Storm Damage Roof Inspection
After a hailstorm or high winds, roof damage often isn’t visible from the ground. Our storm damage roof inspection looks for bruised shingles, creased tabs where wind lifted them, and dents on vents and gutters that show where hail struck. We photograph everything we find, which gives you clear evidence if you decide to file an insurance claim.

- Inspection Checklist
What's on Our Roofing Inspection Checklist?
Our complete roof condition inspection follows a standard roofing inspection checklist. This checklist makes sure that no part of the roof gets skipped, even on steep or hard-to-reach sections.
Shingles
We look for cracked or missing shingles and for granule loss, which leaves the asphalt exposed to sun and speeds up aging.
Flashing and chimneys
We check the metal around chimneys and skylights for gaps, rust or failed sealant.
Roof valleys
We examine valleys for worn shingles and packed debris that can back water up under the shingle edges.
Vents and pipe boots
We check rubber boots for cracks and make sure every roof vent is secure and unblocked.
Gutters and drip edge
Our gutter inspection confirms water drains freely, since clogged gutters overflow and can push water behind the fascia and under the roof edge.
Attic
From inside, we look for wet insulation, stained sheathing or daylight showing through, all signs of an active or past leak.
Roof decking
We walk the roof to feel for soft spots, which point to rot in the decking below.
- After Your Inspection
What Happens After Your Roof Inspection?
After we finish the inspection, we sit down with you and walk through what we found with simple explanations. This way, you know exactly what is going on with your roof and what your options are.
You will get a detailed inspection report showing every issue, where it’s located, and how serious it is. We break down repairs by urgency, pointing out what needs quick attention (like things that could cause leaks soon) and what is just routine wear you can plan for.
If repairs or even a full replacement make sense, we give you a free estimate. You decide what to do next. There’s no pressure from our side.
Answers to Your Roof Inspection Questions
How often should I have my roof inspected in Pennsylvania?
Twice a year is best: once in the spring and again in the fall. Spring checks catch any damage from winter’s ice or freeze-thaw cycles. Fall’s inspection makes sure your roof is ready for the next snow. Plus, always get a check after any major storm.
What does a professional roof inspection include?
A professional roof inspection covers the roof surface, flashing, gutters and attic, then ends with a report of what we found. You can see every item we check in our roofing inspection checklist above.
How long does a residential roof inspection take?
Usually, it takes anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours. If your roof is really steep, your house is tall, or your attic’s hard to get to, expect it to take a bit longer.
What are the signs my roof needs an inspection?
If you see stains on your ceiling, find shingle granules in your gutters, or notice curling or missing shingles, it is time for an inspection. Even if your roof looks okay but is getting old, it’s smart to check things like flashing and pipe boots, as those wear out even if the shingles still look decent.
Should I get my roof looked at after a big storm?
Absolutely. Call for an inspection within a few days after any storm with strong winds or hail. You often cannot see hail or wind damage from the ground, and most insurance companies want you to report any damage quickly.
Can a roof inspection find hidden leaks?
Most of the time, yes. We usually start in your attic, where we can spot trouble early—wet insulation, stained sheathing—before you see water inside your home.
