Quick Answers
What's Included in a Free Roof Estimate?
A free roof estimate covers every major part of the roofing system, from the surface down to the attic, and ends with a written estimate you can keep:
- Shingle or tile condition — cracking, curling, granule loss, and overall wear
- Flashing — chimney, wall, and skylight flashing seals
- Valleys — debris buildup and water-channel wear
- Vents and pipe boots — sealed penetrations and vent condition
- Gutters and drainage — slope, attachment, and downspout flow
- Decking — soft spots, sag, and structural soundness
- Attic ventilation — airflow, heat buildup, and moisture signs
- Leak evidence — water stains, damp insulation, and interior ceiling marks
- Fascia and soffit — rot, gaps, and pest entry points
- An exact quote — a written flat-rate estimate, no obligation
How Long Does a Roof Inspection Take?
Most residential roof inspections typically take 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the roof, its pitch, and how easy the attic is to access. When we finish, you receive a firm written quote for any recommended work — nothing to sign, no obligation.

21-Point Roof Inspection
Our inspector checks shingles, flashing, valleys, gutters, vents, pipe boots, ridge caps, soffit, fascia, attic ventilation, and more. We use drone technology on steep or complex roofs for safe, complete coverage.
Photos of What We Find
We show you photos of every finding. Each item is graded by severity so you know what needs attention now versus what can wait.
Honest Recommendation
We tell you exactly what your roof needs: repair, maintenance, or replacement. If your roof is in good shape, we tell you that too. No upselling. No pressure. Just the facts.
What We Inspect
The 21-point checklist.
Our inspection covers every component of your roofing system, not just what is visible from the ground.
Roof Surface
Shingle condition, granule loss, cracking, curling, moss or algae growth, and overall wear pattern. We check every slope and ridge line.
Flashings & Penetrations
Chimney flashing, wall step flashing, skylight seals, vent pipe boots, and any other roof penetration. These are the most common leak sources and we check every one.
Gutters & Drainage
Gutter condition, slope, attachment, downspout flow, and debris accumulation. We check for overflow points and foundation drainage concerns.
Attic & Ventilation
Soffit vents, ridge vents, attic heat, water signs, insulation condition, and structural integrity of decking and rafters. Proper ventilation is key in Central Valley heat.
Based on your inspection results, we may suggest roof repair, ongoing maintenance, or a full roof replacement.

What "local" actually means for a roof inspection
Geography matters because a roof inspection isn't just a 20-minute walk-around. Our inspectors carry drones, moisture meters, and core-sample tools. The closer the office to your home, the faster we can return for follow-up if the inspection reveals something that needs deeper investigation. Inside our 5-mile rings (Delhi, Merced, Madera) we routinely do return visits at no extra charge.

Step 4: you receive a written flat-rate estimate for any recommended work. No obligation, no upsell pressure.

Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions
What does a free roof estimate actually include?
Our 21-point inspection covers: full roof surface (drone + walk-on where safe), all flashing (chimney, vent, valley, sidewall), gutters and downspouts, attic ventilation and water indicators, fascia and soffit condition, last repair quality, decking condition where visible. Then a written flat-rate estimate for any work it needs. Most take 45 to 90 minutes.
Is the estimate really free? What's the catch?
The estimate is genuinely free. No upsell pressure, no follow-up sales calls, no obligation. We do this because honest estimates are how we earn the work: homeowners shop around, and we win our share by being the most thorough and least pushy crew they meet. A roof inspection with a written condition report is $349, and the 2-year roof certification is included free if nothing needs to be repaired or replaced.
Should I get a roof inspection before buying a home?
Yes. A pre-buy inspection gives you negotiating leverage and prevents inheriting expensive problems. A residential roof inspection with a written report is $349. If nothing needs to be repaired or replaced, the 2-year roof certification is included free. Call (209) 668-6222 to book. If the roof needs work, our estimate for the repair or replacement is free.
How soon can you schedule my inspection?
We confirm every inspection request within one business day.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
You don't have to be, but most homeowners want to walk through what we found with us afterward. We can email the written estimate and schedule a 15-minute phone call to walk through it if in-person doesn't work.
What if you find a problem during the inspection?
You get the same honest assessment whether the answer is "your roof is fine, see you in 5 years" or "you have a 2-year window before this becomes major damage." If repair is needed, we provide a flat-rate written quote. If replacement is needed, we explain the warranty tiers and let you decide.
Will you find problems just to sell me work?
No. Our 99% GuildQuality satisfaction rating exists because we don't. The fastest way to lose this business is to invent problems. We show you a photo of every problem we find before we price anything.
How do I find a roof inspector near me?
Call (209) 668-6222 or fill out the form on this page. We dispatch from our Delhi headquarters, covering cities across the Central Valley. Most homes are within 30 miles of an inspector, and inspections are usually scheduled within 1 to 3 business days.
How fast can I get a roof estimate near me?
Active leaks and storm-damage emergencies get priority response. Standard non-urgent estimates are scheduled within 1 to 3 business days at no charge. If you have water coming through the ceiling, mention "active leak" when you call — we route those calls to the first available foreman.
