Free Roof Inspection in Columbia, Lexington & the Midlands
A 19-point inspection of your roof, attic and flashing by a roofer whose estimators work insurance claims every day, with photos of every slope and a straight answer.
What does the free inspection include?
Quick answer
A free 19-point inspection with photos of every slope, a photo report the same day, and a written estimate within 24 hours that you can hand to your insurance adjuster.
We look at the shingle field, ridge and hip caps, valleys, flashing at walls and chimneys, pipe boots and roof vents, attic ventilation, decking where it can be seen, and signs of hail, wind or limb damage. The full list homeowners can follow is in our roof inspection checklist for SC homeowners.
When should you get a roof inspection?
- After hail, high wind or a tropical storm. See emergency roof repair and storm damage.
- When you see a leak, ceiling stain or granules in the gutters. See roof repair.
- When the roof is 15+ years old and you're weighing a roof replacement.
- Before buying or selling a home.
What happens after the inspection
You get the photos and a plain-English answer: nothing needed, a repair, or a replacement. If there's storm damage, we explain whether a claim makes sense before you file. Our estimators write in Xactimate and Symbility, the platforms carriers use, and walk you through the insurance claim process step by step.
