Roof Inspection

Roof Inspection

Thorough assessments that uncover hidden issues before they become emergencies.

Boston homeowners often don't realize their roof has problems until a major leak appears. Our 30-point inspections identify developing issues—like cracked flashing on Charlestown townhouses or granule loss on Newton shingle roofs—before they require costly repairs.

We use drone photography to safely assess steep pitches on Victorian homes and infrared cameras to detect moisture trapped beneath surfaces, common after humid summers. For historic properties in Back Bay, we document material conditions for preservation grant applications.

Every report includes prioritized recommendations with cost estimates. We'll tell you if those missing shingles near Fenway Park require immediate attention or can be monitored. For aging roofs in Quincy, we provide replacement timelines based on remaining material life and typical failure patterns we've observed across thousands of local inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get my roof inspected?

Annually—especially after severe weather. Historic homes benefit from bi-annual checks due to their complex roof geometries.

Do you inspect flat commercial roofs?

Yes, with specialized equipment to detect membrane weaknesses. We recommend quarterly inspections for flat roofs due to pooling risks.
