What a DG Contracting Roof Inspection Covers
Our inspectors don't just glance at your roof from the driveway. We walk the roof when it's safe to do so, get into the attic when access allows, and document everything with photos so you can see exactly what we see.
- Shingles & surface: cracking, curling, granule loss, blistering, and missing or lifted shingles
- Flashing & penetrations: chimneys, vents, skylights, valleys, and pipe boots — the spots where leaks almost always start
- Gutters, soffit & fascia: rot, clogs, sagging, and drainage problems that back water up under the edge
- Attic & ventilation: signs of moisture, daylight, insulation issues, and airflow that drives ice dams and heat damage
- Decking & structure: soft spots, sagging, and water staining that signal trouble underneath
When we're done you get a clear, honest assessment — not a sales pitch for a roof you don't need.
Why Inspections Matter So Much in the Inland Northwest
Our climate is hard on roofs in ways that mild regions never deal with. Hot, dry summers bake shingles and accelerate granule loss. Then winter brings heavy snow load, hard freeze-thaw cycles, and ice dams that force meltwater backward under your shingles and into the attic.
Add the wind and hail storms that roll through Spokane and North Idaho, and small vulnerabilities get exposed fast. A loose piece of flashing or a worn pipe boot may survive a calm summer — but it won't survive January.
Regular inspection is how you stay ahead of all of it. We know exactly what local weather does to a roof, and we look for the early warning signs specific to this region.
When You Should Get Your Roof Inspected
There's no single right answer, but these are the moments that matter most:
- After any major storm — wind, hail, or a heavy snow event. Damage is often invisible from the ground.
- Spring and fall — before and after the harsh winter season, to catch and fix issues while the weather cooperates.
- Before buying or selling a home — a documented roof condition report protects everyone in the deal.
- When you see a warning sign — ceiling stains, granules in the gutters, missing shingles, or a sudden spike in your energy bill.
- Every few years for an aging roof — especially once it's past the 12-15 year mark.
Not sure where your roof stands? That's exactly what a free estimate and inspection are for.
Our Process — Simple and Straightforward
We've kept this easy on purpose. As a family-owned company since 2013, we treat every roof like it belongs to a neighbor — because most of them do.
- 1. Schedule: Call (509) 209-1894 or request a visit online. Inspections are free.
- 2. Inspect: We assess the roof, attic, flashing, and drainage and photograph our findings.
- 3. Report: You get a plain-English summary of what's fine, what to watch, and what needs attention.
- 4. Plan: If repairs or replacement make sense, we'll lay out your options and flexible financing — no obligation, no pressure.
If your roof is in good shape, we'll tell you that too. An honest "you're fine for now" is a result we're proud to give.
Why GAF Master Elite and Our 15-Year Warranty Matter
Fewer than 2-3% of roofing contractors in the country earn GAF Master Elite certification. It requires proven experience, proper licensing and insurance, and a track record of quality — which is why GAF lets us offer warranties most contractors can't.
That certification shapes our inspections too. We don't just spot problems; we evaluate your roof against the standards that keep manufacturer warranties valid. A botched repair or unqualified contractor can quietly void your coverage — we make sure that doesn't happen.
Every full roof replacement we do is backed by our 15-year workmanship warranty plus GAF Golden Pledge 30- and 50-year material warranties. See the details on our warranties page. We're licensed and insured in both Washington and Idaho.
Inspections for Homes and Commercial Buildings
We inspect residential roofs of every kind — asphalt, architectural, and metal — as well as flat and TPO commercial systems. Each gets evaluated against what that material and that building actually need.
For business owners, a documented inspection is a smart maintenance and budgeting tool. Catching a small flat-roof seam failure now is far cheaper than dealing with interior water damage and downtime later.
If an inspection turns up an active leak, we also offer roof repair and emergency service to get it handled fast.
