What Our Inspection Covers
- Roof surface: missing, lifted, cracked or bruised shingles and granule loss.
- Flashing at chimneys, walls, valleys and skylights.
- Pipe boots, vents and any rusted or loose metal.
- Gutters, drip edge and fascia along the eaves.
- The attic: daylight through the deck, damp insulation, stains and ventilation.
- Ceilings inside the house where you have noticed spots.
You receive photos of what we find, so you can see the roof for yourself without climbing a ladder.
After a Storm, Earlier Is Better
Wind can lift shingles and break their seal without tearing them off, and hail bruises may not be visible from the yard. Left alone, those spots let water in slowly. Insurance policies also expect damage to be reported within a reasonable time. A prompt storm damage roof check gives you documentation while the evidence is fresh. Our guide on how to check your roof for storm damage covers what you can safely look for from the ground.
When Repair Is the Right Call, and When It Is Not
Repair usually makes sense when damage is limited to one area, the roof is relatively young and the shingles are still flexible. Replacement becomes the better value when damage is spread across several slopes, the shingles are brittle or curling, leaks keep returning in different places or the roof has already been patched many times. We explain our reasoning and show photos either way. For a deeper comparison, read choosing between roof repair and replacement.

Common Questions
How often should Richland homeowners have their roof inspected?
Once a year is a good habit, plus after any major hail or wind event. Older roofs benefit from closer attention because small issues grow faster.
What does a roof inspection cost?
Our roof inspections are free. You get photos and an explanation of what we found, with no obligation to hire us.
How can I tell if the last storm damaged my roof?
Look for shingles in the yard, granules collecting at downspouts, dented gutters or new ceiling stains. Many signs are only visible up close, so an inspection is the surest way to know.
How long does a roof repair take?
Many repairs are finished in a single visit. Larger repairs depend on the extent of damage, materials and weather, and we will give you a time estimate up front.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof damage in Rankin County?
Policies commonly cover sudden damage from wind or hail but not normal wear. Your specific policy determines coverage, and we can document damage to support your claim.
