How a Free Roof Inspection Works at RCRS

Inspections are the foundation of every honest roofing decision. Here is exactly what happens during one of our free inspections — no high-pressure pitch at the end, just a written report and a recommendation.

  1. 1

    Schedule your inspection

    Same day - 3 business days

    Call or submit the contact form. We confirm an arrival window (typically a 2-hour window) and confirm there is safe ladder access. You do not need to be home, but it helps for the walkthrough.

  2. 2

    Exterior roof walk

    20 - 30 minutes on-site

    A licensed inspector walks every slope (when safely accessible), checking shingle granule loss, hail bruising, wind creases, nail pops, flashing condition, pipe boots, ridge ventilation, and gutter attachment.

  3. 3

    Attic check

    10 - 15 minutes

    We look in the attic for active leaks, prior leak stains, decking condition from underneath, daylight at penetrations, and ventilation balance (intake vs. exhaust). This is where most contractors skip — and where the truth lives.

  4. 4

    Photo documentation

    During inspection

    Every slope, every finding, every penetration is photographed. You receive the full photo set with the written report — useful even if you do not hire us, especially for insurance.

  5. 5

    Written report & recommendation

    1 - 2 business days after inspection

    You get a written report with: estimated remaining roof life, any active issues, recommended repairs (if any), and whether a claim is worth filing. If your roof is fine, we tell you so and walk away.

  6. 6

    Annual maintenance program (optional)

    Once per year

    For roofs we have installed or recently repaired, we offer an annual maintenance program — yearly inspection, sealant renewal at penetrations, and gutter check. Adds years to roof life and keeps your warranty current.

What's Included — And What's Not

Included in this service

  • Free initial exterior inspection (no obligation)
  • Attic check for leak signs, decking condition, and ventilation
  • Photo documentation of every slope and finding
  • Hail and wind damage assessment (storm claim eligibility)
  • Written condition report with estimated remaining roof life
  • Honest recommendation: repair, replace, or leave alone
  • Optional pre-purchase inspection (paid, for real-estate transactions) [needs-owner verification on current price]
  • Optional annual maintenance program for installed roofs

Not included

  • Interior moisture testing or mold inspection — those require a different specialist
  • Engineer's structural certification — we are roofers, not structural engineers
  • Insurance claim filing — you file with your carrier; we attend the adjuster meeting
  • Repair work during the inspection itself (we do not pressure-sell on-site)
  • Inspection of roofs that are visibly unsafe to walk — we will tell you and refund nothing because the inspection is free

If your project needs something not listed, just ask — we can usually coordinate or refer you to a trusted partner.
