Roof inspections aren't just for obvious leaks. If your roof is over 10 years old, you should have it inspected annually. If you're buying or selling a home in Oakland, a roof inspection is essential due diligence. If a storm hit your area, an inspection documents damage for insurance claims. Oakland Roofing & Maintenance handles all three.
We inspect the roof in three stages. First, we walk the entire surface — checking shingles for wear, flashing for gaps, and all penetrations for seal integrity. Second, we examine the perimeter — drip edge, eave condition, gutter attachment, fascia and soffit condition. Third, we go into the attic — checking ventilation, insulation, and looking for moisture, mold, or daylight showing through the roof deck.
Our Roof Inspection Process
Appointment Setup
Call (877) 586-1316 or book online. We schedule same-week roof inspections throughout Oakland. Tell us if it's routine maintenance, real estate, insurance, or storm-related — each type gets a tailored inspection protocol.
Exterior Roof Walk
Our inspector walks every section of the roof. Shingles checked for cracking, curling, buckling, missing tabs, and granule loss. All flashing inspected — chimney, pipe boots, vent boots, step flashing, counter-flashing, valleys. Ridge cap and ridge vents examined. Drip edge condition noted.
Below-Deck Assessment
We enter the attic to check from below. Soffit vent airflow verified. Ridge vent continuity checked. Insulation levels measured. Roof deck inspected for moisture stains, mold, daylight, or sagging between rafters. This catches problems the surface walk can't see.
Report & Recommendations
Your roof inspection report delivered within 48 hours. Prioritized findings, annotated photos, and repair recommendations. We walk you through the report by phone or in person if you prefer.
