What Happens After the Inspection?

After the inspection, you get clear answers and honest recommendations. We will walk you through what we found and explain what it means for your home.

Depending on the condition of your roof, we may recommend:

  • No immediate action if your roof is in good condition (85% of all inspections we perform)
  • Minor repairs to address isolated issues
  • Storm damage restoration services
  • Preventative maintenance to extend roof life
  • Full roof replacement if widespread damage or wear is present

We believe in honest guidance. That means no pressure, no confusing language, and no recommendations that do not fit the actual condition of the roof.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a roof inspection cost?

Apex General Contracting offers free roof inspections so homeowners can better understand the condition of their roof without upfront cost.

What does a free roof inspection include?

Our inspection includes a detailed review of your roofing system, visible damage, flashing, shingles, drainage components, and other key areas. We also provide clear recommendations based on what we find.

How long does a roof inspection take?

The timing depends on the size and complexity of the roof, but most inspections can be completed efficiently within 30 minutes. Afterward, we explain our findings and next steps.

Should I get my roof inspected after a storm?

Yes. Hail, high winds, and heavy rain can cause damage that may not be visible from the ground. A post-storm roof inspection can help identify issues early.

Can a roof inspection help with an insurance claim?

Yes. If storm damage is found, a professional roof inspection can provide helpful documentation and a clearer understanding of the damage before or during the claim process.

How often should I have my roof inspected?

A roof should generally be inspected after major storms and periodically as it ages. Regular inspections can help prevent small problems from turning into expensive repairs.

Will you tell me if I have no damage or only need a repair?

Yes. If your roof only needs a repair or is in good condition, we will tell you. Our goal is to recommend the right solution based on the actual condition of your roof.
