Free Roof Inspection in Seattle, WA
A roof inspection in Seattle should end with a clear answer, not a sales pitch. We go over the roof, photograph the trouble spots and tell you what needs doing and what can wait.
Roof inspection services: what we check
Our roof inspection in Seattle looks at the entire roof system, not only the shingles visible from the driveway.
- Shingles, cedar shakes or panels: cracking, curling, and loose or missing pieces
- Moss, algae and lichen, plus whatever they may have damaged underneath
- Flashing at chimneys, skylights, walls and valleys
- Plumbing vents and their rubber boots
- Nails or screws that have backed out or rusted
- Gutters, downspouts, and puddles on flat sections
- Leak signs in the attic and on ceilings, including condensation
- Damage from wind and fallen branches
When to get your roof inspected
After a wind storm
Lifted shingles and limb damage rarely show from the ground.
Buying or selling
Learn what shape the roof is in before closing.
A new stain or drip
Catch a leak before it spreads to more of the house.
Every fall
A look before the rains start finds small problems while they’re still small.
A straight answer, not a sales pitch
We don’t charge for the inspection because we’d prefer to earn your trust first and your business later. When all you need is a small repair or a moss clean-up, that’s what we’ll say.
We’d like to be the roofer you mention to friends and family, and honest advice is how we plan to get there.
“He took multiple pictures of my roof and showed me where the water was coming from. I haven’t had a leak since.”

Quick answers about what an inspection involves. Anything else, just call.
(737) 307-1960How much does a roof inspection cost?
Nothing. Our roof inspection cost is zero, with no obligation: you receive photos of what we found along with our honest recommendation.
Do you do commercial roof inspections?
Yes. A commercial roof inspection covers the membrane, seams, drains, scuppers and any ponding on flat and low-slope roofs. See commercial roofing for maintenance options.
Do I get to see the problems you find?
Yes. Each problem gets a photo, and we take you through them one by one so you can see what the roof needs.
When is the best time for a roof inspection in Seattle?
Late summer or early fall, before the rainy season starts, so any repairs are done while the roof is dry. After a wind storm is the other time to call.
Is a roof inspection worth it before buying a house?
Yes, it’s a wise step. A roofer can tell you the roof’s condition and how much life it has left before closing, which avoids surprises later.
