Denver’s harsh climate—blazing summer sun, pounding hail, heavy snow, high winds, and extreme temperature fluctuations—can cause hidden damage to residential roofs, including cracked shingles, dented tiles, compromised flashing, and clogged vents. A detailed roof inspection uncovers these problems before they lead to leaks, ice dams, or costly interior repairs. We serve homeowners in Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Centennial, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Highlands Ranch, Parker, and surrounding communities within a 50-mile radius.
Our inspections are performed exclusively for residential properties—single-family homes, townhouses, and condominiums—delivering thorough, unbiased evaluations with expertise in Colorado’s Front Range weather challenges.
Advantages of Our Inspections
Proactive Issue Discovery
Identifying small concerns like hail bruising or wind-lifted shingles early prevents major damage during sudden storms or winter snow loads.
Clear, Visual Reporting
Every inspection includes high-quality photos and an easy-to-understand report, useful for tracking changes or supporting insurance claims after hail or wind events.
Specialized Local Knowledge
We know how intense UV, thermal shock, and hail impact common materials in Denver-area homes, from asphalt shingles in Aurora to tile roofs in Highlands Ranch.
Reliable Homeowner Confidence
A comprehensive check gives you certainty about your roof’s condition heading into hail season or heavy snow months.
Areas We Thoroughly Examine
Shingles and Tiles
We look for hail dents, cracking, curling, granule loss, or wind damage typical in high-altitude sun and storms.
Flashing Details
Metal flashing around chimneys, vents, valleys, and skylights is checked for dents, gaps, or separation.
Gutters and Drainage
Gutters are evaluated for clogs, proper alignment, hail damage, and signs of overflow that could contribute to ice dams.
Attic and Ventilation
With access, we assess attic spaces for moisture, insulation issues, or inadequate airflow that affects energy efficiency.
Vents and Penetrations
Roof vents, pipe boots, and exhausts are inspected for hail impact, blockages, or loose seals.
Overall Structure
We check for sagging, deck soft spots, or signs of stress from snow weight or thermal expansion.
Our Inspection Steps
Pre-Inspection Conversation
We discuss your roof’s history, any recent hail or wind events, leak concerns, or upcoming insurance renewals to focus the visit effectively.
Ground-Level Overview
The process begins with a complete visual scan from ground level, noting overall condition, visible hail patterns, debris, and gutter status.
Close-Up Roof Examination
Using safe access methods, we carefully walk the roof (or use drones on steep pitches) to examine materials, flashing, and penetrations up close, especially checking for hail bruising common in Denver storms.
Interior and Attic Review
If accessible, we inspect attic spaces and interior ceilings for signs of past leaks, moisture, or ventilation deficiencies.
Gutter and Drainage Testing
Gutters are probed for blockages, and downspouts checked for flow to confirm effective water management.
Photography and Documentation
All notable findings are photographed in detail and annotated for your records.
Report Delivery and Discussion
You receive a digital report with labeled photos and prioritized recommendations, followed by a clear explanation of findings and next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get my roof inspected in Denver?
We recommend at least annually, ideally in spring after winter snow and before hail season starts. Homes that have experienced recent hail or high winds benefit from additional checks—we’ll help you set the right schedule!
What signs indicate I need an inspection?
Granules in gutters, visible hail dents from the ground, interior ceiling spots, higher energy bills, or loose materials after wind storms are key indicators. Even without obvious signs, proactive checks catch hidden issues.
Will you walk on my roof if it’s steep or hail-damaged?
Safety is priority—we use careful techniques on walkable surfaces and high-resolution drones for steep, fragile, or recently damaged roofs to get complete views without risk.
Does the inspection cover the attic?
Yes, when safe access is available—it’s crucial for spotting hidden moisture or ventilation problems that affect the whole system.
How long does an inspection typically take?
Most homes require 1–2 hours, depending on size and complexity. We’re thorough but efficient.
What happens if problems are found?
We’ll show you photos, explain severity (urgent vs. monitor), and offer straightforward options—maintenance, repairs, or planning for replacement. No sales pressure, just honest advice.
Do you use drones?
Yes—drone imagery is excellent for steep roofs, multi-level homes, or when hail has made surfaces fragile, providing clear, detailed views safely.
Do you inspect homes outside central Denver?
We’re happy to! We cover residential properties within 50 miles, including Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Centennial, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Highlands Ranch, Parker, and nearby areas.
