Roof Inspections in Nicoma Park, With Photos and Straight Answers
We get on your roof, look at every slope, flashing and vent, then check the attic from below. You get photos of what we found and a plain answer: leave it alone, keep an eye on it, or fix it. The same person who inspects is the one you talk to after.
Why People Get Their Roof Inspected
An inspection shows you the condition of your roof right now. Most calls come after a major storm, ahead of buying or selling a home, or when a roof is aging and the owner wants to plan rather than guess.
Each inspection draws on 30+ years of roofing experience. That counts, because much of what goes wrong on a roof is hard to spot. Raised shingle tabs, a split pipe boot or nails working loose can't be seen from the ground, yet they let water in well before a ceiling stain appears.
Our crew is small. Whoever walks your roof goes over the photos with you and, if work is needed, comes back to do it. Nobody passes you along.
What the Inspection Covers
- 01
Shingle condition
We check for hail bruising, creased or missing shingles, lost granules and curled edges. We judge how much life the surface has left, not only whether it leaks now.
- 02
Flashing, boots and vents
Most leaks begin at chimney flashing, step flashing along walls, pipe boots and vent collars. We look at the seal and the metal on every one.
- 03
Soft decking
As we walk each slope, we feel for spots that give. Springy footing usually means the wood below the shingles has soaked up water.
- 04
Attic and airflow
Inside the attic, we check for light coming through, water marks, wet insulation and weak ventilation. Trapped heat wears shingles out from below.
- 05
Gutters and runoff
We make sure gutters are secure, pitched correctly and carrying water away from the house. Water spilling at the eaves can rot the fascia and decking.
- 06
Pictures and a short write-up
We photograph each issue we note. You get a brief summary grouped into fine, watch and fix.

Right after hail or high wind
Local spring storms can bruise shingles without tearing any loose. Getting a look shortly afterward helps if you decide to file a claim.
A roof 15 or more years old
Asphalt shingles wear down gradually. An inspection tells you how much life remains, so you can plan the cost instead of scrambling.
Water marks indoors or in the attic
Water runs along rafters before it drips, so a stain seldom sits under the actual hole. The source has to be tracked from the roof side.
Grit building up in gutters
A new roof sheds some granules, and that's normal. Heavy loss on an older roof means the shingles are wearing thin.
A home sale or purchase
A roof report lets buyer and seller see the roof's condition before they negotiate, not after.
How the Inspection Goes
- 1
You call and we set a time
Tell us what's going on and why you want the roof checked. We pick a day that works and let you know who's coming.
- 2
Outside walk and roof check
We set the ladder, walk every slope that is safe to walk, and photograph anything that needs attention. On steep or fragile roofs we work from the ladder and edges instead.
- 3
Attic look from below
If you have attic access, we go up and check the underside of the decking, the insulation and the vents. This part usually takes a few minutes.
- 4
We go over it with you
We sit down with you and the photos and explain what each one shows. If something needs repair, you get a written price for that work. If nothing does, we tell you that too.
What Changes the Price of an Inspection
Inspections are a set job, so pricing tends to be simple. A handful of things change how long the visit runs. Call and we'll talk through the cost before we come out.
- How big and steep the roof is
- Large or steep roofs take more time to walk safely and photograph completely.
- Valleys, skylights and chimneys
- Every one of these brings flashing and seams that need a close look, so a roof with lots of breaks takes longer than a plain one.
- Attic access
- A hatch in a closet or hallway with space for a ladder makes that step quick. Storage piled over the opening or a crawl-only attic takes more time.
- What the report is for
- Reports for a home sale or a storm, with more detailed photos, take longer to prepare than a routine check.
Questions About Roof Inspections
How long does an inspection take?
Expect about an hour on the roof and in the attic, plus a bit more to go over the photos together. Bigger homes and steeper roofs take longer. Tell us about your house when you call and we'll give you an idea.
Should I be there?
It helps, mainly so we can get into the attic. You can also look at the photos and ask questions right then. If you're away, we can check the outside and review the photos with you over the phone.
Are you going to push a new roof on me?
No. Most inspections turn up small repairs or nothing. If replacing makes sense, we show you why in photos and explain what a repair would get you instead. You make the call.
Can I use your report for an insurance claim?
You get dated photos of the storm damage with our notes on each spot. We'll explain how claims tend to go. Your adjuster, not us, decides what's covered. If we find damage, our storm damage repair page covers the next steps.
If you find something, who fixes it?
The same small crew that did the inspection. The people who walk your roof are the ones who come back to fix it.
Will you inspect roofs beyond Nicoma Park?
Yes. We also cover Midwest City, Choctaw, Harrah, Spencer and other towns nearby.
