The Inspector’s Checklist: What We Look at on Every Roof

Key takeaways

  • We start on the ground and finish in the attic.
  • Flashing and penetrations are checked as carefully as shingles.
  • Every finding is photographed.
  • You get a priority list, not a sales pitch.

Every inspection follows a routine, so nothing gets skipped. Here is the short version.

Outside

  • Overall roof shape, sag and slope condition
  • Shingle wear, cracks, curling, bruising and granule loss
  • Ridge caps, hips and ridge vents
  • Chimneys, skylights and wall junctions
  • Vent pipe boots and exhaust terminations
  • Gutters, downspouts, fascia, soffit and drip edge

Inside

  • Attic ventilation and airflow
  • Insulation condition and moisture
  • Underside of the decking
  • Rafters and framing
  • Ceilings and walls for stains

The finish

  • Photo documentation for every finding
  • A priority list: fix now, fix soon, monitor
  • A plain-language conversation about what it means

No jargon, no pressure. Just the facts.
