Roof inspection
A visit that says what the roof is doing
An inspection is a walk of the roof, or of the parts that are safe to walk, and a plain description of what is visible. It is for an owner who wants notes before a storm, before a sale, or after a stain appears. Call (305) 701-4572 during open hours.

Request a call. Four steps. We call back between 8 AM and 8 PM from the Miami office.
What the notes cover
The notes name the material, the age if it is marked or if you know it, and the condition of the field, the ridges, the valleys, the penetrations, and the edge metal. On tile, they say whether the underlayment is visible at a broken piece and what that piece looks like. On a flat roof, they say whether water is ponding and whether the drains are open.
Flashings get their own lines. In Miami-Dade the wall flashing, the chimney or the parapet coping, and the boots on vent pipes are where calm-day roofs still leak. Near the coast the notes include rust on steel, because salt air takes fasteners before it takes clay.
Interior clues are part of the visit when you want them: a ceiling stain, a soft spot at an eave, granules in a gutter. The roof side and the room side are one story. The writing stays specific to this building.
An inspection is not a pass or fail stamp from the county, and it is not an insurance decision. It is a roofing company's description of what can be seen. You can hand those notes to a buyer, a board, or an adjuster. They still make their own call.
See the roof, then talk about it
Tile, flashing, and the edge at the wall are the pieces a house inspection writes down.
When people ask for a look
Before hurricane season, owners want to know if a ridge is open or a drain is packed with leaves. After a storm, they want to know what moved. Before listing a house, they want a description that matches the roof a buyer will stand under.
Condo boards ask for the same thing in different clothes: a roof they cannot see from the lobby, equipment curbs, and a history of patches. The visit can be described so a board can read it. Access still belongs to the building.
Call with the address and say what prompted the visit. A stain, a storm, a sale, or a calendar date are all enough. The office is open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM at 2341 NW 34th St, Miami, FL 33142.
How a visit works
Inspection uses the same five steps. Step three, the plain description, is the product. Repair or replacement comes only if you want that next.
A visit in those hours
A roofer looks at the slopes, the edges, the penetrations, and the drains from the places that are safe to walk.
A plain description
You hear what is visible: the material, the flashing, and any opening the rain is using. The notes stay in ordinary language.
Repair or a new roof
Repair stays in the conversation when the rest of the roof can remain. A new roof is the conversation when the deck, the underlayment, or the field of the roof is worn through.
Insurance stays with you
If you want a claim, you call your insurer. The visit describes the roof. The insurer decides the claim.
Questions about this work
Do you walk every roof?
The roofer walks where it is safe. Steep tile, fragile tile, and wet membranes are sometimes read from a ladder and from the ground. The notes say how the roof was seen.
Can I use the notes for a sale?
Yes. They describe the roof. A buyer, an inspector, or a lender may still want their own look.
Will you tell me if it needs to be replaced?
The notes say what is worn through and what can stay. The decision to replace is yours, made with that description.
