FAQ
Common Questions About Roof Inspections
Have questions about our inspection services? We’ve answered the most common queries from homeowners, buyers, and property managers below — or get in touch directly and we’ll respond the same business day.
Still have questions?
Our inspection team is available Monday–Friday, 8am–6pm. We're happy to discuss what type of inspection is right for your property before you book.
How long does a roof inspection take?
A standard residential roof inspection typically takes between 45 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the property. Larger commercial properties or inspections that include attic access, drone imaging, or thermal scanning may take longer. Our inspector will provide an estimated time when scheduling your appointment.
When will I receive my inspection report?
You’ll receive a verbal summary of findings on the day of the inspection. Your full written report — including photographic documentation, prioritised findings, and recommended actions — is delivered via email within 24–48 hours of the inspection. For urgent real estate transactions, we offer expedited same-day report delivery where available.
How often should I have my roof inspected?
We recommend a professional roof inspection at least once every 1–2 years for most residential properties, and annually for properties in areas prone to severe weather, for older roofing systems, or for rental properties where landlord obligations require documented maintenance. After any major weather event — hail, high winds, or heavy snow loading — a post-storm inspection is always advisable regardless of when your last routine inspection was.
Can a roof inspection report help with my insurance claim?
Yes — a professional inspection report is one of the most effective tools in supporting a roofing insurance claim. Our reports are prepared in formats accepted by major insurance carriers and include itemised damage findings, photographic evidence, and a scope of work that provides insurers with exactly what they need to process your claim accurately. Our team has extensive experience working alongside insurance adjusters on residential and commercial claims.
Do I need to be home during the inspection?
For exterior-only roof inspections, it is not necessary for you to be home, provided we have safe access to the property. However, if the inspection includes an attic assessment or interior evaluation, we do require access to the property’s interior. We recommend being available for the inspector’s verbal debrief at the end of the appointment, even if you cannot be present for the full inspection.
What is included in a Preventative Maintenance Plan?
Our Preventative Maintenance Plans include scheduled annual or semi-annual professional inspections, minor on-the-spot repairs during each visit (resealing, clearing debris, reseating lifted materials), a detailed written condition report after every visit, priority response scheduling for emergency repairs, and discounted rates on all additional repair work for plan members. Plans can be tailored for single residential properties, rental portfolios, or commercial buildings.
