    We had our roof replaced last month by AHS and the process was great. Kevin Diaz came out and did a great job with the initial roof inspection and walk through of the process. Rama did a fantastic job with explaining the options and costs and getting everything setup and then keeping on top of everything. The crew was friendly and professional and did an excellent job with the install and the cleanup. Finally, Lukas Turner was great with the post install inspection and walkaround.

    Just completed the final process for a new roof constructed by AHS. I was thoroughly impressed with AHS’s personnel specifically Brock Doctson. He took us through the entire process from talking to the insurance company to physically coming to the house for payment when needed. He explained the entire process in great detail and was very attentive in following up and answering any questions. AHS should be very proud of his work ethic. Will recommend this company to anyone.

    We just got our roof repaired with Affordable Home Solutions and we love our new roof. Ross came to our house to look at our roof and immediately told us to get in contact with our insurance while he was there. Throughout the process he was always checking in about the status and was patient with us as well. We had a leak one night and I let him know, next day he was covering the roof with a tarp where the leak was coming from.

What happens

What a Free Roof Inspection Includes

Five steps, and three of them happen inside the house. That's the part worth knowing before you book.

  1. Book it

    Call, or send the form. We pick a time when you can be home, because you need to be there for the attic and for the walkthrough at the end.

  2. Inspect the roof

    Shingle condition, granule loss, flashing, valleys, vents, and pipe boots, slope by slope. Not a look from the driveway.

  3. Inspect the attic and ventilation

    From inside, on every job, even when nothing is leaking yet. Decking staining shows where water actually got in, and ventilation that's undersized for the roof can shorten its life and void the material warranty.

  4. Show you what we found

    A straight read: repair, replace, or leave it alone. If your roof has life left in it, that's what we'll tell you.

  5. Leave you the options in writing, the same day

    A full damage report and a written proposal before the day is out, with both packages priced. Photos, measurements, scope, and price. You keep it whether you hire us or not.

The five things we check on every roof

A roof rarely fails for one reason. Every inspection checks the same five failure points, on the roof, in the attic, and around the exterior, and most of the roofs we end up replacing fail on more than one. Most of what shortens a roof's life is invisible from the ground, which is the reason anybody goes up there.

  1. 01

    Old roof

    Algae, staining, granule loss, and the wear that comes with age rather than an event.

  2. 02

    Water intrusion

    Active leaks, mould, mildew, and staining on the underside of the deck.

  3. 03

    Storm damage

    Wind lifting and hail bruising, documented the way an adjuster documents it.

  4. 04

    Poor ventilation

    No air intake at the soffits, or not enough exhaust at the ridge to match it.

  5. 05

    Improper installation

    Nail pops, re-used flashing, missing starter, and defective material.

Ventilation is on that list because it is the failure homeowners are least likely to have heard about and the one most likely to be voiding a warranty right now. See how attic ventilation works, or what goes into a roof system for what replaces a roof that fails these checks.

What it costs

How Much Does a Free Roof Inspection Cost?

Nothing. No fee, no deposit, no callout charge, and no invoice if you decide to do nothing. You keep the written estimate either way.

If you do need work

You get a full report and both packages priced in writing the same day, before anyone asks you for a decision. Two financing structures are available, for strong and weaker credit alike. See roof financing options.

If the damage came from a storm

Get the roof inspected before you file, not after. Filing starts a claim on information you don't have yet, and a claim opened for what turns out to be wear can sit on your record without paying for anything. See storm damage repair and how we handle insurance claims.

Wondering what the roof itself runs? The roof replacement page covers what moves the number, and roof repair covers when a full replacement isn't the answer.

Questions

Free Inspection Questions, Answered

Is the free roof inspection actually free?

Yes. There's no fee, no deposit, and no charge if you decide to do nothing afterward. We inspect the roof and the attic, show you what we found, and leave you with written options. If your roof turns out to be fine, great, and it still costs you nothing.

What do you check during a roof inspection?

The roof surface and everything that penetrates it: shingle condition, granule loss, flashing, valleys, vents, pipe boots, and the seals around them. Then we go inside and inspect the attic and the ventilation. Most of what shortens a roof's life isn't visible from the driveway.

Why do you go in the attic if the problem is on the roof?

Because the attic shows you what a roof is really doing. Trapped heat and moisture cook shingles from underneath, which shortens the life of the roof and can void the manufacturer warranty on a new one. Staining on the decking also shows where water has actually been getting in, which is often nowhere near the stain on the ceiling. We inspect the attic and assess ventilation on every job, and we'll tell you if what's up there is undersized for the roof going on top of it.

Do I need to be home for the inspection?

Yes, for two parts of it. We need access to the attic, and the options presentation happens with you at your kitchen table. We can look at the roof itself without you, but the part of the inspection that's actually worth having is sitting down and walking you through what we found.

What do I get when the inspection is finished?

A full damage report and a written proposal the same day, with both packages priced, so you can see what you're choosing between instead of reacting to one number, and a walkthrough of what we found while we are still standing in your house. You keep it whether or not you hire us.

Will you tell me if I don't need a new roof?

Yes. If the damage is localized and the roof still has service life in it, repair is the right call and we'll say so. Replacement makes sense when the shingles are at the end of their life, when there's damage across multiple slopes, or when you've already patched the same roof more than once. Sell someone a roof they didn't need and you get one job and zero referrals.

My roof is not leaking. Is an inspection still worth it?

Usually, yes. The inspections that pay off most are the ones people don't think to book. After a hail or wind storm, because most storm damage is invisible from the ground and carriers have filing windows. Before you buy or sell. Before you put solar on a roof, because panels come off and go back on at your expense if the roof fails underneath them. A leak means the damage has already reached the inside of the house.

Can you inspect my roof for an insurance claim?

Yes, and it's worth doing before you file rather than after. We photograph every slope, measure the damage, and pull the weather data for the date of the storm, and that's the evidence your claim depends on. If the damage is storm-caused we'll tell you to file. If it's age or wear, we'll tell you that too, so you don't open a claim that gets denied and sits on your record for nothing. See how we handle roof insurance claims.

What if you find damage and I can't pay for the work right now?

That's what the financing is for. There are two payment structures and we work with both strong and weaker credit profiles. And knowing what's wrong is useful even if you fix it later.

Ready to Find Out Where You Stand?

We inspect the roof and the attic, walk you through what we found, and leave you the options in writing. If your roof is fine, we'll say so and go.
