A roof inspection from Sellers Roofing isn’t a sales pitch with a clipboard. It’s a project manager climbing your roof, photographing the actual condition, checking the attic for moisture and ventilation, and emailing you a written report — whether or not you hire us.

When you should get a roof inspection
- After a hail or wind storm — before you call insurance.
- Before buying a home — a roof can be a five-figure surprise.
- If you’re selling — clean documentation answers buyer questions.
- Every 3–5 years as preventive maintenance.
- If you see staining, drips, or attic moisture — even small leaks compound.
What’s in the report
- Date-stamped photos of every roof plane, valley, and penetration.
- Attic photos showing decking, ventilation, and any visible moisture.
- An honest condition rating: like-new, serviceable, end-of-life, or active failure.
- Recommended actions, if any, with rough pricing ranges.
How the inspection visit works
- Schedule the visit — call or fill out the form; standard inspections are scheduled within one to two business days.
- On-roof walk — our project manager physically walks the roof surface rather than just eyeballing it from a ladder, so nothing gets missed.
- Attic check — we go into the attic to check decking, insulation, and ventilation balance, since roof problems often start from the inside.
- Written report — delivered within 48 hours with photos and a plain-language condition rating.
- No-pressure recommendation — if the roof is fine, we tell you that. If it needs a repair or replacement, we explain why and give you a written estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the inspection really free, no strings attached?
Yes. You get the full written report whether or not you decide to hire us for any follow-up work.
Do you inspect roofs you didn’t install?
Yes — most of our inspections are on roofs installed by other contractors or roofs that came with a home purchase.
Can an inspection help with an insurance claim?
Yes. If we find storm or hail damage, the photo-documented report is exactly the format most adjusters need, and we can attend the adjuster meeting with you.
How long does an inspection take?
Most single-family inspections take 30–45 minutes on-site, including the attic check. Larger or more complex roofs may take longer.
Should I get an inspection before buying a home?
Yes — a roof replacement can run $11,000–$18,000, and a pre-purchase inspection gives you leverage in negotiations or peace of mind if the roof checks out.
