A professional roof inspection is among the most valuable protective measures available to Iowa property owners. Our 52-point forensic inspections produce a detailed written report with photography, condition ratings, estimated remaining service life, and a prioritized schedule of recommended interventions.
When a Professional Inspection Is Warranted
- Prior to acquisition or disposition of residential property
- Following any storm event involving hail above quarter-size or winds exceeding 60 mph
- As an annual maintenance protocol for structures with roofs aged 10 years or more
- After any third-party work involving roof penetration — solar, HVAC, antennas
- When early-warning indicators are present — granule loss in gutters, minor ceiling staining
Scope of Our 52-Point Assessment
Our licensed inspectors evaluate every component of the roofing assembly: shingle surface condition and granule retention, flashing integrity at all penetration points, gutter and downspout alignment and condition, soffit and fascia integrity, attic ventilation adequacy and airflow measurements, accessible deck condition, chimney and skylight seal integrity, and biological growth assessment.
All clients receive a written inspection report within 24 hours of the site visit, including photographic documentation, component-level condition ratings, estimated remaining service life, and a prioritized intervention schedule.
Fee Schedule
- Standard residential inspection: $150 to $250
- Pre-acquisition inspection with buyer consultation: $200 to $300
- Post-storm insurance documentation inspection: Complimentary when repair work is commissioned
