Free Roof Inspection in Madison, WI
Don't wait until you have a leak. Most roof problems are visible long before they cause damage inside your home — but only if someone's looking. Our free 30-point inspection gives Madison homeowners a clear, honest picture of what's working, what's wearing, and what to plan for.
What our 30-point inspection covers
We don't shortcut roof inspections. Our inspectors physically climb every roof we inspect — drone footage and ground-level photos miss too much. Each inspection covers thirty distinct check points, organized into six categories:
Shingles & roofing material (8 points)
Granule loss, curling, cupping, missing shingles, lifted shingles, hail impact marks, sealant condition, and overall material wear stage.
Flashings & penetrations (6 points)
Chimney flashing, plumbing vent boots, skylight flashing, valley flashings, drip edges, and step flashings at sidewall transitions.
Gutters & drainage (5 points)
Gutter pitch and securement, downspout function, splash guards, debris accumulation, and visible damage to fascia or soffits.
Ventilation (4 points)
Ridge vents, soffit vents, attic ventilation balance, and signs of moisture or condensation issues in the attic.
Structural (4 points)
Visible deck issues, sagging or unevenness, ice damming evidence, and any visible signs of structural compromise.
Documentation (3 points)
Overall photo documentation, damage-specific close-ups, and a written summary of findings.
What you get after the inspection
Written report
A clear, plain-language summary of what we found. Each finding gets a severity rating (good / monitor / repair recommended / urgent) and a recommended action.
Photo documentation
Every issue gets photographed. We share photos in a format you can keep — useful for your records, for insurance, and for selling the home if you ever do.
Honest recommendation
If your roof has years of life left, we'll tell you. If it needs replacement, we'll tell you that too. We're not the contractor that finds 'urgent repairs' on every inspection — that approach hurts homeowners and hurts our reputation.
Estimate (only if needed)
If repairs or replacement are recommended, you'll receive a written estimate within 1–2 business days. No pressure to act immediately — the report is yours to use however you want.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does a roof inspection take?
- Most inspections take 45–60 minutes. Larger or more complex roofs can take longer.
- Is the inspection really free?
- Yes. Free, no obligation, no sales pressure. We do this because most homeowners need help understanding their roof's condition, and an honest inspection often turns into a customer over time.
- When should I get my roof inspected?
- At minimum, every 2–3 years for asphalt-shingle roofs and every 3–5 years for metal. Also after any major storm, and before listing your home for sale.
- Will you tell me my roof is fine if it actually is?
- Yes. Plenty of Madison homeowners worry about their roof's age but are years away from needing replacement. We tell people the truth — including when their roof is in good shape.
