Know Exactly What's Up There
Before It Comes Down

A professional roof inspection is a systematic evaluation of your entire roofing system — material condition, flashing, penetrations, drainage, ventilation, structural integrity, and attic-side indicators. There are three main types: annual/routine inspections that catch developing problems early, pre-purchase inspections that protect buyers from costly surprises, and storm damage assessments for insurance claims.

We evaluate far more than just shingles. Roofing surface material wear and damage, all flashing at chimneys, walls, skylights, and vents, pipe boots and penetration seals, gutters and drainage flow, fascia and soffit condition, attic ventilation balance, attic-side decking for stains, rot, or daylight, and insulation condition. For storm assessments, we document every hail impact, wind damage, and debris impact with photographs.

A standard inspection prices off roof size, pitch, and how much of it we can safely walk — a walkable ranch takes a fraction of the time a steep, cut-up two-story does. Add-ons move the number: drone work when pitch or fragile material rules out walking, and infrared scanning when we need to find moisture trapped inside decking or under a membrane that looks fine from the surface. Storm damage assessments for an insurance claim we usually provide at no charge, because if a claim is coming, we want the documentation done right from the first visit. Distance factors in once you're well outside the Greenville area — we'd rather group a run into western North Carolina or north Georgia with other work we already have that direction than bill you for the windshield time. Set any of that against what an inspection heads off — a leak quietly rotting decking and framing, buying a house that needs a full roof the month you close, or missing your carrier's filing window entirely. Plan on 45–90 minutes on site and a written report with photos.

We recommend inspections twice yearly (spring and fall) and after any significant storm. Storm season across the region runs roughly April through September. A spring inspection catches winter damage; a fall inspection catches storm season damage. This rhythm catches problems at the earliest and least expensive stage.
