When You Need Your Roof Inspected
You should have a residential roof inspection performed if it’s getting close to the lifespan, you’re experiencing leaks during heavy rain, you’re seeing a lot of nails on the ground when it’s windy out, or you’re seeing mold spots on your ceiling.
It’s best to have an experienced and licensed roofer handle this, even if you are not afraid of getting up on a ladder and walking around on your roof. Putting aside your personal safety, there are more than a few things an inexperienced eye is likely to miss.
Roof inspections conducted by trained professionals with the necessary knowledge and expertise can best identify issues that potentially affect not only your comfort and safety but also your home’s resale value.
Proper residential roof inspections provide you with the peace of mind that your roof is functioning properly and is safe for everyone underneath. If your roof is damaged, an inspection can help you understand the kind of work needed to repair it and how much to budget for the cost of roof repairs or, in some cases, roof replacement.
What’s Involved In a Roof Inspection?
The primary focus of an inspection is to assess the overall structural integrity and functional efficiency of your residential roof. An Elevated roofing inspector evaluates the roof’s structure, materials, ventilation, drainage, and overall condition.
2 Main Reasons Residential Roof Inspections are Conducted
As part of regular roof maintenance
Prior to assessing a roof problem that may require repairs or even an entire roof replacement
Roofs require regular maintenance and inspection to ensure it’s in good condition. Maintenance involves inspecting and repairing any minor damages, cleaning away debris, and ensuring proper drainage. This prevents costly damages and extends the life of your roof.
Before any roof service is conducted, a trained and licensed Elevated roofer looks for missing shingles, pooling water, cracks or holes, mildew or mold, rooting wood, and pest infestations, as well as underlying structural conditions to determine if a roof replacement or roof repair is needed. Equally important, Elevated Roofing measures your roof to provide an accurate estimate for services and recommend a maintenance plan to extend the useful life of your residence’s roof.
4 Reasons to Perform a Roof Inspection
Leaky Roof
Your residential building is experiencing leaks during storms, and/or mold is appearing on your walls or ceilings.
Storm Damage
Your roof experienced storm damage, such as fallen tree limbs, several roof shingles found on the ground, and/or water spots on the ceiling. Your insurance company requires a professional roof inspection to confirm any claims.
Maintenance
Every 3-5 years to ensure the integrity of your roof and/or as part of your regular roof maintenance. If your roof’s life expectancy is halfway over, and you haven’t had your roof inspection yet.
New Home
If you’re buying a home, a roof inspection assesses the roof’s structural integrity; any issues discovered could help negotiate a lower purchase price to reflect the likelihood of repairs or replacement.

Had my roof, gutters, & skylight replaced—couldn’t be happier! The team was professional, efficient, and detail-oriented.
Storm Damage
Storm damage hit us. Elevated arrived next morning & guided us through everything with great communication. His crew finished our house, garage, & small building in 1 day!
Matt was able to come out and diagnosed the problem with our leaking roof that a different roofer we previously contacted didn’t even seem aware of. He explained everything thoroughly, and within a couple days he was back out and had the repair job finished at a fair price. Everyone we dealt with at Elevated was very friendly and responsive. Would definitely recommend.
I cannot recommend Elevated Roofing in Dubuque highly enough! From start to finish, they exceeded all expectations. They replaced my roof in record time without sacrificing quality, and their communication was nothing short of stellar. They were thorough in explaining the pricing, completely transparent about any issues, and upfront and honest throughout the process.Their pricing was competitive, and their secretary was incredibly helpful and kind, making the entire experience seamless. JT, the supervisor on duty for my roof, set the tone with his professionalism and courtesy. He introduced himself immediately, walked me through the entire process, and kept me informed about any challenges they encountered and how they resolved them—without requiring any extra input from me.A special shoutout to Matt and Erika for their kindness and understanding. They took the time to address my concerns and reassured me every step of the way. Amazingly, despite surprise issues that arose during the project, the team completed the roof in just one day!This level of efficiency, professionalism, and customer care is rare to find. Elevated Roofing is truly a top-tier company. A 10/10 experience—I would confidently recommend them to family and friends!
They fitted our job involving a very old metal roof that was blowing off a shed into their schedule as quickly as possible. They arrived on time and did a professional job. We have more work to be done and we will be calling Elevated Roofing to do it. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we are fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Illinois 104.019255, Iowa C147349, and Wisconsin DC-022300173.
You don’t want a fly-by-night contractor that, in many cases, leaves your roof in worse condition than it was or just takes the down payment and runs. We are happy to provide proof of insurance, licensing, and references.
- Does my roof need to be repaired or replaced?
The best way to determine if your roof needs repairs or a full replacement is with a professional inspection. We assess your roof’s condition and provide the most practical solution that fits your budget and long-term needs.
If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacing it is often the more cost-effective option rather than making repeated repairs.
For storm-damaged roofs, insurance companies typically require repairs if less than 30% of the roof is affected. If the damage exceeds 30%, they will likely recommend a full replacement to ensure long-term protection.
- What is your charge for a roof inspection?
Elevated Roofing conducts a free in-person roof inspection to determine whether a replacement or repairs is the best course of action. Please Note: We do not offer free inspections for prospective buyers or sellers.
- How do we get started?
Contact us today to schedule a detailed roof inspection or consultation with your new construction builder. Next, we will chat about your roofing wants and needs. Then, we will provide you with an accurate estimate and go over any questions you may have. Hassle and obligation-free!
