Who’s helping you monitor your roofing project?
A new roof is one of the biggest checks you’ll ever write. The Roof Inspectors stand on your side of the job, from the contract to the last shingle, so you get the roof you paid for.
Your project. Our watchful eye.
Independent guidance and inspections from beginning to end. We don’t sell roofs. We make sure yours is done right.
Project oversight
We inspect before, during and after installation, documenting the work while problems can still be seen and fixed.
Contract review
We read the proposal before you sign: materials, brands, scope, permits, payment terms and warranties, in plain language.
Contractor vetting
We check licensing, insurance, years in business, complaints and references so you hire a roofer with a record you can trust.
A poor roof costs you twice.
First in leaks and costly repairs. Then again when you sell.
Workmanship problems don’t stay hidden forever. When you put your home on the market, the buyer’s home inspector will be on that roof. Defects found then can mean repair demands, a lower price, a delayed closing or a sale that falls through.
Don’t let a buyer’s inspector find it first.
Catching shortcuts while the crew is still on site is far cheaper than paying for them at closing. Our inspection records give you a documented history of how your roof was installed.
The shortcuts you’d never see from the ground.
Many roofing contractors cut corners to finish faster or bid lower. These are some of the shortcuts we look for.
Most homeowners never climb a ladder during their roof replacement. That’s exactly why shortcuts happen, and why someone qualified should be watching.
- !Old, brittle stockShingles and underlayment that sat in a hot warehouse or yard too long can be dried out and brittle before they ever reach your roof.
- !Metal with no paper trailMetal roofing should be documented with its point of origin and how it was manufactured.
- !Agricultural-grade metalAsk for proof that panels are residential-grade roofing, not agricultural-grade metal meant for barns and sheds.
- !Rushed production crewsCrews paid by how much they finish each day have every reason to skip steps at flashing, edges and penetrations.
True craftsmen are hard to find.
Quality work in the U.S. has taken a tremendous turn for the worse, and true craftsmen are very hard to find.
A low price is often a sign that a contractor is using cheap, unqualified labor, then pointing to “low overhead” as the reason for the bargain. The savings rarely last once the problems start.
The Roof Inspectors protect you from contractors who deliver poor workmanship.
Before you take the lowest bid, ask:
- Who is actually doing the work, and how experienced are they?
- Are the materials fresh, named by brand, and documented?
- How long has this company been in business under this name?
- Who stands behind the workmanship warranty in five years?
Everyone knows the job is being watched.
When you hire The Roof Inspectors, our yard sign goes up in your front yard.
It tells the contractor and every worker on your roof that the job is being professionally inspected. Crews know their work will be checked, and that alone changes how carefully a roof goes on.
Buying a roof? Know the facts before you sign.
High-pressure sales, vague contracts and cheap materials catch thousands of Florida homeowners every year.
Our free What You Need to Know guide walks you through the questions to ask, the red flags to watch for and what should be in writing before any work begins.
Good contractors use us too.
Licensed roofing contractors hire The Roof Inspectors to make sure their own crews aren’t taking shortcuts to finish fast. It’s affordable insurance against angry customers and costly warranty callbacks.
Protect your name and your margins.
Every warranty call you avoid is money you keep, and every job done right is a referral you earn.
