A roof inspection is an important part of maintaining any home. Having the roof of your home inspected for damage, integrity, and remaining lifespan, helps you to determine whether or not you need roof repair or replacement. As one of the premier roofing contractors in Indiana, Big Boy’s Construction offers you the most thorough roof inspections in Indiana. When choosing a roofing company to inspect your home, you want to be able to trust them with what they tell you. While some companies may be tempted to tell you you need repairs or replacement when it’s not necessary, we desire to be honest and upfront with you during your inspection. We recommend getting an inspection after a storm or at the end of the season to ensure that your roof is prepared to protect the rest of your home from the elements. If you are wondering how much a roof inspection is going to cost, here is what you can expect to pay when we come to inspect your roof, and everything that we aim to check while we are there!
While many roofing companies may charge $100-$200 for a roof inspection, at Big Boy’s Construction, we’re proud to offer FREE roofing inspections. Read on to learn more about all that is included in our extremely detailed roof inspections.

We Look at the Condition of Your Tiles and Decking
The number one thing that we check (and the first thing people often ask us to check) is the condition of your roofing tiles, and we always make sure to check the decking. Starting with the decking, this might be one of the most important things we check because the decking is the base of your roof. It is the one thing that holds everything together and provides the foundation for your roofing. The integrity of your decking is vital for the health of your roof and, if it’s not holding strong, can result in leaks and soft spots in your roofing. Moving on to the roofing tiles, we make sure that you’re not missing any, that none of them are damaged, and that each tile is held firmly in place. Checking out these tiles is important for the protection of the rest of your roof and the rest of your home. The condition of your tiles can depend on recent weather, the quality of the original installation, and several other things. So, if you suspect tile or decking damage, reach out to us today! While these are two of the most important things we check, they are not the only things we check.
We Look at How Much Life Your Roof Has Left
Each roofing material has an average lifespan. While asphalt roofing tends to last about 20 years, metal roofing, while more expensive, can last 50+ years. At Big Boy’s Construction, our roofing inspections make sure to take into account your roof construction and material to determine the remaining lifespan of your roof. From normal deterioration to structural damage, we evaluate your entire roof to determine where your roof is in its lifetime. This part of the inspection takes into account the other things explained above, but also several other things. The deterioration of different tiles, the flashing, and roof penetrations or damage. Here in Indiana, we are often the recipients of intense thunderstorms and other weather conditions that can shorten the lifespan of a roof. This is one of the reasons that we make sure to protect all of our roofing installations with warranties. However, these weather patterns and the initial installation of your roof can determine if your roofing lasts for its full, predicted lifespan or if that lifespan is cut short. During our roof inspection, our professional inspectors can determine if your roof needs to be replaced or repaired by determining where it is in its lifespan. So if you have an older home and want help determining how much time your roof has left, call Big Boy’s Construction today to have a reliable, professional inspector take a look at the well-being of your roof.
Other Things We Look At
While the aspects above are the two main things we tend to look at, there are other things that we pay attention to as well. Some of these things — like the number of asphalt tile layers on your roof — help us to determine the extent of the damage to your roof, or the extent of the repairs or replacement that may be needed. Others help us to determine the condition of your home and allow us to let you know if your home is being maintained well. We look at the quality of your attic ventilation and the condition of your roof vents to make sure that your home is being properly ventilated and maintained. As mentioned above, we also take a look at your flashing to make sure that the metal along your roof isn’t rusting or deteriorating in any other way. All of these things not only help us to determine the well-being of your roof and, but also help us to quote you for repair and replacement pricing should either one of those be needed.

How Much Does All of This Cost?
After all of that, you may be asking how much this necessary inspection costs! On average, a roofing inspection will run you about 100 to 200 dollars. This is the average price that most roofing companies will charge for a basic inspection. However, at Big Boy’s Construction, we don’t charge you anything. That’s right! As the premier roofing company in Indiana, we desire for everyone to have access to our expert roofing opinions and 30+ years of experience. We want you to have confidence in your roof and be assured that it is in great condition, or if it is not; and, if it’s not, we can repair or replace any damage that we might find on your roof.

There are other signs like leaks, missing tiles, or an old roof that point towards the need for inspection as well.

If you are wondering why you would need a roof inspection, you probably do. It may seem like a trivial process, and one that might only need to take place in a situation where obvious damage has occurred, but it’s an important process for roofing that hasn’t been checked for a while or for older homes that tend to require more maintenance in addition to homes who have been damaged.
