A roof walk that starts with your concern
Tell us about the leak, loose material or replacement question that brought you here. When the roof is safe to access, a roofer walks it to examine the covering and the details around the concern.
Shingle condition, vent boots, wall and chimney flashing, roof edges and visible drainage paths all help explain the work. A single damaged detail and wear across several slopes call for different answers. We connect those findings to practical options rather than treating a roof’s age as a verdict.

What the roof inspection helps resolve
The useful result is a better roofing decision, with the limits of what can be seen kept clear.
- The failed detail
A lifted shingle, split boot or opened flashing joint provides a starting point. The adjacent material determines whether a local repair can be tied in.
- The condition around it
Brittle shingles, loose fasteners and deteriorated wood affect how far the repair needs to extend. Concealed damage may only become visible when roofing is opened.
- The next scope
An isolated repair, a larger roof section and replacement are different projects. The inspection helps explain which options fit the roof and what further work would establish the hidden conditions.
Inspection and city inspection serve different jobs
A free roof assessment helps plan roofing work. The city’s required construction inspections are part of a permitted project.
| Visit | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Roof condition inspection | Understand the existing roof and discuss repair or replacement. |
| Gladstone in-process inspection | City review during permitted roofing work before the roof is one-quarter complete. |
| Gladstone final inspection | The city’s completion stage for the permitted roofing project. |
Roof inspection FAQs
Do I have to climb up or take roof photos?
No. Tell us what you have noticed from a safe place. You can share photos you already have, but you do not need to access the roof to request help.
Does a roof walk show every hidden problem?
No. Covering, insulation and decking can conceal damage. If roofing needs to be opened, the newly exposed condition can change the repair or replacement scope.
Will an inspection prove which storm caused damage?
Not by itself. Current condition, property history and relevant weather evidence inform attribution. A roof inspection does not make an insurance coverage decision.
