Free LA Roof Inspection — 25-Point Photo Report.
Homeowner, real-estate, and insurance inspections across every neighborhood in Los Angeles County. Written report in 24 hours.
The Los Angeles roof inspection that actually catches problems.
A Los Angeles roof lives a hard life — 280 days of UV a year, marine-layer moisture from Santa Monica to Malibu, Santa Ana winds ripping through Pasadena and the San Fernando Valley, and the occasional atmospheric river that finds every weak flashing in the city. Most roof failures are invisible from the ground until they leak.
Our LA inspectors are journeymen roofers, not general home inspectors. We walk the roof (safely), photograph every failure point, map any interior staining, and hand you a written report with prioritized repairs and firm pricing — never a sales pitch to replace a roof that has ten more years in it.
Every failure point common to LA roofs.
Delivered by email within 24 hours.
Firm pricing — no upsell, no pressure.
Whatever you need documented, we've inspected it in Los Angeles.

Common questions from LA homeowners.
How much does a roof inspection cost in Los Angeles?
For homeowners, our standard 25-point LA roof inspection is free. Real-estate transaction inspections (with signed written report for escrow) are $185. Insurance-claim documentation inspections start at $250 and are usually reimbursable through the claim.
How long does a roof inspection take?
Most Los Angeles single-family roof inspections take 45–75 minutes on-site. You'll receive a full photo report by email within 24 hours, including a prioritized repair list and firm pricing on any recommended work.
What does the 25-point roof inspection cover?
We inspect shingles or tile condition, underlayment exposure, flashing at walls and chimneys, valleys, ridge and hip caps, vent boots, skylights, gutters and downspouts, fascia and eaves, attic ventilation, interior ceiling stains, and drainage — every failure point common to LA roofs.
Do I need a roof inspection before buying a home in LA?
Strongly recommended. A standard home inspection only glances at the roof. Our specialist LA roof inspection catches deferred maintenance, hidden underlayment failure, and code issues that can cost $10,000+ after closing.
Can you inspect my roof for an insurance claim?
Yes — we produce carrier-ready reports for State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, Mercury, Liberty Mutual and every major LA insurer. We document storm, wind, hail, and fallen-tree damage in the exact format adjusters require.
How often should I have my LA roof inspected?
Every 2–3 years for roofs under 10 years old, annually after 10 years, and after any major Santa Ana wind event or atmospheric river. Coastal LA homes (Malibu, Santa Monica, Venice) benefit from annual inspections due to marine-air corrosion.
When Los Angeles homeowners should book an inspection
- Before the first atmospheric river of the rainy season (October–November)
- After any Santa Ana wind event above 40 mph
- Before buying or selling a home in LA County
- When your insurance carrier requests roof condition documentation
- Every 2–3 years as preventive maintenance on tile and flat roofs
- Immediately after a fallen branch, hail, or ember event
