Roof Inspections

A roof inspection from Jay's Roofing is free, and it comes with a straight answer. We are not going to tell you that you need a new roof when you do not — we have been in this valley for over 30 years and that is not how you last that long here.

When an inspection is worth doing

Before you buy a house

A general home inspector will note the roof's apparent condition. A roofer will tell you how many years it has left, whether previous repairs were done properly, and roughly what replacement will cost — which is information you can use during negotiation.

After a storm

Wind and hail damage is frequently invisible from the ground. Lifted shingles reseal themselves in the sun and look fine while the seal is broken underneath. We will get on the roof and document what is actually there.

When you see a stain, or you just want to know

A ceiling stain, granules in the gutters, daylight in the attic, or a roof you simply have not had eyes on in a decade. All good reasons.

What you get

  • A walk of the roof, not a glance from the driveway
  • Assessment of decking, flashings, valleys, penetrations, chimney details and ventilation
  • Photographs of anything we find
  • A plain recommendation: repair, monitor, or replace — and why
  • A written estimate for whatever we recommend

Serving Swannanoa, Black Mountain, Montreat, Ridgecrest, Asheville, Biltmore Forest, Fairview, Weaverville, Mars Hill and throughout Western North Carolina.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does a roof inspection cost?

    Nothing. Inspections and estimates are free, and they come with a straight answer - repair, monitor, or replace, and why.

  • Should I get a roof inspection before buying a house?

    Yes. A home inspector notes the apparent condition; a roofer tells you how many years the roof has left, whether past repairs were done properly, and what replacement will cost - information you can use in negotiation.

  • What do you look for after a storm?

    Lifted or creased shingles that reseal in the sun and hide the broken bond underneath, hail bruising, damaged flashing, and impact damage from limbs. Much of it is invisible from the ground, so we get on the roof and photograph what is actually there.

  • What do I get at the end?

    A walk of the roof - not a glance from the driveway - photographs of anything we find, a plain recommendation, and a written estimate for whatever we recommend.
