component of your roofing system — not just what you can see from the ground. Edwards Roofing & Maintenance inspectors walk the roof to examine each shingle section for cracking, curling, buckling, and granule loss. We check every flashing point: chimney flashing, step flashing at walls, pipe boots at plumbing vents, vent boots at exhaust fans, and valley channels where water concentrates.
Attic inspection is the part most roofers skip. We check your soffit vents, ridge vents, and attic fan operation to verify balanced ventilation. Poor ventilation causes heat buildup that bakes shingles from underneath and ice dams in cold weather. We also check insulation levels and look for moisture, mold, or compressed batts that reduce R-value.
Our Roof Inspection Process
Schedule Your Inspection
We'll confirm your inspection date and time. Let us know the purpose — annual maintenance, home sale, insurance claim, or post-storm — so our inspector brings the right checklist and documentation forms.
Exterior Roof Walk
Full exterior roof walk. We check every square foot of shingles, every flashing transition, every penetration seal. Pipe boots squeezed for brittleness. Chimney flashing probed for gaps. Valley channels checked for debris buildup and wear. Photos taken of every finding.
Interior Inspection
We enter the attic to check from below. Soffit vent airflow verified. Ridge vent continuity checked. Insulation levels measured. Roof deck inspected for moisture stains, mold, daylight, or sagging between rafters. This catches problems the surface walk can't see.
Detailed Report
Your roof inspection report delivered within 48 hours. Prioritized findings, annotated photos, and repair recommendations. We walk you through the report by phone or in person if you prefer.
