WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE FROM THE GROUND, CAN COST YOU LATER
At Rebel Roofer, we take a thorough approach to every roof inspection. We begin with a full visual assessment, checking for signs of aging, damage, or missing shingles. We pay special attention to cracks, curling edges, granule loss, and attic ventilation — key indicators of roof stress and long-term performance. Our team also inspects critical components like flashing and seals around chimneys, vents, and skylights. Finally, we review your gutters, downspouts, and evaluate the condition beneath the surface, including underlayment and decking, to detect any hidden concerns before they become costly problems.
Join the rebellion against shortcuts. Welcome to roofing done right.
Let us show you what peace of mind really looks like.
Complimentary Roof Replacement Inspection
Smart, thorough, and built around your investment.
We respect your time — and your decision to invest in a better roofing system. Before we finalize your estimate and offer industry-leading warranties, we need to confirm a few key details on-site.
If you already understand that we don’t compete with low-quality materials or corner-cutting bids, you’re in the right place. While our pricing is fair, it reflects superior value, performance, and long-term peace of mind.
What happens During Inspection:
Verify roof measurements and slope from the aerial report
Confirm how many layers of shingles are on the roof
Inspect walls, skylights, chimneys, and roof penetrations
Check gutter condition and functionality
Assess the plywood/decking beneath your shingles
If needed, we’ll discuss gutter replacement or additional protection upgrades. Our goal is to ensure a clean, secure base for proper installation — including sealing decking joints and placing ice & water shield correctly at the eaves.
What to Expect After the Inspection:
Your quote may adjust by 5–10% based on field conditions to ensure full coverage under our workmanship warranty. No surprises — just smart planning.
You’ll receive a 21-point assessment at no cost.
