    A professional roof assessment is a useful first step for a roofing concern. Here is what Highlander may review while preparing a free estimate.

    Before the Inspection

    We'll schedule a convenient time and ask a few basic questions about your roof's age, any known issues, and your concerns.

    During the Inspection (30–60 Minutes)

    Exterior Assessment

    • Shingle/metal panel condition
    • Flashing integrity (chimneys, vents, walls)
    • Gutter and drainage system
    • Soffit and fascia condition
    • Ridge cap and valley condition
    • Visible penetration sealing

    Interior Assessment (if accessible)

    • Attic ventilation check
    • Insulation condition
    • Signs of moisture or leaks
    • Structural integrity of roof deck

    Documentation

    We photograph everything — good and bad — so you have a complete record of your roof's current condition.

    After the Inspection

    You'll receive:

    • Written condition report with photos
    • Honest recommendation — repair, maintain, or replace
    • Transparent cost estimate if work is needed
    • No pressure. The report is yours whether you hire us or not.
