Roof Inspection in Georgia

What a proper inspection covers

• Surface — shingle condition, granule loss, hail bruising, nail pops, moss and algae (a GA humidity classic)
• Flashing and penetrations — chimneys, skylights, pipe boots, valley metal
• Drainage — gutters, downspouts, drip edge, ponding on low-slope sections
• Attic — ventilation, daylight showing through decking, moisture stains, mold
• Report — dated photos, remaining-life estimate, itemized recommendations

When to book one in Georgia

1. Every spring — after hail season, before hurricane season.
2. Within days of a hail or wind event — this is the report that anchors your insurance claim.
3. Before buying or selling — a specialist report survives negotiation better than a general inspector's note.
4. When the roof turns 10 — yearly from then on.

Free vs paid inspections

Free inspections are sales calls with a ladder — fine when you already suspect work is needed, and most companies in our directory offer them. Pay the $150–$400 when you need an unbiased document: insurance disputes, home purchases, warranty claims. The fee buys you a report that is not trying to become a job.
