Great experience! The roofer came just once to both assess and repair, which made scheduling easy for us. He found the leaky spot quickly, sent photos so we could see the issue, and finished the repair fast and clean. Very easy to work with and reliable!
UNDERSTANDING YOUR ROOF
What a roof inspection covers
A roof inspection here is a full check of your shingles, flashing, vents and gutters, with photos of everything we find. You see the condition of your roof, what needs attention now and what can wait, and any repair comes with a written estimate before work starts.
We show you the damage with photos, so you see the same thing we see on the roof.
The city's building code requires ice barrier underlayment on homes, so we check the roof edge where ice builds up.
If the damage came from a storm, we tell you what to document for your insurer.
Our office is at 511 Spruce St, Manchester, NH 03103.

OUR PROCESS
How your roof inspection works
Follow the inspection from checking visible roof conditions to photos, documented findings and informed next steps.
-
01
Roof Condition Assessment
Examine accessible roof surfaces and key areas such as shingles, flashing, vents and roof edges for visible wear, deterioration or signs of water intrusion. Weather and safe access determine which areas can be inspected.
-
02
Photos and Documentation
Document visible conditions with photographs of the areas examined. These images help identify the location of an issue and distinguish what was observed from any recommendation for additional work.
-
03
Findings and Recommendations
Review the inspection findings, explain which conditions may require attention and why, and outline possible next steps. When repairs are recommended, discuss the proposed work and provide a written estimate.
-
04
Your Next Steps
Consider the documented findings before authorizing work. Choose whether to proceed with repairs, request additional information or monitor a condition, based on what the inspection revealed about the roof.
