Annual Roof Inspections FAQs

Your annual inspection questions, answered.

What's the difference between your inspection and a free one from a roofer?

A “free” inspection from a roofing contractor is often a sales tactic meant to justify costly repairs or replacements. Independent roof consultants, on the other hand, offer unbiased, professional evaluations. We don’t sell or install roofing products—our only product is expert advice. That means you get a true, conflict-free report on your roof’s condition without pressure to buy services. With us, the goal is protecting your property and your budget—not making a sale.

Our roof is under warranty. Do we still need an annual inspection?

Yes. In fact, most roof warranties require regular inspections to stay valid. Skipping inspections or neglecting maintenance could actually void your warranty. An independent inspection provides documented proof of care, catches small issues before they escalate, and helps you get the most out of your roof’s warranty coverage.

What happens if you find a problem during the inspection?

If we discover an issue, we’ll include it in your comprehensive inspection report—complete with photos, severity rankings, and next-step recommendations. Since we’re not contractors, we won’t try to sell you repairs. Instead, we’ll help you understand the issue and suggest the right type of professional to address it. Our role is to give you clear, actionable guidance without bias.

How does an annual inspection help with managing an HOA or portfolio budget?

Annual inspections allow HOAs and property managers to forecast roofing costs, avoid surprise repairs, and plan for capital improvements. You’ll receive a detailed report that helps you predict when sections may need replacement or how much to budget for future repairs. This leads to more accurate reserve funding, better vendor management, and fewer emergency expenses. In short, it’s a proactive tool for smarter financial planning.

What are the most common (and costly) problems an annual inspection prevents?

Annual inspections help catch:

  • Roof leaks and water damage before they lead to mold or structural issues
  • Missing or damaged shingles that expose your roof to the elements
  • Flashing failures around vents, skylights, and chimneys—common causes of leaks
  • Clogged gutters or poor drainage that lead to roof rot and foundation problems
  • Poor attic ventilation, which can cause premature roof failure and ice damming

By identifying these early, you avoid major damage and extend the life of your roof.
