About Our Roof Inspection Service
A roof inspection is worth doing well or not at all. Our inspection process combines walking the roof surface, drone imagery of areas that shouldn't be walked (tile, steep slopes, high hazard), interior attic inspection for ventilation and leak evidence, and moisture-meter testing where staining is present. You receive a written report with photos of every finding, an itemized list of issues, and a professional estimate of remaining roof life — the kind of report buyers, lenders, insurers, and HOAs expect.
Best For
Home sellers needing a roof certification, home buyers verifying condition before close, insurance-claim documentation, HOA reserve-study inspections, and homeowners wanting an unbiased opinion before signing a big proposal.
Our Process
Inspections take 60–90 minutes on-site. We inspect all roof surfaces, penetrations, flashings, gutters, and accessible attic space. Findings are photographed and compiled into a written report delivered within 24–48 hours. Certifications for real-estate transactions include a 2-year certification when the roof passes.
Warranty
Roof certifications carry a 2-year warranty against undisclosed leaks on the certified roof — the industry standard for real-estate transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof inspection cost in San Jose?
Homeowners considering repair or replacement receive a free inspection. Real-estate certifications and formal written reports for third parties (buyers, lenders, insurers) are $275–$450 depending on roof size and complexity.
How long does a roof certification last?
A standard California roof certification is valid for 2 years from inspection date, provided no unauthorized work is performed on the roof during that period.
Do you inspect the attic too?
Yes. A proper roof inspection always includes accessible attic space — ventilation, insulation contact with the deck, past leak evidence, and daylight-through-deck checks. Skipping the attic misses half the story.
Can you inspect a roof for an insurance claim?
Yes. We document damage with drone photography, moisture readings, and a report formatted for insurance-adjuster review. We can also meet your adjuster on-site to walk the findings together.
