Roof Inspection FAQ for Richmond Homeowners

How often should Richmond homeowners get roof inspection?
Given Richmond's hot, humid summers averaging 89°f with james river valley humidity, most homeowners benefit from roof inspection at least once a year. Spring termite swarm season monitoring (April–May) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Richmond most need roof inspection?
Historic brick homes in the Fan District and Church Hill and Colonial and Federal-style in Windsor Farms and Westover Hills are the most common home types in Richmond and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How often should a roof be inspected?
Annually is ideal, especially for roofs over 10 years old. Always inspect after significant hail or wind events, and before selling or buying a home.
Will a roofing company give me an honest inspection, or just try to sell me a new roof?
Reputable roofers provide honest assessments. We provide detailed written reports with photos. If we recommend replacement, we explain exactly why — get a second opinion on any major recommendation.
What does an inspection include?
We inspect shingles (missing, cracked, curling, granule loss), flashings, valleys, pipe boots, ridge cap, gutters, fascia, soffits, and the attic interior for moisture or structural concerns.
Can you inspect my roof without walking on it?
Yes. For steep, fragile, or complex roofs, we use drone inspection with high-resolution cameras and can provide equally thorough assessments without physically walking the surface.
