Roof Inspection in Wyoming

We check the shingle field along with the flashing, valleys, vents and the soft metals around them, photograph what we find, and put it in writing — a repair scope, a replacement recommendation, or a clean bill of health, whichever the roof actually shows.

There is no fixed number. It depends on the roof's size, pitch and how many spots need a closer look once we are up there. A finding worth photographing from more than one angle takes longer than a roof that shows nothing unusual, and we do not rush past either one to hit a clock.

Not necessarily, if we can safely access the roof and the exterior without you. Being there lets us walk through what we found and answer questions in person, which most homeowners prefer, but the inspection itself does not require it.

When conditions make it safe, yes — walking the roof surfaces a soft spot underfoot, a cracked pipe boot or a lifted seam that a photo from the ground would miss. When pitch, ice or wet weather make walking unsafe, we say so and document what can be seen without it, rather than guessing.

A written record of what we found, organized by what needs attention first, with the photos that back it up — not a verbal summary you have to remember correctly later. If nothing needs attention, that goes in writing too.

There is no single interval that fits every roof. Most homeowners request one after a hailstorm or a high-wind event, before buying or selling a house, or once a roof is old enough that the question starts to nag. What an inspection tells you is where that specific roof stands, not a generic countdown.

Yes, the same inspection described on this page applies. It covers the roof and its condition, not the rest of the house, so treat it as a second opinion alongside a licensed home inspector's report, not a substitute for one.

Yes. A roof that does not need work gets told exactly that, in writing, the same as a roof that does. A contractor who only ever finds something to sell does not survive long on referrals in a handful of small Wyoming towns where people compare notes. Telling you the truth about a sound roof is not generosity — it is what earns the next call when something actually is wrong.

Yes. The first roof inspection is complimentary for properties in the service area, and it is the same inspection described on this page — the same walk-through, the same photo record, the same written findings, not a shortened version of it.

We do not guess from the ground and call it a finding. When the pitch, ice or wet conditions make walking unsafe, we document what can be seen from a ladder, the eaves and an accessible attic, say plainly what we could not verify, and note the limitation in the written findings instead of assuming.
