## Price

Pricing varies by scope — no published range; free on-site assessment.

## What's included

- Full roof walk (or drone inspection on steep or fragile roofs) covering every plane and penetration
- Attic-side deck check where access allows, the most reliable way to catch hidden damage
- A written condition report — not just a verbal pass/fail
- An honest estimate of remaining service life given the roof's material, age, and this climate's wind/moisture exposure
- A cost estimate for any repair or replacement the inspection turns up
- Flagging whether the property sits in a Historic Overlay Zone, relevant if roof work becomes necessary

## Process

01. **Book the inspection** - Free for homeowners; a flat fee applies for pre-listing or pre-purchase inspections requiring a written report on a compressed timeline.
02. **Full roof and deck walk** - Every plane, valley, and penetration checked, plus the deck from the attic side where access allows. Drone inspection used on steep or fragile roofs instead of walking them.
03. **Written report** - A specific, written condition report — not a verbal pass/fail — covering remaining service life and any repair needs found.
04. **Honest next-step recommendation** - If work is needed, you get a real cost range for it. If the roof checks out, you get documentation of that, useful for a home sale or insurance renewal.

## When it's needed

- Preparing to sell or buy a home and need a roof condition report
- A roof approaching or past its manufacturer-rated service life
- Recent storm activity with no visible damage from the ground, but you want to be sure
- An insurance renewal requesting a roof-condition statement
- General uncertainty about how many years of service life a roof has left

## FAQ

**How much does a roof inspection cost in Everett?**

A general homeowner inspection is free. A pre-listing or pre-purchase inspection requiring a written report on a compressed timeline typically runs in line with the broader Snohomish County range — see our cost guide for specifics.

**Do you use drone inspections?**

Yes, for steep-pitch or fragile roofs where walking the surface risks damaging it or isn't safe.

**Can an inspection help before I file an insurance claim?**

Yes — an inspection documents whether damage looks storm-related (often covered) or wear-related (typically not), which matters before you file.
