ROOF INSPECTIONS
Free Roof Inspections
A roof inspection tells you the real condition of your roof before a small problem becomes an expensive one. Based in Caldwell, Real Home Solutions LLC offers free roof inspections across Nampa, the Treasure Valley, and eastern Oregon.
There is no cost and no obligation. You get an honest look and a written summary so you can decide what, if anything, needs to happen next. Call or text (208) 739-7656 to book one.
What we check
A good inspection covers more than the shingles. We look at the parts of the roof that most often lead to leaks and early wear.
- Shingle condition, wear, and missing pieces
- Flashing around chimneys, vents, and walls
- Valleys, drip edge, and penetrations
- Signs of leaks or water damage
- Ventilation and general roof age
When to get an inspection
Some inspections are routine, and some follow a specific event. Either is a good reason to book.
- After a hail or wind storm
- Before buying or selling a home
- When you see ceiling stains or gutter granules
- When the roof is getting older and you want a plan
What you get
You get a clear written summary of what we found. If we recommend a repair or a replacement, we explain why and back it with an estimate. If the roof is fine, we tell you that too.
- Is the roof inspection really free?
- Yes. Our roof inspections are free, with no cost and no obligation to hire us afterward. If the roof is in good shape, we will tell you so.
- How often should I have my roof inspected?
- A general guideline is once a year and after any major storm. Older roofs and roofs that have had past problems benefit from more frequent checks. Regular inspections catch small issues before they turn into leaks.
- What do you actually look at during an inspection?
- We check the shingles, flashing, valleys, vents, and drip edge, and we look for signs of leaks and water damage. We also note the roof's age and ventilation. The goal is to find weak points before they fail.
- Do you give me anything in writing?
- Yes. You receive a written summary of the roof's condition and any recommendations. If we suggest work, the summary is backed by an estimate so you can decide with full information.
- Should I get an inspection before buying a home?
- Yes, a roof inspection before you buy is worth it. The roof is one of the most expensive parts of a house to replace, and knowing its condition helps you plan or negotiate. We provide a written summary you can use.
- Should I inspect my roof after a hail or wind storm?
- Yes. Storm damage is not always visible from the ground, and hail can bruise shingles in ways that shorten their life. A prompt inspection documents the damage, which matters if you decide to file an insurance claim.
- Will you try to sell me a new roof I do not need?
- No. If the roof is sound, we say so. When a repair will solve the problem, we recommend the repair rather than a replacement. Honest recommendations are how we earn repeat work.
- How long does an inspection take?
- Most inspections take a short visit, often under an hour depending on the size and complexity of the roof. Steeper or larger roofs take longer. We will confirm timing when we schedule.
- Can an inspection help with an insurance claim?
- Yes. A documented inspection with notes and photos supports an insurance claim after storm or hail damage. Having that record before you call your insurer can make the process smoother.
- How do I schedule a free inspection?
- Call or text us at (208) 739-7656 to set a time. We serve Nampa, the Treasure Valley, and eastern Oregon. Spanish service is available.
