Inspections backed by InterNACHI certification.

An estimate is only as good as the inspection behind it. Our roof and exterior inspections are backed by InterNACHI certification, the same training, ethics, and standards that define professional home inspectors, so what you get is a real assessment, not a sales pitch.

    What It MeansSEC 01 / 07

    Why It Matters To YouSEC 02 / 07
    InterNACHI certified roof inspection in Madison WIOn-site inspection

    A real assessment, not a sales pitch in disguise.

    Plenty of "free inspections" are just a way to sell you a roof. Certification changes the posture: the job is to assess the roof against a standard and tell you the truth, whether that's a full replacement, a small repair, or nothing at all right now.

    • Thorough, to a defined standard of practice
    • Objective, guided by a code of ethics
    • Documented with photos you can keep
    • Explained in plain language, no pressure

    Document hail or wind damage properly for an insurance claim.

    Real estate

    Buying or selling

    Know the true condition of the roof before money changes hands.

    Upkeep

    Routine maintenance

    Catch small issues before they turn into expensive ones.

    Unknown

    Aging or unknown roof

    Not sure how old the roof is? Get a baseline on its condition.

    Q.01What is InterNACHI?+
    InterNACHI is the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, one of the largest inspection organizations in the world. Its certified members complete training and exams, follow a code of ethics and standards of practice, and pursue continuing education.
    Q.02What does InterNACHI certification mean for my inspection?+
    It means the inspection is done to a recognized professional standard rather than as a loose sales walkthrough. You get a thorough, objective assessment of the roof and exterior, documented with photos and explained plainly.
    Q.03Is a roof inspection the same as a full home inspection?+
    No. Our focus is the roof and exterior, the areas we specialize in as a roofing contractor. A full home inspection for a real estate transaction covers the entire house and is a separate service. We'll be clear about exactly what we're inspecting.
    Q.04Does an inspection cost anything?+
    No. Our roof and exterior inspection is free with no obligation. You get an honest read and a photo report whether or not you ever hire us for any work.
    Q.05When should I get my roof inspected?+
    After any major hail or wind storm, before buying or selling a home, as part of routine maintenance, or any time you're unsure of the roof's age or condition. Catching issues early is almost always cheaper than waiting.
    Q.06What do I get after the inspection?+
    A documented report with photos of what we found, a plain-language walkthrough of any issues, and your options, repair, replacement, or simply monitoring it. No pressure to decide on the spot.
