Professional roof inspection with drone assessment and documentation
Diagnostic Inspection Services

Know exactly what
your roof needs.

Guessing what's happening on your roof is expensive. Our master-certified inspectors use drone technology, thermal imaging, and 20 years of expertise to give you clear answers and a written action plan.

Why Inspection Matters

Your roof is failing silently before you see the signs.

Most homeowners only think about their roof when water comes through the ceiling. By that point, the damage has been building for months or years — in insulation, in decking, in structural members. What looks like a minor leak often conceals significant hidden deterioration.

A professional inspection every two to three years is the single most cost-effective roof maintenance decision you can make. Early detection of failing flashing, granule loss, or ventilation deficiencies costs a fraction of what deferred repair will eventually demand.

Book your inspection

Before you buy a home

Pre-purchase inspections reveal hidden conditions that can shift thousands in purchase price negotiations or prevent a costly mistake entirely.

After a storm

Hail and high-wind damage is often invisible from ground level. Drone-assisted inspection captures impact marks, lifted shingles, and compromised flashing before they become leaks.

For an insurance claim

Proper documentation of storm damage is critical to a successful insurance claim. Our reports are structured for adjuster review and include geo-tagged photographs.

Annual preventive care

An annual walkthrough catches granule loss, caulk deterioration, and minor flashing separation before they become structural problems.

Before your warranty expires

Most manufacturer warranties require documented evidence of proper maintenance. Our inspections satisfy that requirement and protect your coverage.

What We Evaluate

Every system. Every surface. Every layer.

Shingles & Surface Materials

Granule retention, tab cracking, curling, blistering, and algae/moss colonization. We assess material age against expected service life.

Flashing & Sealants

Step flashing, counter flashing, valley metal, drip edge, pipe boot seals, and skylight curbs — the most common failure points on any system.

Ventilation System

Ridge vents, soffit intake, power ventilators, and attic airflow adequacy. Improper ventilation cuts roof life by 30–40%.

Structural Integrity

Decking for soft spots and delamination. Rafters and trusses for moisture intrusion, sag, and compression damage.

Gutters & Drainage

Slope, seam integrity, downspout connections, and overflow conditions. Poor drainage accelerates fascia and foundation damage.

Interior Attic Assessment

Insulation condition, moisture staining, mold indicators, ventilation gap adequacy, and evidence of active or historical water infiltration.

Drone photography included

Every inspection includes aerial drone documentation of the full roof plane — capturing what ground-level inspection misses.

"We used Apex's inspection report to negotiate $18,000 off the purchase price of our home. The documentation was thorough enough that the seller's agent couldn't argue with a single item."
Jennifer and Mark R.
Roswell, GA · Pre-Purchase Inspection
"After the hail storm last April I wasn't sure if we had damage. Apex's drone inspection found 47 impact marks on the back slope that I never would have seen. The insurance claim paid for a full replacement."
William O.
Cumming, GA · Post-Storm Insurance Inspection
"I'd been getting 'looks fine from here' from my previous contractor for years. Apex's written report identified four specific issues including ventilation that was 40% blocked. Finally someone who actually looked."

Inspection Process

From booking to written report

01

Scheduling

We confirm your inspection within 24 hours of contact and typically schedule within 48–72 hours. You'll receive a confirmation with what to expect and how to prepare attic access.

02

Exterior Assessment

Our inspector evaluates all accessible roof planes, checking shingles, flashing, penetrations, gutters, fascia, and drainage. A drone survey captures the full roof plane in high resolution.

03

Interior Attic Inspection

We access the attic to assess insulation, ventilation, moisture staining, and structural members — the conditions most often missed by surface-only inspections.

04

On-Site Summary

The inspector walks you through their primary findings verbally at the conclusion of the visit, so you're never waiting 48 hours wondering what was found.

05

Written Report Delivery

A comprehensive written report with photographs, condition ratings, service life estimates, prioritized repair list, and maintenance recommendations is delivered within 24–48 hours.
