Free Roof Inspection in Phoenix, AZ
We get on your roof, document its actual condition with photographs, and give you a written assessment of what — if anything — needs to happen.
It’s free. There’s no obligation. And if your roof is fine, we’ll tell you it’s fine.
When to Get Your Roof Inspected
- Before monsoon season. May or early June, ahead of the June 15 start. This is the single best time of year to catch problems.
- After a monsoon storm. particularly following a microburst or haboob. Damage is often not visible from the ground.
- Before buying or selling a home. A roof inspection is not the same thing as a general home inspection — home inspectors typically assess from the ground or the eaves and don’t walk a tile roof.
- When your home passes 15 years old and every two to three years after.
- Before installing solar. Replacing a roof under existing panels means paying to remove and reset them. Establish the roof’s remaining life before the panels go on.
- When a contractor has told you that you need a new roof and you want an independent look.
What We Actually Inspect

Roof surface: tile condition and seating, shingle granule loss and curling, foam surface integrity and coating condition, general wear patterns.
Drainage: valleys, scuppers, drains, and gutters. Dust and debris accumulation that blocks flow.
Underlayment condition: on tile roofs we pull tile in several representative areas to see the membrane directly. This is the difference between an inspection and a glance — you can’t assess tile underlayment from on top of the tile.
Penetrations: pipe jacks, vents, HVAC curbs, skylights, and satellite mounts. This is where most Arizona leaks start.
Attic and decking, where accessible: moisture, staining, daylight, insulation condition, and ventilation adequacy.
Flashings: wall abutments, chimneys, valleys, drip edge, and parapet caps.
Documented photo report of everything found.

You keep all of it whether you hire us or not. If you want a second opinion afterward, take our photos and our report to another contractor — that’s a reasonable thing to do and we won’t be offended by it.
Why It’s Free
Roofs that need work generate business on their own once the homeowner can see photographs of what’s actually happening up there. Roofs that don’t need work generate a homeowner who calls us in four years when something changes — and who tells a neighbor in the meantime. Charging $300 for an inspection would get in the way of both.
No inspection fee, no bundled-into-the-estimate fee, no pressure on the visit.
Roof Maintenance Plans
For homeowners who’d rather stay ahead of problems than react to them, we offer scheduled maintenance — annual or semi-annual inspection, valley and drain clearing, sealant renewal at penetrations, and minor repairs before they turn into leaks.
The economics are straightforward: a $400 pipe jack replacement is cheaper than the $2,500 drywall, insulation, and deck repair that follows six months of undetected water intrusion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. No fee, no deposit, and nothing added into a later estimate. You get the photos and the written report regardless of what you decide.
Typically 45 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on roof size and complexity. You don’t need to be home, though most people prefer to be there so we can walk through the findings.
Yes, and we know how — walking tile incorrectly cracks it. Our crews walk the courses and load points. If a roof is genuinely unsafe to walk, we’ll say so and inspect it another way.
Photographs of every finding, a written note on each, and a priority order separating urgent items from things that can wait. If we tell you a pipe jack has failed, you’ll see the cracked boot in the photo.
Our photo documentation and written assessment support a claim. Whether a claim is approved is between you and your carrier — coverage generally requires a specific storm event rather than age-related wear.
