Roof Inspection in Park Ridge, IL
Detailed written inspections with photos — for pre-sale, post-storm, or peace-of-mind.
What this service covers
A real roof inspection isn't a five-minute drive-by. We're on the roof and in the attic. We document the field, ridge, rakes, eaves, valleys, flashing, penetrations, ventilation, and gutters. You get a written report with photos, condition grades, urgency flags, and a remaining-life estimate.
We provide inspections for three main reasons in Park Ridge: pre-sale (often required by buyers' attorneys), post-storm (for insurance documentation), and annual or biannual (for older roofs you want to nurse to the end of their service life).
Why it matters in Park Ridge
Real estate transactions in Park Ridge frequently include a roof condition letter. Buyer's attorneys ask for them, especially on homes with roofs over 12 years old. Our written inspection reports are formatted to satisfy that request and have been accepted across the local agent community.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a roof inspection cost?
We offer free estimate inspections for repair or replacement work. Formal written inspection reports for real estate or insurance purposes are priced per home — we'll quote you on the call.
Will the report help me at sale?
Yes. A clean inspection report is a strong selling document. If issues exist, the report lets you address them on your timeline before they show up as buyer leverage.
Do you inspect roofs you didn't install?
Yes. Most of our inspections are on homes we've never touched before.
