Is the inspection really free?

Yes — completely free with no obligation. We inspect your entire roof system, document findings with photos, and deliver a written report. We do this whether or not you hire us. We've done it this way since 1996. As OC Platinum Preferred contractors, we register every inspection report. License #749551.

What do you look for during an inspection?

We check 14 things on every inspection: shingle condition, granule wear, flashing integrity, valley health, pipe boot seals, ridge caps, gutter attachment, fascia, soffits, attic ventilation, deck condition, underlayment exposure, drainage flow, and visible leaks. We deliver a written report with photos. License #749551, OC Platinum Preferred since 2008.

What does a free roof inspection include?

Our certified inspector walks the roof and checks all flashing, vents, valleys, and pipe boots. We also inspect the attic for moisture, ventilation, and structural issues. We deliver a written report with photos within 24 hours. Free, no obligation. Backed by 30+ years of Central Valley experience. License #749551, OC Platinum Preferred.

Does my homeowner's insurance cover roof repair?

Yes — for storm damage. Most homeowner's policies cover sudden damage from storms, wind, hail, and fallen trees. They don't cover wear and tear or old age. We document every claim with photos, measurements, and Xactimate-format estimates that match what your insurance company expects to see.

About This Service

Know Your Roof's True Condition in Merced.

⚡ 30 min from Delhi HQ🛡️ Flat-rate pricing📅 Since 1996

Reviewed by Mario, our founder, Founder & GAF Master Elite Installer · Updated April 28, 2026

What we find on Merced roofs. Most Merced homes we inspect fall into one of three buckets: brand-new (still under warranty), aging but fine (5–10 years left), or past-warranty without the owner knowing.

The early-stage failures we catch — granule loss patterns, underlayment shrinkage, sealant fatigue — are easy to fix now. Hard and expensive to fix in 2 years.

Want a written assessment? See full Merced replacement options if it's time, or Merced roof repair for spot fixes.

Tree damage and hidden wear. Merced homes near mature trees see more debris in valleys and gutters, branch wear on shingles, and shade-driven moss growth.

Our inspection focuses on these tree-proximity issues that homeowners can't see from the ground. We photograph every finding and include it in your written report.
