Roof inspections in Huntsville — free, photographed, written down
Buying, selling, renewing a policy, or wondering what the last hailstorm did: we look at every slope, every penetration and the attic, and hand you a report with photos instead of a sales pitch.
A roof inspection should tell you the truth about the roof, not sell you a new one. Ours covers every slope on foot where it's safe and by drone where it isn't, every penetration and flashing, the gutters, and the attic — because the underside of the decking shows leaks, ventilation problems and hail pinholes a surface look misses. You get a written report with photos, our honest opinion of remaining life, any repairs it needs with prices, and no obligation.
In Huntsville that means we're looking for what North Alabama roofs do: hail bruising and granule loss on the slopes facing the storm track, wind creases on the west and south, cracked pipe boots, nail pops on 1990s roofs, chimney flashing on the brick ranches, and the attic-heat damage that shows up as curled, brittle shingles on under-ventilated houses. After a storm we're looking for damage that supports a claim — and we'll tell you when it doesn't.

Questions we get about roof inspection
Is the inspection really free?
For storm damage and for homeowners deciding about a repair or replacement, yes — no obligation. Written reports for real estate and insurance are priced, and the fee is credited to any repair we do.
How long does it take?
About an hour on site for a typical Huntsville house, including the attic. Real estate reports are emailed within 48 hours.
Can you tell how long my roof has left?
Yes, in a range, and in writing. Granule loss, brittleness, seal-strip failure and the attic tell the story.
My insurance company wants a roof certification.
Alabama carriers are inspecting and non-renewing over roof age. We provide a dated condition report with photos and remaining life in the format underwriters ask for.
Do you knock on doors after hailstorms?
No. If a company tells you your roof is damaged from the sidewalk, ask them for photos from the roof. We inspect when you call us.
Will you walk on my roof?
When it's safe. Steep, wet or brittle roofs get the drone. Attic access lets us see what the surface doesn't show.
