What Is a Roof Inspection?
A roof inspection is a close look at the roof surface, flashing, gutters, attic and decking to find damage and estimate how much life the roof has left. The roofer usually takes photos and explains what needs repair now, what can wait, and what is fine.
When To Get a Roof Inspected
- After hail or a strong wind storm
- When you see a ceiling stain but can't find the source
- Before buying or selling a home
- Before filing an insurance claim
- When the roof is getting older and you are planning ahead
- After a tree limb hits the roof
What the Roofer Checks
| Area | What they look for |
|---|---|
| Shingles or panels | Missing, cracked, bruised, curling or loose |
| Flashing | Gaps around chimneys, vents, skylights and walls |
| Valleys and gutters | Debris, standing water, damage |
| Attic | Stains, damp insulation, daylight, ventilation |
| Decking | Soft or sagging spots |
| Metal parts | Hail dents on vents, gutters and trim |

Storm and Insurance Inspections
After a storm, an inspection documents damage with photos you can share with your insurer. It helps to have the roofer there when the adjuster visits. The adjuster still decides what the policy covers. Learn about hail damage repair and storm damage repair.
Buying or Selling a Home in Huntsville

What It Costs
Some roofers offer free inspections after storms; others charge, especially for detailed written reports for real estate. Ask when you are connected.
