Why people get a roof inspection
- Buying a home — knowing the actual condition of the roof can swing the negotiation by tens of thousands of dollars.
- Selling a home — pre-listing inspections eliminate buyer surprises and let you negotiate from strength.
- After a storm — hail and wind damage isn't always visible from the ground, and you have limited time to file an insurance claim.
- Annual maintenance — roofs that get inspected once a year tend to last 20–30% longer than roofs that get ignored.
- Insurance documentation — many carriers now require a roof inspection report at policy renewal for older roofs.
- Suspected leak or damage — when something feels off and you want a second opinion before committing to repairs.
