A defensible, photo-documented roof condition report from an independent inspector — not a sales call from a company that wants to install your next roof. Written, code-referenced, and yours to keep.
Hands-on walk of every accessible roof plane plus attic entry
20+ photos with plain-English captions and code references
Written scope-of-work any contractor can bid apples-to-apples
Insurance-ready formatting for hail, wind, and monsoon claims
24–48 hour turnaround on the written report
No installer conflict — I don't sell roofs, I diagnose them
Exterior: every roof plane, valleys, flashings, penetrations, edge metal, ridge, drip edge, gutters, downspouts, and rooftop mechanical curbs. Interior: attic when accessible — deck moisture staining, ventilation math (1/300 or 1/150), insulation contact, framing. Documentation: geo-tagged photos, code citations (2018 IRC / 2018 IECC), and a written scope you can send to 3 contractors for real apples-to-apples bids.
Homeowners who were told they need a new roof and want a second opinion. Buyers under contract who need a pre-purchase roof read. Sellers who want a clean report to include in their listing packet. Adjuster prep — you got denied and want documentation before you appeal.

A professional inspection is done by someone whose only product is the report — not a roofer selling installation. You get written findings, photos, code references, and a scope any contractor can bid. Free inspections from roofing companies are usually a 15-minute sales visit; the 'report' is a quote.
60–90 minutes on-site for a typical single-story pitched roof, up to 3 hours for complex flat/foam or multi-plane properties. Written report delivered in 24–48 hours.
Both. Every inspection includes hands-on walk of every accessible plane, plus attic entry when reachable. We supplement with drone imagery on 2-story or steep-pitch NM roofs.

Yes. Reports include photo documentation, code references, and repair-vs-replace determinations formatted for adjuster review. Independence from installers is exactly what carriers want to see.
FLIR moisture scan + core verification.
Vigas, canales, parapet caps — NM specialty.
Manufacturer + workmanship defect audit.
Yearly punch-list + service-life estimate.
I've watched too many neighbors sign contracts they didn't understand for roofs they didn't need. That stops with a written report they own.
