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
Schedule your inspection
Same day - 3 business daysCall 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
Exterior roof walk
20 - 30 minutes on-siteA 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
Attic check
10 - 15 minutesWe 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
Photo documentation
During inspectionEvery 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
Written report & recommendation
1 - 2 business days after inspectionYou 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
Annual maintenance program (optional)
Once per yearFor 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.
