How to Prepare for a Roof Inspection

The few details that make an inspection request more useful from the start.

The short answer

Have the property address, the main concern, the approximate age of the roof if known, any active-leak details, and photos you can safely take from the ground.

Share the property location

The address and city let the team understand where the property is and plan the visit. If the property is gated or has access considerations, include those in the request.

Describe the concern in plain language

You do not need roofing terminology. 'Water stain over the kitchen,' 'shingles missing after wind,' or 'thinking about replacement' are all useful starting points.

Note roof history if you know it

Approximate roof age, prior repairs, recent storm dates, and any past leaks can help frame the conversation. It is fine if you do not have every detail; the inspection is there to help fill the gaps.

Keep safety and privacy in mind

Do not climb up for photos. If you share photos, stick to images taken safely from the ground and avoid including sensitive personal information in the project details.

Helpful information is not a roof inspection, policy interpretation, or insurance coverage decision. Conditions and available services depend on the actual property.
