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.

I have worked with a lot of contractors over the years both personally and professionally. In my current role, I provide internal training related to the client experience. So, I'm pretty tuned in to when I am getting good service or not.Elevated Roofing is a rare contractor providing exceptional service. I feel like they had been through my training and implemented all of it!When looking for a roofing contractor, I asked another contractor that had recently done work for me, if they had any recommendations and they provided me with someone they would highly recimmend, but warned me that they might be booked up a year out. I searched the Internet and found five contractors I felt comfortable reaching out to, which included the recommended contractor. Only 2 even responded to my inquiry, with Matt and Elevated Roofing being the first, and was almost an immediate responseMatt met with me later that week and was very personable and provided me with options and explained their process very well. I received estimates form both contractors. Matt provided all of their licensing and insurance information along with other pertinent information. The other contractor basically gave me their price and that was it. The two were within 1% of each other on price, so I knew the prices were good. The fact that Elevated Roofing was less was merely a slight bonus, as I would have went with them had the prices been reversed just based on the experience.From there the communication was excellent, Erika was great getting me scheduled and handling payments.J.T. was the PM on my job and ciuldn't have been better. He visited prior to the scheduled date to check out the existing conditions himself and met with me to set the expectations and answer additional questions. The day of work, he was sending me photos at every stage of the job and giving me updates.The crew was great. They were very respectful and did a great job of keeping the site cleaned up throughout the process.Hiring a contractor can be stressful, but Elevated Roofing made the whole process comfortable and gave me the confidence that all would go well. I would highly recommend them.

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.
