We inspect roofs for three reasons: home sales, insurance claims, and peace of mind. Every inspection is drone-assisted and attic-entered where safe.
Inspection fees depend on roof size, access, and scope. Call (424) 624-7020 for a quote.
A condition grade (A–F) for each roof component: decking, underlayment, shingles or tiles, flashing, ventilation, gutters. Remaining life estimate. Photo evidence for every finding. A prioritized action list for the next 1, 3, and 5 years.
We inspect residential and light-commercial roofs throughout LA County: Santa Monica, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Mandeville Canyon, Topanga, Malibu, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Westwood, Century City, Culver City, Mar Vista, Venice, Marina del Rey, Hancock Park, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Pasadena, and the South Bay. Every inspection includes drone imagery, attic entry where safe, moisture readings, and thermal scans on request.
LA's microclimates change what matters per inspection. Coastal (Santa Monica, Venice, Palisades) — we weight salt-air flashing corrosion. Hillside / canyon (Mandeville, Topanga, Bel Air) — wind-uplift pattern and ember-intrusion points. Eastside / flat grade (Los Feliz, Silver Lake, East LA) — HVAC penetration detail, scupper flow, TPO seam integrity. Historic (Hancock Park, Pasadena) — original flashing that may be irreplaceable and deck substrate made of 1x6 tongue-and-groove.
Home purchase. The standard general home inspection rarely includes more than a ladder glance at the roof. For homes priced over $1.5M — the majority of Westside real estate — a dedicated roof inspection has become standard due-diligence practice. We coordinate with escrow timelines and deliver a buyer-ready PDF.
Home sale. Sellers who produce a current, clean inspection report close faster and negotiate fewer credits. Our pre-sale certificate is accepted by most major LA-area brokerages.
Insurance renewal or claim. LA's insurance market has tightened significantly. State Farm, Allstate, and several others now non-renew policies with roofs over 20 years old unless a certified inspection shows 5+ years of remaining life. We produce the report insurers expect.
Post-storm or post-fire documentation. After a windstorm, hail event, or Red Flag wildfire warning, an immediate inspection establishes the condition baseline for any future claim. Insurers will contest damage that wasn't documented within their correlation window.
Pre-solar. Every reputable LA solar installer requires a current roof inspection before panel install. Panels on an expired roof become a massive remove-and-reinstall expense — see our solar-timing guide.
90 minutes to 2 hours on site for a typical single-family home, then 24–48 hours to compile the report. We do not deliver rushed, cut-and-paste PDFs — every finding is tied to photo evidence.
Yes — light commercial (small office, retail, industrial under 20,000 sq ft) is routine. We have drones rated for commercial over-flight and handle Title 24 cool-roof compliance documentation. Larger commercial is case-by-case.
Our reports satisfy documentation requirements for State Farm, Mercury, Farmers, AAA, Travelers, USAA, Chubb, and most California FAIR Plan carriers. If your insurer wants a specific form, tell us and we will complete it.
It depends on roof size, complexity, and purpose (pre-sale vs. claim vs. annual). Inspections are free when we handle the resulting insurance claim, and free for active maintenance-plan customers. For everyone else, call (424) 624-7020 for a quote.
No — it's a complement. Drones see angles and elevation changes that a ladder-based walk misses, but nothing replaces a human in the attic checking for moisture and daylight. Every inspection we do includes both, weather and safety permitting.
