How to prep for a free roof inspection

The property address, a way onto the lot, and a heads-up about dogs, locked gates, or a seasonal owner who will not be there. That is enough. We bring the ladder and the camera.

If you know the HOA or the town will care about color (Chaparral Pines, The Rim Club, Bison Ranch, newer Thatcher subdivisions), say so. We handle the packets as part of a job; on the inspection we just need to know the rules exist.

If you are buying or selling, say that too. A photo report with remaining-life notes is often more useful at a closing table than a general inspector’s one-line roof item. Buyer and seller inspections are a regular part of the Thatcher-to-Show Low week.

A roofer, not a salesman, walks every slope, valley, and penetration; checks flashing at walls, chimneys, and skylights; looks at eaves and ventilation; and gets in the attic where we can, for staining, daylight, and wet insulation.

You get photos of all of it. If the roof has years left, we say so and leave. You owe us nothing. If it needs work, a written scope with a fixed line-item price follows within two business days. It does not expire tonight.

We get on the roof. Drones help on a section that is unsafe; flashing and fasteners still need hands and eyes. We do not quote from a satellite or from the driveway.

No. Many Rim Country and White Mountains customers are seasonal. With your permission we inspect, send photos the same day, and review by phone. Nothing gets scheduled without your go-ahead.

Valley inspections usually land within a few business days; Rim and mountain visits are routed together. Emergencies go to the front of the list. Call (928) 951-2331 or use the form. The office calls back within 1 business hour.

Photos the same day. A plain-English walkthrough on site or by phone. If work is needed: a written scope with materials, warranty language, exclusions, and a fixed price. Nobody calls you three times a day.

If the verdict is repair, see how we trace a leak instead of patching a stain. If it is replace, we show shingle and metal side by side. If it is storm-related, we document for the claim and meet your adjuster on the roof. We do not act as a public adjuster.
