Roof Inspection By Drone
A professional inspection of a roof checks the surface, flashing, gutters and attic to catch problems early. Many local contractors offer a free visual inspection, especially after storms, while detailed or insurance inspections may carry a fee. Confirm what's included before booking, and get the findings in writing.
New Roof Guide connects you with licensed local companies - we are not a contractor.
GuideWhat does a roof inspection involve?
A thorough inspection covers the roof surface, the flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights, the gutters and drainage, and the attic and decking from underneath. The inspector is looking for wear, leaks, moisture and ventilation issues - and gives you a clear picture of whether you need a repair or a replacement.
How do you get an accurate price?
Estimates and ranges are a starting point - the number that actually matters is an itemized written quote for your address. For the bigger picture, see our complete roofing guide and the cost breakdown and calculator, then request written quotes. Comparing a few, line by line, is the surest way to a fair price.
