The term "free roof inspection" performs considerable duty in this trade, and rarely the thing you assumes. In many situations it means someone on a ladder over a few minutes with a assignment is to generate a replacement number.
A real Roof Inspection ought to generate a document: photos of what was observed, where the problem was found, and a clear statement of what parts call for work now as opposed to what can reasonably be monitored.
The Roofing Company handles Roof Inspection for homeowners around Westmoreland County Pennsylvania — among them assessments that find the covering has years left.

The Items a Proper Inspection Actually Includes
- The surface itself. Granule shedding, lifting, splitting, torn shingles, and the extent wear is advanced on each slope — they wear at different rates.
- Metal flashing at all transition. A chimney, wall abutments, skylights and roof windows, valleys, vents. Flashing is the point at which the bulk of water entry actually originate.
- Valleys and roof edges. Precisely the areas handling the largest volume of water.
- Roof penetrations. Boots dry out long before the roof does, and they admit water without a sign.
- Ventilation. If air at the eaves and ridge exhaust are balanced, or the attic is slowly degrading everything from the back side.
- Inside, wherever it can be reached. Staining, light at the deck, moisture fill, oxidation on nails.
After Wind or Hail
Wind damage is frequently invisible from street level. Storm wind will fracture the seal between layers and leave no moving one piece — it reads untouched and is no longer sealed. Hail compromises the substrate under the mineral layer, which surfaces seasons afterward.
When an insurance claim is involved, documentation made early matters. We record what we encounter and hand the homeowner the file whether or not the homeowner hire this company.
When It Is Worth Having One Done
- After each serious weather event.
- Ahead of buying a property — independently from the standard inspection, that almost never includes a person walking it.
- Once past year fifteen of a shingle roof's service life, the point at which small repairs are still able to return years.
- Whenever a stain shows up on the ceiling — and be aware that water travels across framing, so the spot is routinely some distance from where it got in.
The Free Roof Inspection — Which Kind the Homeowner Is Genuinely Receiving
In practice there are two quite separate products going by that same phrase.
The common one is a lead activity. It is no charge for the reason that the purpose is arriving at a quote, and a conclusion of nothing required returns nothing on the time spent. The bias runs in one direction. The bias does not prove each such visit dishonest — only the incentive deserves being aware of.
The second produces a document you keep: dated photographs, locations, an explicit expected remaining service life, and a division between urgent findings and items which can be monitored. The second kind is useful no matter if you hires that company afterward, and that happens to be the test.

The Reason This Matters in Pennsylvania
A roof in Pennsylvania contends with winter freeze-thaw movement that works at seams, winter ice at the eaves, summer heat on exposed slopes, and storm-driven rainfall. Modest defects in this climate don't remain minor for long — which is exactly the reason catching them early justifies the trouble.
Common Questions We Get Before a Visit
How long does it take? Typically under an hour or so for a standard house covering, somewhat longer if we get interior entry worth using.
Does the owner have to be on site? Not necessarily, although attic access turns the inspection considerably better informative, and that does call for somebody to be on site.
Would someone actually climb on the roof? Yes, where the pitch and weather permit. An inspection generated entirely from below or out of satellite images amounts to an estimate, and this company will say so if conditions forces exactly that.
