Quick answer

Free roof inspection Denver, in plain terms

Direct answer: Precision Exteriors Restoration offers free, no-pressure roof inspections across Denver and the Front Range, usually scheduled within the same week. A licensed Colorado contractor (License #0248041) documents your roof with photos, flags hail, wind, and age-related damage, and provides a written scope, useful whether you file an insurance claim or pay out of pocket. A typical inspection takes about 45 to 60 minutes.

This roof inspection Denver page is part of our roofing services. Start at the Denver roofing services hub or the Precision Exteriors home page , and when an inspection finds damage, move on to roof repair or roof replacement.

What we check

What a Professional Roof Inspection Actually Covers

Direct answer: A real inspection is a close-range examination of the whole roofing system, not a glance from the driveway. Here is what we evaluate and document on every visit.

Most roof damage in Denver is invisible from the ground. Hail fractures the fiberglass mat inside a shingle without immediately causing a leak. Wind lifts and reseats shingles in a way that looks normal from the street but has already broken the seal. A driveway inspection misses all of it. A proper inspection means a trained eye at close range on every roof plane, with photos of what is found.

Shingles and the mat beneath

We check for hail bruising, granule loss, mat fracture, cracking, curling, and blistering, plane by plane. In Denver, the damage that matters most is the bruising and mat fracture that shortens a roof's remaining life without producing an obvious leak.

Flashing and penetrations

Every point where two materials meet is a potential leak: pipe boots, chimney step flashing, valley metal, skylights, and wall transitions. Colorado's 150-plus annual freeze-thaw cycles stress these locations harder than most climates, so we inspect each one directly.

Ventilation and the attic side

Inadequate intake and exhaust ventilation shortens shingle life and drives ice-dam and moisture problems. Where access allows, we check ventilation balance and look for interior signs of past or active water intrusion.

Gutters, drip edge, and eaves

We check drainage, drip edge condition, and the eave detailing where ice and water shield protects against Denver's freeze-thaw. Excess granules in the gutters are an early signal of shingle wear.

Photo documentation of everything

You receive photos of what we find, good and bad, with a plain-language written assessment. You see your roof the way we see it, not just a verbal summary.

Storm and hail focus

Denver sits in Hail Alley. We look hardest for the functional hail damage and wind damage that ground-level checks miss entirely.

When to inspect

When You Should Get a Roof Inspection in Denver

Direct answer: Six moments when a close-range, documented inspection protects your home and your wallet: after a storm, before you buy or sell, once a year, when you spot the signs, when the roof is 15+ years old, and before a warranty ends.

After a hail or wind storm

Denver sits in Hail Alley. Get checked after any hail near 1 inch or a Chinook wind event, even when nothing looks wrong from the ground. Spot hail damage.

Before you buy or sell

Document the roof's true condition before closing, and avoid a surprise replacement decision after the sale.

Once a year

At 5,280 feet, higher UV ages roofs faster. An annual spring check catches problems while they are still small.

When you spot the signs

Granules in the gutters, a ceiling stain, daylight in the attic, or missing and curling shingles.

When the roof is 15+ years old

Standard shingles run about 18 to 22 years at altitude. Older roofs deserve a close look before they fail.

Before a warranty ends

Surface any covered issues while your manufacturer or workmanship warranty still applies.

What you get

What You Receive From Your Inspection

Direct answer: Accurate information about your roof, in writing, with no obligation to buy anything.

Everything included with your free inspection

  • An annotated photo report Clear, labeled photos of every finding on each roof plane, so you see exactly what we see instead of a verbal summary.
  • A written condition assessment A plain-language report on shingles, flashing, ventilation, and gutters, with the issues that actually matter clearly flagged.
  • A roof health summary An honest read on your roof's overall condition and estimated remaining life, so you can plan ahead instead of guess.
  • A clear recommendation Repair, replace, or nothing needed, with the reasoning explained. Roof repair or roof replacement.
  • Insurance-ready documentation If we find storm damage, your photos and findings are documented in a format that supports a claim and an adjuster meeting.
  • No-pressure next steps You decide what happens next. There is no obligation to buy anything and no high-pressure pitch, ever.
Insurance

Your Inspection and an Insurance Claim

Most Denver roof replacements follow a hail or wind event and involve an insurance claim, and it starts with documentation. When our inspection finds storm damage, we capture it in a way that supports the claim from day one.

Documented findings

Photos, measurements, and a clear description of functional damage, not just what is visible from the eave, so the full scope is on the record.

Xactimate estimates

We prepare repair estimates in Xactimate, the industry-standard platform carriers use, which allows direct line-item comparison against the adjuster's scope.

On-site adjuster meetings

For any client who requests it, we walk the roof with the adjuster, present our documentation, and make sure the full scope of damage is evaluated.

A note on deductibles

Deductible waiving is illegal under Colorado law. Any contractor who offers to waive your deductible creates legal exposure for you and for them. Precision Exteriors will never make that offer.

Reviewed by Precision Exteriors , a licensed Colorado contractor (License #0248041). Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and CertainTeed Master Applicator, serving Denver since 2016. Last updated June 2026.
Is a free roof inspection really free and no obligation?
Yes. We inspect your roof at close range, photograph all findings, and give you a written assessment at no cost. If your roof is in good condition and needs nothing, we tell you that, and we regularly do. There is no obligation to proceed with any service. The inspection exists to give you accurate information about your roof, not to manufacture a sale.
How long does a roof inspection take?
A typical residential roof inspection takes about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size, pitch, and complexity of the roof. Larger or steeper roofs, or roofs with significant flashing and penetration detail, take longer. We do not rush it, because the damage that matters in Denver is often the kind that is easy to miss.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
Not necessarily for the roof itself, since most of the work happens on the exterior. We do recommend being available afterward, in person or by phone, so we can walk you through the photos and findings. If attic access is part of the inspection, we will need to be let inside.
Will you actually get on the roof?
Yes. A real inspection means a trained inspector at close range on the roof planes, not a look from the driveway or a drone pass alone. Hail bruising, mat fracture, and broken seals are usually invisible from the ground, which is exactly why a close-range inspection is the only way to find them reliably.
How often should I have my roof inspected in Denver?
At least once a year, ideally in spring as hail season begins, plus after any significant hail or high-wind event. Denver's position in Hail Alley and its high-altitude UV exposure age roofs faster than most climates, so an annual close-range check catches developing problems while they are still small. Learn more: Spotting Hail Damage on a CO Roof.
What happens if you find damage?
We show you the photos, explain what they mean, and lay out your options, repair, replacement, or monitoring, with the reasoning in plain language. If the damage is storm-related, we document it in a format that supports an insurance claim. You decide how to proceed; there is no pressure to commit on the spot. Roof repair or roof replacement.
Do you help with insurance claims after a storm inspection?
Yes. When we find storm damage, we prepare Xactimate-format estimates, attend the adjuster's inspection for any client who requests it, and document the full scope of functional damage. We do not guarantee claim outcomes, coverage decisions belong to you and your insurer, but we make sure what the storm actually did is accurately documented. Learn more: Insurance Claims Guidance.
Can you do a pre-purchase or pre-sale roof inspection?
Yes. A documented inspection before buying or selling gives both sides accurate information about one of the home's most expensive components and helps avoid a surprise replacement decision after closing. You receive the same photo report and written assessment as any other inspection.
Do you charge if you do not find any damage?
No. The inspection is free whether we find damage or not. If your roof is sound and needs nothing, we tell you that and there is no charge. We would rather earn your trust now and your business when you actually need a roof than sell you work you do not need.
Why choose a local Denver contractor for my roof inspection?
A local Denver roofing contractor carries Colorado License #0248041, knows local building code, and understands the specific hail and wind damage patterns Front Range storms produce, and will still be here for follow-up when the next storm hits. Out-of-state companies that appear after major storms are often unlicensed in Colorado and gone once they move to the next market. Verifying any contractor's Colorado license takes two minutes at dora.colorado.gov.
