What Your Inspection Covers
Every Roof Inspection Includes a Detailed, Itemized Report
When we inspect your roof, we’re not just looking for leaks. We’re checking every component that keeps your home dry through a Chicago winter. Here’s exactly what our crew documents.
- ✓ **Roof surface assessment** — We walk every inch of your roof, documenting the condition of shingles (GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed), tiles, or low-slope membranes (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen). We note curling, cracking, granule loss, and hail damage.
✓ **Flashing & penetration inspection** — Our crew checks all flashings around chimneys, skylights, vents, and pipes. In Chicago’s freeze-thaw climate, failed flashing is a top leak source.
✓ **Gutter & downspout check** — We clear debris and verify proper flow. Clogged gutters cause ice dams and water backup — we’ll flag issues now before winter hits.
✓ **Attic & ventilation review** — We go inside your attic to measure insulation levels (R-value), check for moisture, mold, and ensure proper ridge and soffit vent balance. Inadequate ventilation voids many manufacturer warranties.
✓ **Structural integrity inspection** — We probe for rotted decking, sagging rafters, and signs of pest damage. If we find soft spots, we’ll show you photos and explain the repair options.
✓ **Interior leak tracing** — We look for water stains on ceilings and walls, then trace the source from the inside out. No guesswork — we document the leak path.
✓ **Detailed written report with photos** — You’ll receive an itemized list of findings, including material recommendations, estimated costs, and safety notes. Every report references our Illinois license #104-014892.
✓ **Free estimate for any needed repairs** — If we find issues, we provide a written, itemized quote for materials and labor. No pressure, just facts — we’ve been serving Wicker Park, Logan Square, Pilsen, and Evanston since 2008.

Roof Inspection FAQs
Everything You Need to Know Before Booking
We've been inspecting Chicago roofs since 2008. Here's what to expect when you call (312) 313-3253 for a free inspection.
**Q1: What does a roof inspection include?**
We start with a ground-level overview, then a walk on your roof surface (weather permitting). We check for damaged or missing shingles, signs of leaks around penetrations, flashing condition, gutter attachment, and attic ventilation. We also look for hail or wind damage that might be covered by insurance. Every inspection includes a written report with photos.
**Q2: How much does a roof inspection cost?**
Our standard residential roof inspection is completely free. We don't charge for the initial visit, estimate, or written report. If you need a specialized inspection (e.g., for a real estate transaction), there may be a fee, but we'll confirm that upfront.
**Q3: How long does an inspection take?**
Most residential inspections take 30–45 minutes. A larger commercial roof or complex flat roof with multiple penetrations may take up to an hour. We'll give you a clear timeline when we schedule.
**Q4: Do I need to be home?**
It's helpful if you're home so we can point out findings and answer questions. But we can also email you the full report and photos afterward if you need to be away.
**Q5: What happens if you find damage?**
We'll explain the issue in plain language, show you photo evidence, and provide a detailed estimate for repairs or replacement. If the damage is from a recent storm, we'll guide you through the insurance claim process — we handle documentation and adjuster communication at no extra charge.
**Q6: Are you licensed and insured?**
Yes. We're an Illinois licensed contractor (#104-014892), fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation. We're also certified installers for GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Malarkey, and IKO, so manufacturer warranties apply.
**Q7: What areas do you serve?**
We serve all of Chicagoland, including Pilsen, Logan Square, Wicker Park, Evanston, Oak Park, and 11 other communities from our Division Street shop.
