The short answer

A roof inspection is a close look at your roof for storm damage, normal wear, and problems like failing flashing or poor ventilation. Through Roof Inspectors, it’s free, performed by one independent roofing partner that serves your area, takes about 45–60 minutes, and doesn’t file an insurance claim or commit you to anything.

What a roof inspection covers

A thorough inspection looks at the whole roof system, not just the shingles: storm damage like hail bruising and dented metals, normal wear, flashing, ventilation, gutters and the attic.

How the inspection works

  1. Check your storm history

    See how many significant storms are on record near your address, free in about 30 seconds. Add your contact details to see each storm’s date and hail size.

  2. Pick a time that works

    Choose a day and arrival window. You’ll see the name of your roofing partner before the appointment.

  3. The inspection

    Your inspector examines the roof (walking it when it’s safe), the edges and gutters, and the attic if you’d like. Most visits take 45–60 minutes.

  4. Photos and plain answers

    You get photos and a clear explanation: storm damage, normal wear, or a roof that’s in good shape — and what, if anything, needs attention.

What a good inspection gives you

  • Photos of every finding — a wide shot and a close-up are ideal.
  • Findings by area: each slope, the flashing, gutters, and attic.
  • A clear distinction between storm damage, normal wear, and routine maintenance.
  • Recommendations ranked by urgency — including “nothing needed” when that’s the honest answer.
  • Any limitations, such as areas that couldn’t be reached safely.

Who performs the inspection — and why we tell you

Free inspections through Roof Inspectors are performed by an independent roofing partner that serves your area. The roofing partner pays Roof Inspectors for each inspection request.

That company may also offer repairs or replacement. We say that plainly because you deserve to know who’s on your roof and why the inspection is free.

Your request goes to one partner — never a list. You’ll see their name before the appointment, you’ll get photos of anything they find, and you’re never obligated to buy anything.

If you need an independent report for a home purchase or a dispute, a licensed home inspector or engineer is the right call.

Ready when you are

Start with your address. You’ll see your storm report first; booking is optional and comes after.

  • Doesn’t file an insurance claim
  • One local partner, never a pile-on

How to prepare

  • Note when and where you first saw any leaks or ceiling stains.
  • Gather what you know about your roof’s age and past repairs — our roof age calculator can help.
  • Clear a path to the attic access if you want it checked.
  • Write down your questions. Here are good questions to ask a roofer.

Please don’t climb on the roof yourself to prepare.

FAQ

Roof inspection questions

See all questions
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes. The inspection is free to you, with no obligation and nothing to sign. It’s performed by an independent roofing partner that serves your area, which pays Roof Inspectors for the request. That company may offer repairs or replacement; you’re never required to buy anything.
Will several roofing companies call me?
No. Your request goes to one local roofing partner — never a list of contractors. We don’t sell or auction your information to multiple companies, and you’ll see the name of the company before your appointment.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
It helps but isn’t always required for an exterior inspection. Being home lets you ask questions and allows an attic check if you want one. You’ll confirm the details with your roofing partner before the appointment.
Who is the roofing partner?
Your partner is an independent roofing company that serves your area and agrees to our one-partner standard. When you book, and before anyone comes to your home, you’ll see the company’s name and its Kansas registration or Kansas City license number, so you can look it up before the visit. Any business relationship between Roof Inspectors and a partner is disclosed.
How does Roof Inspectors make money?
The roofing partner pays Roof Inspectors for each inspection request. That’s how the inspection can be free to you, and it’s why we send each request to only one company.
What areas do you serve?
Roof Inspectors serves homes within about 60 miles of Overland Park, Kansas. That covers the Kansas City metro on both sides of the state line, plus Lawrence, Topeka, St. Joseph, Leavenworth, Warrensburg, Ottawa and the towns in between. Not sure about your street? Enter your address and we’ll tell you right away whether it’s in our service area.
