FAQs
What is included in your complimentary roof inspection in Kelso?
Our no-cost inspection covers a full visual assessment of your roof, gutters, flashing, vents, and attic (if accessible). We look for damaged or missing shingles, deteriorated sealants, signs of leaks or moisture, moss growth common to Kelso’s damp climate, and any structural concerns. You receive a written report with photos, our findings, and clear recommendations—whether that’s routine maintenance, repairs, or simply peace of mind that everything is in great shape.
Is there any obligation to purchase repairs after the free inspection?
Absolutely not. The inspection is 100 % complimentary and obligation-free. We provide honest, professional feedback so you can make an informed decision. If repairs or replacement are recommended, we’ll give you a detailed estimate, but you’re free to seek other quotes or postpone the work—no pressure, no hidden fees, ever.
How do I schedule a roofing inspection, and how long does it take?
Call our Kelso office or book online—most appointments can be scheduled within 48 hours. A typical single-family home inspection takes 45–60 minutes on site, and we’ll review the results with you immediately afterward. Commercial or large residential properties may take a bit longer, but we’ll provide a time estimate when you schedule.
Will the inspection affect my existing roof warranty or homeowners insurance?
No. A visual inspection performed by a licensed roofing professional does not void manufacturer warranties or insurance policies. In fact, many insurers appreciate documented inspections because they demonstrate proactive maintenance. If we identify warranty-covered defects, we can guide you through filing a claim with the manufacturer or your insurance company.
What kinds of problems do you commonly find on roofs in the Kelso area?
Given Southwest Washington’s heavy rainfall and moss-friendly environment, we often see moss or algae buildup, water-stained decking, deteriorated flashing around chimneys, and wind-blown shingle damage from Columbia River Gorge gusts. Early detection of these issues can prevent costly leaks, interior damage, and premature roof replacement.
Can you perform repairs or replacements right after the inspection if issues are found?
Small repairs such as sealing minor flashing gaps or replacing a few shingles can often be handled the same day, weather permitting. For larger repairs or full replacements, we’ll schedule work at your convenience—usually within a week—and secure any required Kelso permits. All work is completed by our certified crews using premium materials backed by industry-leading warranties.
