Professional Roof Inspection

Why It Pays to Have Your Roof Professionally Inspected

Your roof does more work protecting your home from the elements than almost any other part of the structure, yet many homeowners go years without a professional look at it — often finding out something's wrong only once water has already made its way inside. A real inspection isn't a quick glance from the curb. Our inspectors physically access the roof surface, work through every component of the system, and draw on years of experience with how different materials fail to catch developing problems before they turn into expensive emergencies.

Stormproof Roofing delivers thorough written reports with photos documenting every area worth noting. These reports are built to work for multiple purposes — supporting an insurance claim, disclosure during a home sale, assessing storm damage, or simply keeping a maintenance record. We don't treat inspections as a way to drum up unnecessary repair work. Every report we hand over is objective and based strictly on what we actually find on-site.

Getting inspected regularly builds value over time, too. A documented history of your roof's condition across several years makes patterns much easier to spot. A small patch of granule loss noted last year that's now spread noticeably tells you something a single inspection never could. We recommend clients in Aledo, IL schedule inspections annually or every other year and hold onto every report as part of their property records.

When You Need a Roof Inspection

✓Before buying or selling a property, to confirm the roof's actual condition
✓After any major storm — wind, hail, or a nearby tree impact
✓Once your roof hits the 10-year mark, then every 2 to 3 years after that
✓Before you file or negotiate an insurance claim for roof damage
✓If you notice interior stains, attic moisture, or a sudden jump in energy costs
✓After any rooftop work done by HVAC, satellite, or solar installation crews

Inspection Types

The Roof Inspections We Offer

Different circumstances call for different levels of inspection. We shape each assessment around your specific need and hand over documentation in whatever format works best for your purpose.

📋

Annual Maintenance Inspection

A scheduled yearly or twice-yearly check of every roof component, gutter, attic vent, and flashing point. Catches developing issues before they turn into costly failures and gives you a documented maintenance history for your files.

🏠

Pre-Purchase Inspection

A detailed condition report performed before a home changes hands. Gives buyers an independent, professional read on the roof's age, condition, and remaining lifespan, plus any known issues that could factor into negotiations.

⛈

Post-Storm Inspection

A focused assessment after a weather event, built to catch and document every bit of storm-related damage — wind, hail, or impact — in a format ready for insurance claim submission and adjuster review.

🔒

Insurance Claim Inspection

A thorough documentation-focused inspection that produces a full damage report with photos, measurements, and itemized notes formatted specifically for insurance carriers. We work with all major homeowner's insurance providers.

Inspection Scope

Everything Our Inspectors Check

Our team works through a full checklist covering every part of your roofing system, from the ridge line down to the gutter outlets.

🏠

Shingles and Surface Materials

A complete look at shingle condition — granule retention, tab integrity, sealant bonds, blistering, cupping, curling, and any early signs of aging or manufacturing defects across every visible surface.

🏛

Flashing Components

A close review of chimney step flashing, counter flashing, valley flashing, pipe boot collars, skylight curbs, and wall transitions, checking for corrosion, separation, poor sealing, or wind damage.

🏪

Structural Elements

A visual check of the ridge, hips, valleys, soffits, and fascia for rot, moisture damage, sagging, or deterioration that could point to problems in the deck or framing underneath.

💧

Drainage Systems

A review of your gutters — proper attachment, adequate slope, no sagging, debris buildup, and downspout condition and placement — to confirm water is being routed safely away from your foundation.

👁

Attic Ventilation

A check of ridge vents, soffit vents, and any powered ventilation to confirm your attic airflow is balanced and working properly, since trapped heat and moisture wear down roofing materials from underneath.

📋

Written Report Delivery

You'll receive a full written report with photos covering everything we found, organized by severity, along with clear next-step recommendations for any maintenance or repairs needed.

FAQ

Common Roof Inspection Questions

What we hear most often from Aledo, IL property owners about professional roof inspections.

It depends on the size of the home, how complex the roofline is, and how many components need checking. For a typical single-family home with a standard gable or hip roof, the on-site portion usually runs 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Larger homes with multiple dormers, several roof levels, chimneys, skylights, and complicated flashing can take two to three hours to inspect properly. You'll typically get the written report with photos within one to two business days after the visit. We never speed through an inspection to hit a time target — giving every component a proper look is the whole point of the visit.

For the exterior portion — the roof surface, flashing, gutters, and structural elements — you don't strictly need to be there in person, as long as we can access all the exterior areas, including any gated yards. That said, if the inspection includes the attic interior, which we recommend whenever attic access is available, someone needs to be there to give us access to the attic hatch. We also like to have you or your representative available briefly at the end for a quick walkthrough of what we found, so you can ask questions before the formal report arrives. For pre-sale inspections, we suggest the owner or the buyer's representative stay for the whole visit.

Not really — they're different in scope and depth. A general home inspector covers the whole house: electrical, plumbing, HVAC, foundation, and roofing among many other systems. Their roof check is usually done from the ground or from a ladder at the eave, looking for obvious red flags using general standards. A roofing contractor inspection, on the other hand, comes from someone with hands-on experience installing and repairing roofs. Our inspectors get up on the roof itself, know the failure patterns specific to different materials and systems, and catch things a generalist might miss entirely. For a real estate transaction, a general home inspection is the right starting point, but if it flags any roofing concerns, a specialist inspection gives you the detail and expertise needed to understand exactly what you're dealing with and what it might cost.
