What the Inspection Process Covers

During a roof inspection in Madison, the crew examines every section of your roof from the surface to the edges. They check shingles for cracks, granule loss, and wind damage. They inspect flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights, and they look for signs of water intrusion or poor ventilation. If you are filing an insurance claim, they document damage with photos and notes that meet carrier standards.

After the inspection, you receive a written report that explains what was found, what needs attention, and what can wait. If repairs are needed, you will understand the scope and priority. If your roof is in good condition, you will have documentation for your records or for a buyer.

The team uses ladders, moisture meters, and cameras to assess areas that are difficult to see. They also review attic ventilation and insulation when accessible. The inspection does not include structural engineering analysis or interior water damage assessment unless specifically requested.
