A roof inspection should end with photos and a number, not a sales pitch. We walk the roof, check the attic from underneath, photograph what we find, and send you a written report with an honest estimate of remaining life. It is free, it takes about 45 minutes, and plenty of them end with us telling you the roof is fine and to call us in five years.
What the inspection covers
What we check
- Shingle condition: granule loss, curling, cracking, lifted or creased tabs
- Every penetration: pipe boots, vents, chimney and skylight flashing
- Valleys, ridges, drip edge and the eave detail where ice dams start
- Gutters and downspouts, including granule accumulation as a wear indicator
- Attic from inside: staining, daylight, wet insulation, frost on the sheathing
- Ventilation math, because most Minot attics are under-vented at the intake
When to book one
- After any hail or high wind event, within weeks not months
- Before buying a house, so the roof is a negotiation item not a surprise
- When your roof passes 15 years, to plan replacement rather than react to a leak
- Before listing your home, so you find the problem before the buyer's inspector does
What you get
- Dated photo report emailed the same day
- Plain-language condition summary and remaining life estimate
- Repair-or-replace recommendation with the reasoning shown
- A written quote only if you ask for one
Not sure this is what you need?
Call (701) 535-0142 and describe what you are seeing. Half the time we can tell you over the phone whether it is urgent, and we will say so rather than book an appointment you do not need.
Questions we get asked
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes, for homes and businesses in our service area. There is no charge and no obligation. We do it because roughly a third of inspections turn into work eventually, and that is a better business than pressuring the other two thirds.
How long does an inspection take?
About 45 minutes for a typical Minot home, including the attic. Larger or cut-up roofs take longer. You get the photo report the same day.
Do you inspect for real estate transactions?
Yes. We provide a written condition report suitable for a purchase negotiation. Note that a roof inspection is not a full home inspection and does not replace one.
Will you get on the roof or just look from the ground?
We get on the roof unless it is unsafe: active ice, wind over about 25 mph, or a pitch that needs fall protection we have not staged. Drone photos cover those cases.
