Roof Inspection and Written Reports in Beaumont
We get on the roof and into the attic, then hand you the findings in writing: what needs work now and what can wait.

Roof Inspection in Beaumont
A roof inspection on a residential or commercial roof is a paid visit, separate from a repair call, that ends in a written report.
It is booked as its own appointment. Nobody is there to sell you a job; the roofer is there to look at the whole roof, top side and underside, and put down what is there.
The report is what you are paying for. It documents the roof's condition, so you know what you have before you decide on anything, whether that is a repair, a sale or simply leaving it alone for now.
What the Inspection Report Covers
A useful report shows you the roof without you climbing it, and it sorts every finding by how soon it needs attention.
- Photos of each problem spot, taken while the roofer is standing at it.
- Moisture readings recorded with their locations, which give the next inspection a baseline to compare against.
- Urgent repairs, set apart at the top so they are not lost in the list.
- Maintenance items that routine upkeep takes care of.
- Items to monitor: sound today, worth a look at the next visit.
On the Roof, in the Attic, in Writing
A residential roof inspection takes about 60 to 90 minutes, and it covers the roof from above and from below.
Steep, tall and fragile roofs are not walked on: a drone documents a steep or tall roof, and fragile tile is read from the eaves with high-powered optics and from the attic side of the sheathing.
-
From the ground
The roofer starts by walking the house, reading the roofline, the gutters and the "fascia" for sags, gaps and stains.
-
On the roof
On a walkable roof the roofer checks the shingles, the "flashing" at walls and chimneys, each "pipe boot" and the "sealant bond" at the rakes and eaves.
-
In the attic
From the underside, the "roof deck" shows what the top hides: water stains, damp wood and daylight, which means an open water path.
-
In writing
The findings are written up with their pictures and handed over, yours to keep, show a buyer or send to an insurer.

How Roof Inspection Is Priced
A formal inspection is priced as its own service, while a free estimate scopes and prices specific work.
Roof inspection
A paid visit and a written report
$120 to $320
That is the typical range for a roof inspection in Beaumont, and the wider spread runs $75 to $700.
The roof itself moves the figure: its size, its pitch, the number of stories and how hard it is to get onto.

For a problem you already know about
We come out, look at the leak, the lifted shingles or the damaged flashing you called about, and put the price to fix it in writing.
We quote the whole job before we start, with no surprise charges after.
When to Book a Roof Inspection
Roofs are inspected every year, after severe weather, before a sale and before solar panels go on.
- A yearly look catches a split collar or a lifted shingle while it is still a small fix.
- After a hard storm, the roof is checked before the next rain finds whatever the wind opened.
- Buyers and insurers often ask for a documented inspection on an older roof, and lenders often want a "roof certification", a roofer's written statement of its remaining life.
- Have it done before solar goes up, because panels are hard to work around later.
Roofer Versus Home Inspector
A home inspector usually looks at the roof from the ground or a ladder and refers severe or complex defects to a roofer.
Home inspectors cover the whole house, and associations such as InterNACHI train and certify them for that. A roofer's inspection goes onto the roof and into the attic, which is why a homebuyer is better served by a separate roofer's inspection on top of the home inspection.

Chilo was super quick to respond and come by for a quote. I only needed minor repairs, but the work was done quickly (within the day) and for a fair price.

I am so happy I called IH roofing. My new roof looks great. I called 5 roofing companies and the bid from IH roofing was very competitive. $1000's less than the big companies. I told them my need was dire and they put me right into their calendar. They worked from 8am to dark and had my roof completed in under two days. The crew was courteous and they left my yard cleaner than they found it. I recommend I H roofing without any hesitation.
