Inspection Types
Storm & hail damage
HAAG-certified inspection with photo documentation of every damaged slope, sized hail strikes, and flashing failures — adjuster-ready report.
Pre-purchase / pre-listing
Written remaining-life estimate, defect list, and recommended pre-close repairs for buyers, sellers, and real-estate agents.
Insurance claim documentation
Coordinated meet-on-roof with the adjuster, supplemental scope-of-loss support, and depreciation recovery (ACV vs. RCV) documentation.
Annual maintenance inspection
Spring and fall visual + attic-side checks to catch failed sealant, lifted shingles, and ventilation issues before they turn into leaks.
Drone & thermal imaging
Aerial 4K imagery and infrared scans to identify wet insulation on flat roofs and missing sections on steep-slope without crew on the roof.
Commercial roof surveys
Full square-by-square condition assessment, core samples for moisture, and 5-year capital-planning reports for property managers and CFOs.
// 02 · What to expect
What a Quality Inspection Includes
- Exterior walk. Every slope walked or droned — shingles, flashings, valleys, ridge, vents, pipe boots, chimney, and skylights inspected and photographed.
- Attic inspection. Decking moisture, daylight gaps, insulation condition, ventilation balance, and stain mapping to surface penetrations.
- Drainage check. Gutters, downspouts, scuppers, drains, and grading away from the foundation.
- Written report. Photo-by-photo findings, defect prioritization, remaining-life estimate, and recommended scope of work with rough budgets.
- No bundled sales pitch. A clean inspection report is the deliverable — separate any repair or replacement bid into a follow-up conversation.

Roof Inspection FAQs
What does a roof inspection include?
A thorough roof inspection covers exterior surface (shingles, flashings, valleys, ridge, penetrations), attic-side (decking, ventilation, insulation, moisture), drainage (gutters, downspouts, scuppers), and a written report with photos and a remaining-life estimate.
How much does a roof inspection cost?
Visual exterior inspection: free–$200. Full residential inspection with attic and written report: $250–$500. Drone/thermal inspection: $400–$800. Pre-purchase inspection with seller-buyer report: $350–$650. Commercial inspections quoted by sq ft, typically $0.05–$0.15 per sq ft.
When should I get my roof inspected?
Once per year for standard maintenance, after any major storm (60+ mph wind, hail over 1 inch), before listing your home for sale, after a home purchase if the roof is over 10 years old, and immediately after any interior leak no matter how minor.
What is a HAAG-certified inspector?
HAAG Engineering certifies inspectors who pass written and field exams on wind, hail, and storm-damage assessment. HAAG reports carry weight with insurance adjusters and courts — essential for any storm-damage claim and recommended for any insurance-related inspection.
Will an inspection support my insurance claim?
Yes — a written report from a HAAG-certified inspector with date-stamped photos of every damaged slope, shingle, flashing, and penetration is the strongest evidence you can present to an adjuster. Most adjusters defer to a quality HAAG report rather than disputing it.
