Most folks in Albuquerque don’t think about their roof until they see a water stain on the ceiling. But by then, you’re already dealing with a leak, and the damage has started. We do roof inspections all the time in neighborhoods like Sandia Heights and Taylor Ranch after our summer monsoons, and the story is often the same—a few cracked tiles or compromised flashing that went unnoticed for months. A professional inspection isn’t an expense; it’s the cheapest form of roof insurance you can get. It gives you the full picture and a plan, so you’re never blindsided by a sudden, costly repair.
Our climate is tough on roofs. The intense UV radiation breaks down materials, thermal expansion causes stress, and seasonal winds can lift edges. A visual glance from your yard won’t catch the early warning signs. Our comprehensive roof inspection is a systematic investigation designed to:
Identify Hidden Defects: Find small issues like cracked vent boots, nail pops, or granular loss before they lead to water intrusion.
Assess Storm & Hail Damage: Document evidence for potential insurance claims to help you get fair coverage.
Evaluate Overall System Health: Check not just the shingles, but the flashing, vents, gutters, and attic condition as an interconnected system.
Provide a Clear Action Plan: You receive a detailed report with honest recommendations—whether that’s simple maintenance, a roof repair, or a future roof replacement timeline.
At Just Roofing & Gutters, we take a detailed, step-by-step approach to every inspection:
We follow a consistent, thorough checklist so nothing is missed. Our inspection is a service in itself, not just a sales pitch.
Exterior Surface Examination: We walk the roof (where safe) or use binoculars to inspect every plane. We look for cracked, curled, or missing shingles/tiles, checking for storm damage and general wear.
Flashing & Penetration Seal Check: We meticulously examine the metal flashing around chimneys, plumbing vents, skylights, and walls. This is the most common source of leaks.
Gutter & Drainage Assessment: We check for proper gutter pitch, clogs, sagging, and leaks. We also inspect downspouts to ensure water is being diverted away from your foundation.
Attic & Interior Review (if accessible): We look for signs of water staining, mold, or rot on the underside of the roof deck. We also assess insulation levels and ventilation airflow.
Detailed Reporting & Consultation: You receive a plain-English report with photos, our findings, and a prioritized list of recommendations. We review it with you on-site, answering all your questions.
Routine Maintenance – An annual inspection helps prevent small issues from becoming major problems.
Interior Check – We look for water stains, dampness, or mold in attics and ceilings.
Once the inspection is complete, we provide you with a detailed report that outlines our findings and offers honest recommendations for repair, maintenance, or replacement if needed.
After Any Major Storm: High winds, hail, or heavy rain can cause damage you can’t see from the ground.
Before Buying or Selling a Home: Know exactly what you’re getting into or provide proof of condition to a buyer.
If Your Roof is Over 10 Years Old: Proactive checks can double the functional life of your roof with timely maintenance.
If You See Warning Signs: Stains inside, granules in gutters, or missing shingles are clear calls to action.
As Part of Annual Maintenance: The best way to manage your biggest exterior asset.
Damaged Flashing: The #1 cause of leaks. Requires immediate roof repair.
Clogged or Failing Gutters: Leads to water backup and wood rot. May necessitate gutter cleaning or gutter installation.
Poor Attic Ventilation: Causes heat/moisture buildup that cooks shingles from below. Solved with attic venting installation or repairs.
Storm-Related Damage: Hail hits, wind-lifted shingles, or cracked tiles from temperature swings.
Our basic roof inspection is free. It’s a no-obligation service to give homeowners and business owners clarity. More detailed inspections (e.g., for a real estate transaction with a full report) may have a nominal fee, which we disclose upfront.
A thorough inspection for an average-sized home typically takes 45-60 minutes. We believe in taking the time to do it right and explain our findings to you.
An adjuster works for the insurance company to assess a specific claim. We work for you to assess the overall health of your roof. Our goal is to give you the complete picture and honest advice on maintenance or repair, not to settle a claim.
We explain it clearly, show you photos, and discuss all your options. If it’s a minor issue, we might suggest a simple roof repair. If it’s storm damage, we can help with the insurance claim process. There is never any pressure—just information.
It’s helpful but not always necessary. We can perform the exterior inspection and, if access is arranged, the attic inspection. We then schedule a call or meeting to review our full report with you.
Absolutely. We perform detailed inspections on all roof types, including flat TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems for commercial roofing clients.
