FREE ROOF INSPECTIONS

100% free. No obligation. No pressure. Just honest answers about your roof from licensed professionals.

A professional roof inspection is the first step to understanding the true condition of your roof — and whether storm damage may entitle you to a free replacement through your homeowner's insurance. Best Roofing Pros provides completely free, no-obligation roof inspections across the Midwest. Our licensed inspectors give you an honest assessment, not a sales pitch. With over 9,200 roofs inspected and replaced since 2005, we have the experience to identify damage that untrained eyes miss — and the integrity to tell you when your roof is in good shape.

What Our 21-Point Roof Inspection Covers

Our comprehensive roof inspection goes far beyond a quick visual scan. We examine 21 specific areas of your roofing system to build a complete picture of its condition. This includes the condition of your shingles — checking for missing, cracked, curling, or bruised material that indicates storm damage or normal wear. We inspect all flashings around chimneys, plumbing vents, skylights, and wall junctions, since these are the most common sources of roof leaks. Ridge caps, hip caps, and starter strips are evaluated for proper adhesion and wind resistance. We examine your gutters and downspouts for damage, proper attachment, and adequate drainage. Soffits, fascia, and drip edges are checked for rot, separation, or pest damage. Finally, we look for signs of improper ventilation, which can cause premature shingle aging and ice dam formation in winter months.

How a Free Inspection Can Save You Thousands

Many homeowners are unaware that storm damage to their roof — even damage that occurred months ago — may qualify for a full roof replacement covered by their homeowner's insurance. Hail bruises, wind-lifted shingles, and impact damage from debris are all covered perils under most standard policies. The challenge is that this damage is often invisible from the ground and requires a trained professional to identify. During our free inspection, we specifically look for insurance-qualifying damage and document it with the high-resolution photographs and detailed reports that adjusters require. If we find qualifying damage, we guide you through the entire insurance claim process at no additional cost. If your roof is in good condition with no actionable damage, we tell you honestly — and you walk away with a written report confirming your roof's health, which can be valuable for home sales, insurance renewals, and peace of mind.

When You Should Schedule a Roof Inspection

We recommend scheduling a professional roof inspection in several situations. After any significant storm event — including hail, high winds, heavy rain, or tornado warnings in your area — an inspection can catch damage before it leads to leaks and interior water damage. If your roof is more than 15 years old, annual inspections help you plan for eventual replacement and catch age-related deterioration early. Before buying or selling a home, a roof inspection provides valuable information about the property's condition and any upcoming maintenance needs. If you notice visible signs of roof problems — such as granules accumulating in your gutters, water stains on interior ceilings, or shingles visible from the ground that appear damaged — an immediate inspection is warranted. And if neighbors in your area are getting new roofs after a storm, your home likely sustained similar damage and should be inspected as well.

Our Commitment to Honest Inspections

At Best Roofing Pros, our reputation is built on honesty. We do not manufacture damage, exaggerate findings, or pressure homeowners into unnecessary repairs. Every inspection is conducted by a licensed, trained professional — not a commission-driven salesperson. If your roof is in good condition, we will tell you directly and provide a written report confirming our findings. This commitment to integrity is reflected in our 2,800+ five-star reviews and our standing as a GAF Certified certified contractor. We believe that honest inspections build long-term trust with homeowners and their communities, which is why we have been the Midwest's most trusted roofing inspection provider since 2005. Our inspectors carry proper identification, arrive on time, respect your property, and take the time to explain every finding in plain language before they leave.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Real feedback from homeowners who trusted Best Roofing Pros with their free roof inspections needs.

"I scheduled a free inspection just to check on our 15-year-old roof. The inspector spent 45 minutes up there, took dozens of photos, and gave us a detailed written report. No pressure to buy anything — just honest information about our roof's condition. Refreshing experience."

Brian & Julie A.

Naperville, IL — Free Roof Inspection

"We were buying a home and wanted an independent roof inspection before closing. Best Roofing Pros found damage the home inspector missed — cracked flashing and lifted shingles around the chimney. We negotiated $4,500 off the purchase price. Their free inspection saved us thousands."

Kevin M.

Omaha, NE — Free Roof Inspection

"After a neighbor got their roof replaced through insurance, I called for a free inspection to see if we had damage too. Turns out we did — hail damage we never noticed. They helped us file a claim and we got a brand new roof. All because of a free 30-minute inspection."
