What a Roof Inspection Covers

A roof inspection is not a casual look from the driveway. Our inspectors get on the roof. They check every component that protects your home from water entry. That includes shingles, flashings, ridge cap, pipe boots, gutters, fascia, soffit, and attic ventilation.

We also go into the attic when access allows. Interior signs of water intrusion often show up in the decking and insulation before they show up on your ceiling. Catching them early saves money.

Every inspection produces a written report. You get a clear picture of current condition. You see what needs attention now and what to watch over the next year or two.

When to Schedule a Roof Inspection

Most homeowners in Marion County wait until they see a problem to call a roofer. These situations call for a proactive inspection.

We offer free inspections in most situations. Not sure if you need an inspection? Call (352) 625-7663 and describe what you are seeing. We can usually tell you over the phone whether a visit makes sense.

What You Get After an Inspection

Every Thomas Roofing inspection produces a written report. We do not hand you a verbal summary and leave. You get a document you can use with your insurer, your real estate agent, or your own records.

• Condition rating for each roof component inspected
• Photographs of every area of concern
• Estimated remaining lifespan based on current condition
• Specific repair recommendations with priority level
• Notes on any attic conditions that affect roof performance

You keep the report. There is no pressure to book any repair or replacement during or after the inspection. If an inspection reveals work that needs financing, PACE is available. No payments for the first 12 months. Monthly options start at $100.
