Roof Inspections in
Rancho Cucamonga

What a Real Roof
Inspection Looks Like

A proper roof inspection isn't a five-minute walk-around. It's a methodical assessment of every component, shingles or tile, underlayment condition, flashing, boots, vents, decking, and drainage. We walk the roof, document what we find, and give you a straight answer about what's going on up there.

Inspections for repair or replacement estimates are always free. If you need a written report, for an insurance claim, storm damage documentation, or to submit to your insurance company independently, it is free when we do the repair or replacement, and a separate service when you only need the report.

Free Inspection, What We Check

• Overall shingle or tile condition, granule loss, cracking, curling, slippage
• Underlayment assessment where visible
• Flashing condition at chimneys, walls, and penetrations
• Pipe boots and vent collars, common leak sources
• Ridge cap condition
• Gutters and drainage
• Visible deck condition from above
• Any signs of active or prior water intrusion

Infrared Leak Surveys

When there is an active leak and the source is not obvious, we bring an infrared thermal imaging camera. It does not see water. It sees temperature, and wet material holds and releases heat differently than dry material, so a soaked area reads as a cold patch against a warm ceiling. That is how an infrared survey narrows a whole room down to one section of roof without anybody cutting into drywall to go looking.

The camera finds it. A person confirms it. Once the infrared scan shows us a cold spot, we go into the attic and check the same spot from below, looking for wet marks on the rafters and the deck. An infrared image on its own is a lead, not a diagnosis, and any roofer who shows you a thermal picture and starts writing a proposal without going up there is selling you a color photo.

We run infrared surveys on leak calls, on storm damage documentation, and on pre-purchase inspections where a buyer wants to know what is behind a fresh coat of ceiling paint. Here is the full walkthrough of how infrared thermal leak detection works, with real frames from Inland Empire calls.

Written Inspection Reports

If you have a storm damage claim, a dispute with your insurance company, or you just want documentation before buying or selling a home, we provide written inspection reports that include before and after photos, a detailed description of findings, and our professional assessment as a C39 licensed contractor. Reading a report someone else wrote, before a purchase or a sale? Our guide to how to read a roof inspection goes section by section.

You can hire us to prepare a report independently and submit it directly to your insurance company with your claim. That way your adjuster starts from dated photos and a licensed contractor's written description of the damage. What is covered is still decided by your policy and your insurance company. How that plays out on a real wind claim is in storm damage: document first, call second.
