FAQs
What is a photo-rich roof inspection report, and how is it different from a standard inspection?
A photo-rich report combines a traditional hands-on roof inspection with dozens of high-resolution images that document every finding. Each photo is time-stamped, labeled, and cross-referenced with written observations so you can see exactly where any issues are located. This visual proof eliminates guesswork, makes it easier to compare conditions over time, and provides clear documentation for insurance carriers, real-estate transactions, and warranty claims.
How do your inspectors conduct roof inspections in Rockford's climate?
Our certified inspectors start with a safety check, then use drones for aerial photos and a ladder-assisted walk-through for close-ups of flashing, penetrations, and shingles. We pay special attention to Midwest-specific stress points—ice-dam zones, wind-lifted shingle edges, and hail bruising—common in Rockford’s four-season climate. Moisture meters and infrared scans are used when temperatures allow, ensuring hidden leaks are detected even under snow melt or summer heat.
What types of roofing issues are most commonly discovered during inspections in the Rockford area?
In Rockford we frequently document hail impacts, wind-torn shingles from spring storms, ice-dam damage along eaves, and premature shingle granule loss caused by temperature swings. We also see flashing gaps around chimneys and skylights, clogged or undersized gutters that back up during heavy rains, and ventilation deficiencies that trap attic moisture. Our photo report highlights each issue with zoomed-in images and recommended corrective actions.
How quickly will I receive my photo-rich inspection report, and what will it include?
You’ll receive a secure digital link to your report within 24 hours of the site visit—often the same day. The report includes: an overall roof condition summary, 30–60 annotated photos, a marked aerial map, a maintenance checklist, and priority ratings for each issue (urgent, monitor, or routine). You can download it as a PDF, share it with contractors or insurers, and request a complimentary follow-up call to review the findings.
Will the photo report help with insurance claims or warranty work?
Yes. Insurers and manufacturers prefer objective, date-stamped evidence. Our reports meet or exceed the photo documentation standards required by most carriers and major shingle brands. The organized layout—before-and-after views, damage close-ups, and measurements—makes adjuster reviews faster and often shortens claim processing times. If needed, we can also supply a supplemental letter that aligns our findings with policy language or warranty terms.
How much does a photo-rich roof inspection cost, and do you offer any discounts?
A stand-alone photo-rich inspection for a typical single-family home in Rockford starts at $199. Homes over 4,000 sq ft or with steep-slope or multi-level sections may range up to $299 due to extended photo capture and safety setup. We offer $25 discounts for military families, first responders, and repeat annual inspection clients. If you proceed with a repair or replacement through our roofing division, the inspection fee is fully credited to your project.
