FAQs
Why should I hire a certified roof inspector instead of checking the roof myself?
Certified inspectors are trained to spot hidden damage, moisture intrusion, and installation flaws the untrained eye misses. We carry state‐recognized credentials, follow ASTM and NRCA inspection standards, and carry liability insurance—offering you professional accuracy and financial protection that DIY checks cannot provide.
How often should roofs in Delano be inspected?
Because Delano experiences intense summer heat, occasional high winds, and winter rains, we recommend a full professional inspection every 12 months for homes and every 6 months for commercial or flat roofs. Additional inspections are smart after major wind or hail events to document storm damage for insurance purposes.
What is included in your certified roof inspection service?
Our inspection covers 40+ checklist items. We examine shingles or membranes, flashing, vents, skylights, gutters, decking, attic ventilation, insulation, and structural components. Using moisture meters, infrared cameras, and drone imagery where needed, we detect leaks, heat loss, and compromised fasteners. You receive a detailed digital report with photos, condition grades, and prioritized repair recommendations.
How long does a typical roof inspection take, and will it disrupt my day?
Most single-family homes take 60–90 minutes on site; larger or complex roofs may run 2–3 hours. You can stay in your home or business—noise and disruption are minimal. We only need clear access to the attic hatch, electrical outlet for testing tools, and perimeter space to set up ladders or drones.
Will I get a written report and cost estimate for any repairs?
Yes. Within 24 hours you receive a PDF and cloud link containing annotated photos, deficiency descriptions, life-expectancy projections, and a clear pass/fail summary for real-estate transactions. If repairs are needed, we attach a line-item estimate that meets California Home Improvement Contract requirements so you can budget or seek competitive bids.
Do your inspections comply with Delano and Kern County building codes?
Absolutely. Our inspectors stay current on California Residential Code (CRC), Title 24 energy regulations, and Kern County amendments. We verify proper underlayment, fire-rated assemblies, fastening patterns, and attic ventilation ratios specific to our seismic and wildfire zone. Compliance notes in your report help avoid permit delays and ensure your roof meets local safety standards.
