The Visit

What Actually Happens On A Free Roof Inspection

Somebody comes to your house, gets on the roof, and looks at all of it. Not a drive-by, not a look through binoculars from the driveway, and not a drone photograph from two hundred feet.

We check the field of the roof, the valleys, the flashing at every wall and chimney, the pipe boots, the ridge and the gutters. We look in the attic if we can get to it, because the attic explains most premature roof failure. Then you get the photographs and a written summary — and, if you want one, a no-obligation roof estimate, itemized and fixed. What is in the report, line by line.

Deliverables

What You Get From The Roof Inspection

Photographs of every slope

Yours to keep, and yours to send to your insurer, another contractor or a buyer’s agent. Marked where there is damage, with a coin for scale on hail bruising.

A written report

What we found, what it means, and what — if anything — we would do about it and when. Dated, which matters if a storm hits the same roof next spring.

An honest verdict

Including “this roof has six years left, call us in five”, which is what a good share of our reports say.

A price, if you want one

Itemized and fixed. Not a range, not a “from” figure, and no pressure to sign anything that day.

The Objection

The Real Objection To A Free Roof Inspection: Is Someone Going To Pressure Me?

No, and here is why you can hold us to it. Wisconsin’s home improvement rules, ATCP 110.02, name the sales tactics a contractor may not use: telling you a roof is dangerous or defective when it is not, delivering materials or starting work to force a contract, claiming an agreement exists when it does not. A free hail damage inspection in Wisconsin should end with a report, not a signature.

Ours ends with a report. If the roof is fine, the report says so and we leave. If it is not, you get the photographs and a written price and we still leave, because a written estimate you can read tomorrow is worth more to us than a signature tonight — and because the reviews that keep a local business alive are written by people who were not pushed.

Straight Answers

Inspection Questions

None, anywhere in our service area — sixteen towns from Watertown out to Madison and Beaver Dam. No trip charge, no report fee, and no fee for meeting your insurance adjuster later. The commercial logic is simple: a report that says “nothing yet” is the reason you call us in five years when it says something.

We will tell you what we found. If what we found is a roof in good order, that is what the report says. We are a local business that depends on people calling us back in five years, which is a strong incentive not to oversell today — and the state’s rules on misrepresenting a roof as defective are a legal one. The FAQ covers how we decide between repair and replacement.

It helps, because we can show you the photographs and answer questions on the spot. It is not required: we need access to the outside of the house and, ideally, to the attic hatch, and the report and photographs arrive the same day by email if you are out. We will call to walk you through them if you would like.

Two to three business days for a routine inspection, most of the year. In the two weeks after a regional hail storm it stretches, because every roof in the county needs looking at in the same week — but water coming in tonight jumps the line, and we will say on the phone which of the two you are. Emergency tarping is the page for tonight.

Yes, and it is worth it. A general home inspection in Wisconsin assesses a roof from a ladder at one corner. Knowing whether you are inheriting a five-year problem before you close is worth a phone call, and the written report with photographs is a document your agent can use in the negotiation. Sellers ask for the same thing in reverse, to take the roof off the table.

The order matters: stop the water, document, then call your insurer, and get the inspection before you file so the claim is opened on what is actually up there. The first forty-eight hours sets it out step by step, and the about page explains why it is worth having a local contractor rather than the crew at the door do the looking.

What Your Neighbors Say

Reviews From Watertown-Area Homeowners

“Hail came through in June and I had no idea whether it was worth calling my insurance. They came out the next morning, walked the roof, and showed me photos of the bruising before I signed anything. The adjuster met them here and the claim went through without a fight.”

“Full tear-off on a house built in 1961, so there were surprises under the old shingles. They called me before doing anything extra and the final invoice matched the estimate. Yard was cleaner when they left than when they showed up.”

Sample Reviewer 2 Google Review · June 2026

“Wind took part of the ridge off and I had water coming into an upstairs bedroom. They tarped it the same evening and came back to do the repair properly the following week. Straight answers the whole way through.”
