Tile and flat roofs from the air in Peoria, Platinum job

Pre-purchase inspections, maintenance checks, storm damage, and insurance documentation

A Platinum roof inspection covers the full system: shingles or membrane condition, flashing and sealant integrity, gutters and drainage, decking for soft spots or rot, and penetration points around vents, skylights, and HVAC equipment. We also perform pre-purchase inspections, maintenance inspections, and post-storm assessments with detailed photo documentation. You get a written report every time.

Recent storm, active leak, visible damage, or an aging roof

You don't need an obvious problem to benefit from an inspection. Schedule an assessment if the roof's history is unclear, you saw hail or high winds in your area, you have water staining inside, you're buying or selling a home, your insurance carrier requested documentation, or nearby properties have reported roof damage. Early detection can limit the scope of deferred maintenance.

A thorough walk, a written report, and an honest recommendation

A roofing professional walks the full roof surface, checks transition points, and photographs anything worth documenting. Inspection time depends on roof size and complexity. You get a written report with condition notes, photos of problem areas, and a clear recommendation — whether that's no action, a targeted repair, or a full replacement evaluation. If your situation involves insurance, we document the observed condition for your carrier's review. We don't pad scopes or manufacture urgency.

Frequency: How often should I have my roof inspected?

Once a year is the standard recommendation for most homes in the Phoenix metro. We suggest scheduling in spring — before monsoon season arrives — so any wear or vulnerability is addressed before heavy rain and wind. If you've had a significant storm with hail or 60+ mph winds, schedule an inspection within a few days, even if you don't see obvious damage from the ground.

What's included: What does a roof inspection include?

Our inspection covers the full roof system: surface material condition (shingles, tile, or membrane), flashing at all transition points, ridge and hip caps, valley drainage, gutters and downspouts, soffit and fascia, visible decking condition, and all penetration points. We photograph every area of concern and note approximate age of materials where visible. You receive a written report with findings and a clear next-step recommendation.

Home purchase: Do I need an inspection before buying a home?

Yes — and we strongly recommend a dedicated roofing inspection in addition to your general home inspection. General inspectors cover a wide scope and often flag roofing as something to "monitor" without specifying what it will cost or how soon it needs to be addressed. A roofing-specific inspection gives you a real cost estimate and a clearer picture of what you're taking on. In Arizona's climate, a failing roof can mean a major decision you didn't budget for.

Pricing: Is a roof inspection free?

We offer free inspections for homeowners considering repair or replacement with Platinum. If you need a standalone inspection for a home purchase, estate, or insurance documentation with no scope of work attached, there may be a fee — we'll let you know upfront when you schedule. Either way, you get a written report and honest findings, not a sales pitch.

Our roof inspection process

  1. Schedule — Call us or submit a contact form. We'll confirm a time that works for you, typically within a few business days. Let us know if it's storm-related or time-sensitive and we'll prioritize accordingly.
  2. Inspect — A roofing professional walks the full roof, checks all critical areas, and photographs every point of concern. We cover surface condition, drainage, flashings, penetrations, and structural indicators.
  3. Document — You receive a written report with photos, condition notes, and a clear assessment of urgency. If the inspection is for insurance purposes, we provide documentation in the format your carrier needs.
  4. Recommend — We tell you exactly what we found and what we'd recommend — repair, replacement, or nothing right now. No pressure. If you decide to move forward with us, the inspection informs the scope so there are no surprises.

Arizona monsoon roof preparation

Plan an inspection before storm season so there is time to address existing wear. A roof can look intact from the street while flashing, drainage or the material beneath the surface needs attention.

What to include in the inspection

  • Flashing and penetrations: Check transitions around vents, skylights, chimneys and HVAC equipment for gaps, lifted edges and deteriorated sealant.
  • Valleys and drainage: Look for debris, displaced tile and blocked gutters or scuppers that can obstruct water flow.
  • Roof covering: Record cracked or shifted tiles, missing shingles and visible coating wear on flat or foam roofs.
  • Interior signs: Note ceiling stains or other visible evidence of water entry, including where and when it appeared.

Keep a dated condition record

Save ground-level photos of each side of the home, existing stains and visible damage, along with prior repair records. Ask for a written inspection report with photos and recommended next steps. These records help compare conditions over time; they do not by themselves establish storm causation or insurance coverage.

Make your own observations from a safe location. Leave roof access, flashing repairs, coating work and tarping to qualified professionals; do not climb onto a wet or storm-damaged roof.
