Our InterNACHI and ASHI certified inspectors assess the roof from the outside and from inside the attic, then report on its condition, remaining lifespan and the repairs it needs.
Or call (703) 450-6398.
Our inspectors assess the roof from the outside and from inside the attic. The exterior assessment covers every visible surface, connection point and drainage component, identifying wear, damage and installation issues that affect the roof's performance and its remaining lifespan. Accessing the attic gives the inspector a direct view of the roof's structural framework, its ventilation and any signs of moisture intrusion that are not visible from the exterior. Tap any area to see what is checked.
Building or buying new? A new construction inspection checks the roof alongside everything else that has just been built.
Most reports are delivered within 24 to 48 hours, with safety concerns and major defects listed first. We inspect roofs across Virginia, Maryland, Washington, DC, southern Pennsylvania, and West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle. Check your city, county, or ZIP code in our service area, or book online.
Three steps from the first call to the finished report, and no time limit on questions once you have it.
Call our office or book online, whichever you prefer. Give us the property address and a few details about the building, and we will confirm the appointment and assign your inspector.
Your assigned inspector works the exterior first, every visible surface, connection point and drainage component, then goes into the attic for the structural framework, the ventilation and any moisture that does not show from outside. Each finding is recorded as they go.
The written report is delivered 24 to 48 hours after the inspection, with photographs of what was found. If anything in it needs explaining, reach out. Questions about your report are welcome at any point afterward, whether that is the same week or years down the road. There is no cutoff.
A professional roof evaluation protects your home and your wallet. Here is why it matters.
Water needs to be directed away from the foundation. When drainage is compromised, the damage does not stay on the roof: it ends up in the foundation, where it is serious and costly to put right.
Worn flashing, loose shingles and deteriorating seals are cheap to fix and expensive to ignore. Catching them early is what keeps them from turning into major problems.
Knowing about a roof issue now is what stops you dealing with a bigger and more expensive version of it later. That is the whole economics of a roof inspection.
Yearly maintenance extends the life of a roof. An inspection is what tells you where the weak points are, including the ones only a trained roof inspector will spot.

What a NextDay Inspect roof inspection covers, who it is for and what you get back, in plain language.
Our inspectors assess the roof from the outside and from inside the attic. The exterior assessment covers every visible surface, connection point and drainage component, identifying wear, damage and installation issues that affect the roof's performance and its remaining lifespan. From inside the attic the inspector has a direct view of the structural framework, the ventilation and any signs of moisture intrusion that are not visible from the exterior. The six areas above list what is checked in each.
Both, where the attic is accessible. From inside, the inspector checks for adequate fasteners, proper installation of the roof sheathing, improper flashing around roof penetrations, deficiencies or alterations of rafters and truss members, and ventilation adequate to prevent moisture build up. Several of those cannot be judged from the outside at all, which is why the attic is part of the job rather than an add-on.
The reasons our customers give when they book: a general assessment of the roof's condition, a leak or water damage, storm damage, buying a home, the age and wear of the roof, and an insurance requirement. If yours is not on that list, tell the office what prompted it and the inspector will know what to look at first.
Yes. A NextDay Inspect residential home inspection includes the roof: coverings, flashing, vents, skylights and the chimney; gutters, downspouts, eaves and rake; and the roof structure from inside the attic where accessible. A roof inspection is the standalone service, for when the roof is the only thing you need looked at. If you are not sure which one fits your situation, call (703) 450-6398 and the office will tell you.
