A roof inspection is the fastest way to find out exactly what condition your roof is in before a small problem turns into an expensive one. You should schedule an inspection if your roof is more than 10 years old and has not been checked recently, if you are buying or selling a home, if you have noticed anything unusual like a stain on the ceiling or shingles in the yard, or after any significant storm that may have caused damage you cannot see from the ground.
Many homeowners in Bloomington do not think about their roof until something goes wrong. By then, the damage may have been developing for months or even years. A professional inspection catches issues early when they are cheap to fix, before they turn into leaks, rot, or structural damage that costs thousands.
Our inspections are thorough. We get on the roof and check every component of the system, not just the visible shingles. We inspect the shingles or roofing material for wear, cracking, curling, and granule loss. We check all flashing around chimneys, walls, vents, and skylights. We examine pipe boots, ridge caps, and edge details. We look at valleys and low spots where water collects. We check the gutters and downspouts for damage and blockages.
Inside the home, we inspect the attic for signs of leaks, moisture, insulation condition, and ventilation. Poor ventilation is one of the most common hidden problems we find, and it shortens the life of your roof significantly. After the inspection, you get an honest assessment of your roof’s condition and recommendations for any work that needs to be done. No pressure, no obligation.
Roofs in Bloomington take a beating from every season. Spring storms, summer heat and UV, fall debris, and winter ice all leave their mark. Homes in older neighborhoods near Indiana University often have roofs that have been patched and repaired over the years without a comprehensive inspection to assess the overall condition. New construction is not immune either, as builder-grade installations sometimes cut corners on ventilation or flashing.

A thorough roof inspection covers the full roofing system. On the exterior, we check shingles for wear, cracking, and granule loss, inspect all flashing, pipe boots, ridge caps, and edge details, examine valleys and drainage paths, and check gutters and downspouts. Inside, we inspect the attic for signs of leaks, moisture damage, insulation condition, and ventilation. After the inspection, you get an honest assessment and recommendations.
We recommend a professional inspection at least once every two to three years for roofs in good condition, and annually for roofs that are older than 15 years. You should also schedule an inspection after any major storm, if you notice anything unusual like a ceiling stain or shingles in your yard, or if you are buying or selling a home. Regular inspections catch small problems before they become expensive repairs.
Yes. A roof inspection is one of the most cost-effective things you can do to protect your home. Catching a small issue like a failed pipe boot or a lifted shingle early costs very little to fix. Letting that same issue go unnoticed for a year or two can lead to water damage, rot, mold, and repairs that cost thousands. Our inspections are free, so there is no financial reason not to get one.
For the exterior portion of the inspection, you do not need to be home. However, if you want us to inspect the attic for signs of leaks, moisture, and ventilation issues, someone will need to be there to let us inside. The attic inspection is an important part of the process because many roof problems show up inside before they are visible on the outside. We will work with your schedule to find a time that works.
You can look at your roof from the ground and note obvious issues like missing shingles or sagging areas, but a real inspection requires getting on the roof to check flashing, sealants, pipe boots, and the condition of the shingles up close. It also requires going into the attic to check for moisture, ventilation, and insulation problems. Working at roof height carries safety risks, and most homeowners miss the subtle signs that a professional would catch.
The most common problems we find during inspections in Bloomington are damaged or missing shingles from wind and storm impact, failed sealant around pipe boots and flashing, clogged or damaged gutters that back water under the roofline, poor attic ventilation that causes heat and moisture buildup, and ice dam damage along the eaves. Many homeowners are surprised by what we find because these problems develop gradually and are not visible from the ground.
