An honest read on your asphalt shingle roof — granule loss, hail damage, ventilation, ridge-cap wear, and pipe-boot condition — from an independent inspector who doesn't install roofs.
Granule loss quantified with photo evidence (not eyeballed)
Hail-impact mapping formatted for adjuster review
Cracked, curled, and lifted shingle documentation
Ridge cap, valley, and pipe-boot condition graded
Attic ventilation math (1/300 or 1/150) verified
Repair-vs-replace determination with cost ranges
Roof surface: field granule inventory, valley wear, ridge/hip cap condition, penetration flashings, pipe-boot cracks, edge metal and drip edge, sealant strip check on lifted shingles. Attic: deck moisture, ventilation NFA calculation, insulation contact, exhaust termination. Deliverable: PDF with 20+ photos, code references, and repair-vs-replace determination.
Homeowners planning ahead on a 15+ year old shingle roof. Buyers under contract who need a real read before closing. Anyone told 'you need a new roof' by a shingle roofing company. Insurance-claim homeowners who need documentation for hail or wind damage.
Free Walkthrough — $149 Standard Shingle Roof Inspection — $349 Detailed Insurance-Ready (hail/wind) — $649 Pre-Purchase Package — $549 Most NM shingle homes fall in the $349 range.
Granule loss (NM UV is brutal), cracked or curled shingles, exposed nail heads, sealant strip failure, valley wear, pipe-boot cracking, and ridge-cap deterioration. Attic-side: deck moisture and ventilation math.
Architectural shingles are marketed at 30 years but real-world NM life is 18–24 years due to UV, thermal cycling, and hail exposure. West and south exposures fail first — expect uneven aging.
$149 free walkthrough, $349 standard written report, $649 detailed insurance-ready with hail damage documentation. Most NM shingle homes are the standard $349 report.
That's the whole point of an independent inspection. The report includes a repair-vs-replace determination with cost-range estimates so you can decide with real information — not a roofing salesperson's opinion.
Yes — hail damage on shingle roofs is one of my specialties. Reports document impact patterns, mat exposure, and functional damage in the format adjusters need to write a fair scope.
Factory & warehouse membrane + equipment audit.
Multi-family portfolio pricing and capital plans.
RTU flashing and vibration leak source audit.
Tarp placement + permanent repair scope.
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.
