FAQs
What is included in a photo-rich roof inspection report?
Our Delano roof inspection reports combine 30–60 high-resolution images with detailed written observations. Each photo is time-stamped, labeled, and linked to a description that explains the condition of shingles, flashing, valleys, gutters, ventilation, and structural components. The report also contains a summary of deficiencies, maintenance recommendations, an estimated life-expectancy chart, and a repair cost range so you can plan next steps confidently.
Why are photo-rich reports better than traditional inspections?
Traditional written reports rely on text and a few broad photos, which can leave room for interpretation. A photo-rich report visually documents every finding, making problems—and proof of sound areas—undeniable. This transparency speeds up insurance claims, helps real-estate transactions close faster, and gives homeowners clear evidence when comparing repair bids. Visual documentation also serves as a baseline record for future inspections.
How soon after the inspection will I receive my report?
In most cases you’ll receive your full digital report within 24 hours. For larger or commercial roofs we may require up to 48 hours to process and annotate all images. You’ll get a secure link by email that allows you to view, download, or share the PDF instantly with insurers, real-estate agents, or contractors.
Do you perform roof inspections in Delano year-round?
Yes. Our team is equipped to inspect roofs in every season. During winter we use drone imaging and moisture meters to safely document snow-covered or icy roofs without compromising accuracy. If weather conditions prevent safe ladder access, we schedule a prompt return visit at no extra charge.
Will the photos be annotated so my insurance or mortgage company understands them?
Absolutely. Each image is tagged with location markers (e.g., "north slope, upper ridge"), arrows highlighting damage, and concise captions describing the issue and potential cause. This formatting meets the documentation standards of most major insurers and lenders, reducing the chance of claim disputes or underwriting delays.
How much does a professional roof inspection cost, and is the fee credited toward repairs?
For single-family homes in Delano, a standard photo-rich inspection is $199. Larger or multi-family structures range from $249–$399 depending on square footage and roof complexity. If you hire us to complete recommended repairs within 45 days, 100% of the inspection fee is applied as a credit toward the repair invoice.
