Many homeowners wait until they spot a leak or damage before calling a roofer — but by then, repairs can be costly. That’s why regular roof inspections are so important. They help catch problems early and protect your biggest investment: your home.

At Optimum Roofing, we offer free roof inspections to give homeowners peace of mind and honest answers. If you’ve ever wondered what goes into a professional roof inspection, here’s exactly what you can expect.

🏠 1. Exterior Roof Inspection

We start by carefully examining the outside of your roof. This includes checking:

Shingles or Tiles: We look for missing, cracked, curled, or slipping materials.
Flashing: These are metal strips around chimneys, vents, and valleys. Damaged flashing can cause major leaks.
Gutters & Drainage: We check if water is draining properly or if there’s debris buildup.
Roof Penetrations: Vents, skylights, and pipes are inspected for seals and signs of wear.
Sagging or Uneven Areas: These could mean underlying structural issues or wood rot.

🔧 We also take note of the roof's age, condition, and the type of material — all of which help us recommend the right next steps.

🧱 2. Attic & Interior Check (If Accessible)

A thorough roof inspection doesn’t stop on the outside. If you have attic access, we’ll inspect:

Signs of Leaks: Water stains, mold, or mildew
Insulation: Wet or thin insulation can reduce energy efficiency
Ventilation: Poor airflow can cause heat buildup, shortening your roof’s lifespan
Structural Damage: Rotted wood or sagging beams can lead to expensive repairs if ignored

📋 3. Honest Report & Recommendations

After the inspection, we’ll give you a clear, honest assessment of what we found. Depending on your roof’s condition, we may recommend:

No action needed (your roof is in great shape!)
Minor repairs (like replacing a few shingles or sealing flashing)
A full roof replacement (only if necessary)

We also provide photos of any issues we find — so you see exactly what we’re seeing.
