Typical Inspection Time
A standard residential roof inspection usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on roof size, complexity, and access. Larger or more complex roofs, or ones needing a full attic check, can take longer.
What Gets Checked
A thorough inspection covers the roof surface (shingles, tiles, or membrane), flashing around penetrations and edges, gutters and drainage, and often a look at the attic for ventilation, insulation, and any signs of past leaks.
What You Get Afterward
A good inspection ends with a clear, honest explanation of what was found — not just a sales pitch. Photo documentation is standard for anything that could matter for an insurance claim.
When To Schedule One
Before hurricane season, after any major storm, before buying or selling a home, and at least once a year as routine maintenance are all good times for an inspection.

“Ricketts handled our roof repair after a bad storm and made the whole process easy — showed up when they said they would, explained what was actually wrong, and kept the property clean every day. Would recommend them to anyone in South Florida.”
