What the photo report contains
Every inspection ends with a photo report you keep. We show you what we found before we recommend anything.
The report covers the whole roof, not only the trouble spots. We photograph:
- Every slope
- Flashing at walls, chimneys and valleys
- Vents
- Pipe boots
- Ridge caps
- Any soft decking we find
Each photo is labeled, so you know which part of the roof you are looking at. On some roofs we use a drone to get the photos.
Good news and bad news, both in writing
The report shows the good and the bad. If a slope is in sound condition, the report says so and shows the photo.
If we recommend a repair or a replacement, the photo evidence is in the report. If we cannot show you photo evidence for a recommended item, that line comes off the quote.
The inspection is free, and the report is yours whether or not you hire us. You can share it with anyone, including another roofer.
