Roof Inspections in Philadelphia, PA
Free roof inspections with photos, an honest read on what needs work, and a written estimate when something does.
A roofer's inspection, with photos you can see
Discounted Roofing LLC inspects roofs for free across Philadelphia and nearby towns. Joe gets on the roof, photographs what he finds and walks you through it, then gives you a written estimate if anything needs work. If nothing does, he tells you that.
Homeowners call us after a leak or a storm, before buying or insuring a house, when a roof is getting older, and to keep flat roofs on a regular maintenance schedule. This is a roofer’s assessment of the roof’s condition and what it needs, not a whole-home inspection, an engineering report or a code certification.
- Free inspection and written estimate
- Photos of the problem before work and of the finished job
- Licensed and insured, in business for over a decade
- 5.0 rating on Google from more than 450 reviews
What we check
The roof surface
Shingles, rubber or modified bitumen membrane, and any coating: wear, cracks, blisters, missing pieces and granule loss.
Flashing
The joints at chimneys, parapet walls, skylights, vents and roof hatches, where most leaks start.
Seams, drains and gutters
Open seams on flat roofs, clogged drain boxes and gutters that are not carrying water away.
Ponding and soft spots
Low areas that hold water and spots where the roof deck gives underfoot.
The inside clues
Any ceiling stains or damp spots you point out, so we can trace them back to the roof.
When to schedule a roof inspection
After a storm: high wind and heavy rain loosen shingles and flashing in ways you cannot see from the street. Read about storm damage roof inspections.
Before buying or insuring a home: if nobody knows the roof’s age or materials, an inspection with photos answers that.
Before winter, and on a schedule for flat roofs: small cracks are cheaper to seal before freeze and thaw opens them up. Our seasonal roof maintenance checklist has more.
What you get from an inspection
Photos
Pictures of the problem areas, so you can see what we saw.
A plain-English explanation
What each issue is, how urgent it is, and what happens if you wait.
A written estimate
A clear price for any work, with options where there is more than one way to fix it.
No pressure
If the roof is fine, you hear that. If a repair will do, we will not push a new roof.
Roofer inspection or home inspector?
A home inspector looks at the whole house and often views the roof from the ground or a ladder. A roofer gets on the roof and can tell you what a repair will actually involve and cost. If your home inspection flagged the roof, we are happy to look at those notes and give you a second opinion. See also why regular roof inspections save Philadelphia homeowners.
What roof inspection customers say
“Joe came out to look at the roof and didn’t try to sell me anymore than what was needed.”
“He stopped by a couple days later, inspected and sent pictures of the roof.”
“He came out the next day to inspect the roof and took a bunch of pictures.”

Frequently asked questions
Is the roof inspection free?
Yes. We inspect the roof and give you a written estimate at no charge. Call (215) 431-2343 or request an inspection online.
How long does a roof inspection take?
Usually one short visit. Size, height and access to the roof make the difference, and we send the photos afterward.
What problems does a roof inspection usually find?
Active leaks, missing or badly worn shingles, flashing pulling away from walls or chimneys, soft spots in the deck, and flat roofs with widespread cracks or standing water are the most common.
Do roofers do roof inspections?
Yes. A roofer's inspection focuses on the roof itself and on what it would take to fix anything wrong, which is different from a general home inspection.
Can you document storm damage?
Yes. We photograph storm damage so you have a record to share with your insurance company, which makes its own assessment. See insurance claims.
