Roof Inspections

A roof is one of the most critical components of any home—and one of the most expensive to repair or replace. Proximity Home Inspection provides professional roof inspections to help homeowners, buyers, and sellers identify roofing concerns before they become costly problems.

Our certified inspectors evaluate visible roofing components, drainage systems, and related elements to help you understand the condition of your roof and plan with confidence.

A professional roof inspection is a visual evaluation of accessible roofing components designed to identify signs of damage, deterioration, improper installation, or water intrusion.

Unlike a full home inspection, a roof inspection focuses specifically on the roofing system and related components that protect the structure from the elements.

Homes throughout the Bay Area and Central Valley experience unique environmental conditions that can impact roofing systems, including seasonal rain, wind exposure, heat, and aging materials.

As a result, roofing issues can develop gradually and often go unnoticed until visible damage appears.

A roof inspection can help:

• Detect leaks before interior damage occurs

• Identify worn or failing materials

• Reduce unexpected repair costs

• Support real estate negotiations

• Improve long-term maintenance planning

Our inspections follow industry-recognized standards, including guidelines from InterNACHI®, to ensure consistency and reliability.

During the inspection, accessible roofing components are carefully evaluated and documented.

• Roofing materials (shingles, tiles, membranes)
• Flashing and roof penetrations
• Chimneys, skylights, and vents
• Gutters and drainage systems
• Visible structural elements
• Signs of moisture intrusion or previous repairs

All findings are documented in a clear, photo-rich inspection report delivered the same day.

A roof inspection is specialized, while a full home inspection evaluates all major accessible systems throughout the property.

You may benefit from a roof inspection if:

• The roof condition is a primary concern
• A recent storm or leak has occurred
• The roof is aging or nearing the end of its service life
• You want additional insight beyond a standard home inspection
