Annual roof inspections catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. We provide thorough, documented inspections throughout Portland metro — including full photo reports and honest, no-pressure recommendations.
📞 Schedule Your InspectionPortland's wet season — October through April — puts more cumulative stress on a roof than almost anywhere in the continental US. Moss grows aggressively, flashing sealants deteriorate, and small cracks in shingles become active leaks before homeowners notice anything inside. An annual inspection typically costs far less than a single water-damage repair.
We also recommend inspections after any major storm, when buying or selling a home, or if your roof is 10+ years old and hasn't been recently evaluated.
We inspect every visible shingle section for cracking, curling, granule loss, blistering, and wind damage. Missing shingles are flagged immediately. We note the estimated remaining lifespan and any sections showing accelerated wear.
Chimney flashing, skylight flashing, pipe boot seals, ridge cap, and wall-to-roof transitions are inspected for separation, cracked caulk, rust, and water infiltration points. Flashing failures are the #1 cause of roof leaks in Portland homes.
We assess moss and algae coverage, rate the severity, and provide treatment recommendations. Heavy moss can lift shingles and void manufacturer warranties — catching it early saves thousands.
Gutters are inspected for proper slope, bracket attachment, separation from fascia, and blockages that cause water backup under shingles. Downspout routing and splash block placement are evaluated.
Where accessible, we look for soft spots, sagging, and signs of rot in the roof deck. Any visible rafter or truss issues visible from inside the attic are noted if attic access is available.
Poor attic ventilation accelerates shingle aging and can cause ice dams during rare Portland freeze events. We assess ridge vents, soffit vents, and overall ventilation adequacy.

Standard residential roof inspections for Portland metro homes start at $150–$250 depending on roof size and pitch. This fee is credited toward any repair work we complete within 60 days of the inspection. For home buyers, we offer expedited 24-hour report turnaround.
Most single-family home inspections take 45–90 minutes on-site, depending on roof complexity. The written photo report is delivered within 24 hours of the inspection.
Not necessarily for the exterior inspection. However, if you'd like us to inspect attic ventilation or check for interior leak staining, we'd need brief interior access. We're happy to coordinate around your schedule.
No. Our inspectors provide an honest condition report. If your roof is in good shape, we'll tell you that — and what to watch for. We'd rather earn your trust now than push an unnecessary sale.
