Roof Inpections
Know the Condition of Your Roof Before It’s Too Late
When was the last time your roof was inspected? Whether you’re concerned about a recent storm, planning to sell your home, or just want peace of mind, a professional roof inspection is one of the smartest steps you can take. The Home Renovation Group offers thorough, reliable roof inspections for homeowners and businesses throughout Pittsburgh, Washington County, and surrounding areas in Western Pennsylvania.
Our licensed roofing professionals evaluate your roof from top to bottom, catching small issues before they become big problems and giving you honest insight into your roof’s condition, lifespan, and repair needs.
Why Roof Inspections Matter
Your roof works hard year-round, protecting your home from wind, rain, snow, heat, and debris. Over time, even the most durable roofing system can develop damage that isn’t immediately visible. A roof inspection gives you a full picture of your roof’s current condition and helps you make informed decisions about repairs, maintenance, or replacement.
Benefits of a professional roof inspection:
- Detect hidden leaks or storm damage
- Prevent water damage and mold
- Extend the life of your roof
- Identify safety or structural hazards
- Get ahead of costly emergency repairs
- Satisfy insurance or warranty requirements
- Prepare for home sale or real estate transaction
At The Home Renovation Group, we perform every inspection with honesty and precision, no scare tactics, no pressure to replace. Just expert insight and practical recommendations.
Who Needs a Roof Inspection?
We recommend roof inspections for a variety of situations, not just when a problem arises.
You should schedule an inspection if:
- Your roof is over 10 years old and hasn’t been checked recently
- You’ve experienced a major storm, hail, or high winds
- You’re buying or selling a residential or commercial property
- You notice water stains, sagging ceilings, or mildew smells
- You want to maintain your roof and prevent costly repairs
- You need documentation for an insurance claim or warranty
What Our Roof Inspections Include
Our inspections are detailed and comprehensive. We examine every part of your roofing system to assess its performance, safety, and remaining lifespan.
Our roof inspections include:
Exterior Examination
We check for missing, curling, or damaged shingles; exposed nails; soft spots; rusted flashing; clogged gutters; and signs of water pooling or poor drainage.
Interior Assessment
We inspect attic spaces for signs of water intrusion, mold, insulation issues, and ventilation problems, often the first indicators of a failing roof.
Structural Review
We look at the roofline for sagging, shifting, or uneven areas that could signal compromised decking or rafters.
Flashing and Penetrations
We assess all vents, chimneys, skylights, and flashing areas for proper sealing and signs of deterioration.
Moisture Detection
In some cases, we use moisture meters or infrared tools to detect hidden water damage behind walls or under roofing materials.
You’ll receive a clear summary of our findings and photos if needed. We’ll explain what’s working, what needs attention, and whether your roof can be maintained with repairs, or if it’s nearing the end of its service life.
Pre-Purchase & Pre-Sale Roof Inspections
If you’re buying or selling a home, a roof inspection is essential. Sellers can avoid surprises during the buyer’s inspection and make proactive repairs that improve marketability. Buyers gain confidence that the roof won’t lead to unexpected costs after closing.
We provide real estate roof inspections with fast turnaround, accurate assessments, and clear documentation that agents, buyers, and lenders can rely on.
Roof Certifications & Insurance Reports
Some insurance companies require a roof inspection before issuing or renewing a policy. We provide certified roof inspections that satisfy these requirements, complete with formal reports detailing age, condition, and any concerns.
We can also assist with documentation and estimates for roof damage related to storms or natural wear, helping you navigate the insurance process with confidence.
