Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a roof inspection take in Pittsburgh?
A typical single-family home inspection runs 60–90 minutes on-site. What’s more, larger homes, slate roofs, and multi-building properties can take 2–3 hours. In particular, the written report is emailed within 24 hours.
Do you inspect roofs during Pittsburgh winters?
Yes, safety permitting. In addition, we do not walk snow-covered or iced roofs; when needed we combine ground-level survey, drone imagery, and attic inspection to complete a report without walking the surface.
Can I use your report for an insurance claim?
Yes. As a result, storm-damage inspections are formatted for adjusters, with dated photos, damage categorized by peril (hail vs. wind vs. impact), and a plain-language summary. For example, bring the report to your carrier before your claim window closes.
Do you walk the roof or fly a drone?
Both, depending on pitch, material, and weather. In fact, steep-pitch slate, iced surfaces, and second-story metal are drone-first for safety; standard asphalt roofs on a dry day are walked so we can lift shingles and check flashing by hand.
If you find damage, do you also do the repair?
Repair is a separate quote you ask for — not automatic. Similarly, the inspection report is written the same way whether you hire us for repair, hire someone else, or do nothing. Because of this, that independence is the point. For an active leak specifically, see our roof leak repair page for how we trace and fix the entry point.

More Questions Homeowners Ask

How much does a roof inspection cost in Pittsburgh?
Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, material, and access. What’s more, slate, steep-pitch, and multi-building properties price higher than a standard 2,000–3,000 sq ft asphalt roof. In particular, send the address for a fixed quote the same business day.
Is a roof inspection needed before selling my home?
It is not legally required in Pennsylvania, but a documented pre-listing inspection often prevents last-minute buyer re-negotiation. In addition, sellers who bring a written report typically shorten closing timelines and avoid concessions on unverified “roof concerns.”
Do you inspect slate and tile roofs?
Yes. As a result, slate is common on older Squirrel Hill, Highland Park, and Shadyside homes. For example, slate inspections are drone-forward — walking slate cracks tiles — and we specifically document underlayment condition, hip and ridge slate, and any prior asphalt patches.
How quickly can you get to my property?
Most Pittsburgh addresses inside I-376 and I-279 are scheduled within 24–48 hours. In fact, nearby suburbs (Fox Chapel, Sewickley, Mt. Similarly, lebanon, Monroeville) are typically within 2–3 business days. Because of this, storm-season load can extend both.
