What a Roof Inspection Includes

Common signs you may need roof inspections include Dark spots, stains, or discoloration on your ceiling or attic — water is getting in somewhere, Shingles that look curled, cracked, or missing pieces — exposed underlayment shortens roof life, Granules collecting in your gutters or on the ground — shingles are deteriorating faster than normal.

What a Roof Inspection Includes

  • Exterior roof walk-through with detailed visual assessment of all shingles, flashing, and penetrations
  • Interior attic inspection to check for water damage, proper ventilation, and insulation condition
  • Close-up photography of any problem areas or areas of concern
  • Written inspection report with photos, condition summary, and recommendations for repair or monitoring

How We Inspect Your Roof

  • Walk the entire roof surface from ground and roof level — we check shingles, flashing, valleys, and penetrations (chimneys, vents, skylights)
  • Document findings with close-up photos of problem areas — you get a visual record of exactly what we found
  • Check the attic and interior for water stains, mold, or moisture — leaks show signs inside before they show outside
  • Provide a written report with photos, condition assessment, and recommended timeline for repairs

Red Wing's climate — heavy snow and ice in winter, combined with spring thaw and summer storms — accelerates roof wear and creates multiple leak points through ice damming and water penetration. A professional inspection catches Minnesota-specific failures like ice dam damage and attic moisture before they become structural problems.

Common Questions

Roof Inspections FAQ

How long does a roof inspection take?

Most inspections take 2–3 hours depending on roof size and complexity. We walk the entire roof surface, check the attic, and document findings with photos. You'll have a written report within 1 business day.

Will you go up on the roof in bad weather?

No. We inspect when conditions are safe — typically on dry, clear days. If weather is poor, we'll reschedule for safety and to ensure accurate assessment.

What should I expect in the inspection report?

The report includes photos of any problem areas, an assessment of roof age and condition, remaining lifespan estimate, and clear recommendations for repair or replacement. You'll have visual proof of what we found and why.

Can you tell me during the inspection if my roof needs repair or replacement?

We'll give you a preliminary assessment on-site, but the detailed answer comes in the written report after we've analyzed photos and attic conditions. Roof replacement decisions depend on multiple factors — shingle condition, age, structural integrity, and water damage — which we document thoroughly.

Do I need to be home during the inspection?

We need access to the attic, so yes — you should be home or arrange key access. The inspection is non-invasive, but attic access is essential for a complete assessment.

How often should I have my roof inspected?

We recommend a professional inspection every 3–5 years for roofs under 15 years old, and annually for roofs 15+ years old. After severe weather (heavy snow, ice, hail), an inspection catches damage before leaks start.
