Roof inspection in Virginia Beach, VA
An inspection tells you whether you are looking at maintenance, a repair, or a replacement, and it is often asked for before a sale or an insurance renewal on an older roof.
What gets checked
- Field condition: the shingles or metal panels themselves, for wear, cracking or missing pieces.
- Flashing: valleys, walls and every penetration (vents, skylights, chimneys).
- Deck and attic: signs of past or active leaks, and ventilation.
- Overall age and condition, documented for insurance or a sale.

When to get one
- Before hurricane season. The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, with most activity between mid-August and mid-October. A spring check gives a worn roof time to get fixed before the season's peak.
- Before you buy or sell. Buyers, sellers and insurers all look closely at roof age and condition.
- After a storm, even if nothing looks obviously wrong from the ground.
- When a roof is nearing or past its material's expected life.
