The Value of a Thorough Roof Inspection
Replacing a roof that only really requires light patching or limited shingle replacement is a financial mistake – but so is pouring money into patching a roof that has deteriorated beyond repair. With our 20-Point Roof Inspection, you get an in-depth analysis of your roof’s condition (with digital photographs for visual confirmation), so you know exactly what the problem is, where it is, and what your repair choices are.
During the roof inspection, we will analyze your roof section by section and component by component, trace out for you just where roof leak repair is needed, identify any missing, damaged, or improperly installed components, and lay out a prioritized plan of action, starting with emergency roof repairs and ending with a long-term maintenance plan. Then, one of our expert technicians will walk you through our roof inspection findings, so you can decide just what is right for you and your budget.
Our 20 Point Roof Inspection includes checking for:
Correctly aligned shingle overhangs on all gutters and eves- Proper attic ventilation
- Blockages in attic intake vents

Choosing the Right Roof Inspection Company
Whether you are in the market for minor roof repairs, a whole new roof, or simply are not sure what you need, we strongly recommend having a complete roof inspection performed before committing to any repairs. Often times, customers come to us believing that they have no choice but to replace a roof completely only to discover, after the roof inspection, that the damage is much more limited than they thought.
Unlike some dishonest roofing contractors, we do not shy away from small jobs and we will not try to upsell you simply to make more money. As a local company, serving St. Charles and the surrounding areas, we do not believe in trying to sell you a product that you do not need. We want to create lasting relationships with our clients, and that means providing you with the best possible value.
So if you are searching for a roofing company in the St. Charles area that you can trust to be straightforward and honest about the condition of your roof, contact us today to schedule your roof inspection!
