Know Exactly What’s Going On With Your Roof

A roof inspection gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We check every component of the system, identify problems, and tell you exactly what we find. No vague language, no scare tactics, and definitely no pressure to buy something you don’t need. An annual inspection is one of the smartest things you can do for your roof in the Pacific Northwest. Portland and Vancouver’s wet climate accelerates wear, and catching small issues early saves you from expensive repairs later.

Roof Inspection in Three Steps

How Our Inspections Work

Whether it’s for a home sale, insurance, or peace of mind, our process is the same: thorough, honest, and documented.

01

Full Roof Inspection

We go up to the roof and inspect every component instead of just giving it a quick glance from the ground. We check the shingles, flashing, valleys, penetrations, chimneys, skylights, vents, gutters, and drainage. When accessible, we inspect the attic for signs of moisture, ventilation issues, and the condition of the decking.

Detailed Report & Clear Findings

After the inspection, you’ll receive a report that explains exactly what we found without the technical jargon or ambiguity. If there are issues, we explain what they are, how serious they are, and what it would take to fix them. If your roof is in good shape, we’ll tell you that too.

Certification or Next Steps

If your roof passes inspection, we issue a certification documenting its condition and estimated remaining life. If it doesn’t pass, we’ll walk you through exactly what needs to happen to bring it into a certifiable condition. As a full-service roofing company, we can handle any repairs, cleaning, or restoration your roof needs to get it back in shape.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Roof Inspection Process

Straight answers to the questions we hear most from our clients about roof inspections and certifications.

What is a roof certification, and when do I need one?

A roof certification is a written statement from a licensed roofing contractor confirming your roof has been inspected and is in good condition with a specific remaining life expectancy. You typically need one when selling your home (buyers and agents often request them), when your insurance company flags your roof, or when a lender requires it for mortgage approval. It’s separate from a standard home inspection and carries more weight because a specialist performs it.

What does your roof inspection cover?

We inspect the full roof system, including shingle condition (granule loss, curling, cracking, missing), flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights, valleys and transitions, gutters and drainage, ventilation, decking condition, and signs of moisture damage, wood rot, or organic growth. We also check the attic when it’s accessible. You get a detailed report with photos and clear recommendations.

How often should I have my roof inspected?

At least once a year, ideally before the rainy season starts. In Portland and Vancouver, your roof takes more abuse from rain, wind, and moss than roofs in drier climates. Annual inspections catch small issues like loose flashing, early organic growth, or minor leaks before they become expensive problems. After major storms, it’s also a good idea to have a quick check done.

My insurance company says I need to replace my roof. Is that my only option?

Not always. We’ve helped homeowners meet insurance requirements through Roof Maxx rejuvenation or targeted repairs, rather than full replacement. It depends on the specific condition of your roof and what your insurer is asking for. We’ll inspect your roof, explain what we find, and work with you to identify the most cost-effective solution that meets your insurer’s requirements.
