Most roof inspections are a walk around the garden with a phone camera and a quote at the end. A real one gets on the roof, into the attic, and produces something you could hand to an insurer.
What gets checked, and why
From on the roof. Sealant bonds tested by hand along the perimeter, because that is where wind uplift starts. Flashing at every wall junction, chimney and skylight. Valleys, for debris and for wear. Every penetration: vent pipes, swamp cooler curbs, satellite mounts. On tile, a sample lifted to look at the underlayment beneath, since the tile is a rain screen and the membrane below it is the actual waterproofing.
From inside the attic. This is the half that gets skipped and it is often where the answer is. Daylight through the deck. Staining on rafters that shows where water has been traveling. Damp or compressed insulation. And ventilation, because a hot attic bakes a roof from underneath and shortens its life more than most people realize.
Layer count. Two coverings is generally the limit. Knowing whether you have one or two decides whether a re-cover is even a legal option, and it takes two minutes at a rake edge.
What a report should contain
If you are paying for an inspection, it should leave you with something usable:
- Photographs of each issue, taken close enough to show the problem
- A distinction between what is urgent, what is preventative, and what can wait a budget cycle
- The cause, not just the symptom, because a stain under a valley is a debris problem rather than a shingle problem
- The remaining life you can reasonably expect, stated as a range
If a report is a single figure and a signature line, it is a sales document rather than an inspection.
When you actually need one
Before buying a house. The most valuable time. A roof is one of the few things that can turn into a five-figure surprise, and it is worth knowing before you exchange.
After a wind or hail event, even if nothing looks wrong from the ground. Lifted sealant strips do not show from a driveway.
Before a solar install. Putting panels on a roof that has five years left means paying to remove and reinstall them later.
Every few years past year fifteen, on an asphalt roof in this climate. Heat is what ends roofs here, not rain, and it does it gradually.
When an inspection is a waste of money
If the roof is visibly at the end of its life, with granules gone and cracking across the field, an inspection tells you what you already know. Spend it on the replacement quote instead.
If you have an active leak in the rain, that is an emergency call, not an inspection.
What roof work costs
| Roof type | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle | $7,500 to $12,000 |
| Metal | $12,000 to $18,000 |
| Tile | $15,000 to $25,000+ |
These are the ranges Stucco Contractor Pro publishes for a new roof. Estimates depend on size, pitch and materials, and financing is available. For diagnosis and repair we do not publish a figure, because a number set from the ground is a number that changes once we are on the roof. You get a written estimate after the inspection.

| Julia W. Walnut, CA | “Bryan, the boss of Stucco Contractor Pro, is young, energetic, hard-working and sincere. The first time when he visited our home and discussed everything about our re-roofing need, I was quite sure I would hire him to do the job, and finally I did after comparing with 3 other companies. I am very satisfied with the job they have done. Bryan is always there for you so you can ask any questions by emails, by texts or phones. All his crew members are polite and nice, too.” | Yelp |

Frequently asked questions
How long does a roof inspection take?
Usually under an hour on a typical single-story house, longer on a tile roof or a hillside property where access is slower. The attic portion is about fifteen minutes of that and it is the part worth insisting on.
Do you go on the roof or look from the ground?
On the roof. Sealant bonds, flashing and valleys cannot be assessed from below, and heat damage in particular is invisible from a driveway.
Can I use the report for an insurance claim?
That is what it is written for. Photographs of each issue, the cause identified, and a separation between storm damage and ordinary age, which is the distinction an adjuster works from.
How often should I have the roof checked?
Past about year fifteen on an asphalt roof in this climate, every few years is sensible. Also after any significant wind event and before a solar install.
What if you find nothing wrong?
Then you have a documented baseline and a realistic remaining life, which is worth having before you plan any other exterior work.
