Frequently Asked Questions

When should I schedule a roof inspection?

We recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year for homes ten or more years old, and after any major storm event. Pre-purchase inspections are essential before closing on a home. Homes with luxury materials like slate, cedar shake, or copper benefit from annual inspections regardless of age to protect the long-term investment.

What does a roof inspection include?

A comprehensive Abby's Roofing inspection includes an exterior assessment of shingles, flashing, ridge caps, valleys, and penetrations; an interior check of the attic and ceiling spaces for water staining, daylight, and ventilation issues; photographic documentation of each finding; and a written report with prioritized recommendations.

How long does a roof inspection take?

Most residential roof inspections take 45 to 90 minutes on-site, depending on roof size and complexity. The written report typically follows within 24 to 48 hours.

Are inspections free?

We offer complimentary inspections for storm damage, pre-purchase consultations, and existing customers. For standalone diagnostic inspections of luxury-material roofs (slate, cedar, copper), a modest fee may apply, which we credit toward any repair work that follows.

What if you find damage during the inspection?

We prioritize findings by severity and provide a written report with clear recommendations. We do not perform any repair work without your authorization. If insurance documentation is needed, we provide photographs, a written assessment, and direct communication with your adjuster at no additional charge.
