What to Expect During a Professional Roof Inspection

Step-by-Step Overview for Quad Cities Homeowners

Whether it’s after a storm, before selling your home, or part of your seasonal maintenance routine, a professional roof inspection is one of the smartest things a homeowner can do.

But what actually happens during a roofing inspection? At Twin Bridge Roofing and Construction, we take a detailed, step-by-step approach to give you full confidence in the condition of your roof.


🔍 The Exterior Inspection

We start with the outside of the home, evaluating:

  • Shingle condition (curling, missing, granule loss)

  • Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights

  • Roof valleys and low-slope areas

  • Fascia, soffits, and gutter systems

  • Signs of storm damage or wear

We also check for early signs of leaks, like water staining or sagging in certain sections of the roof.


🪟 Gutter and Drainage Check

Gutters play a critical role in roof health. During inspection, we check:

  • For clogs or standing water

  • Downspout alignment

  • Whether water is flowing away from your home

  • Signs of overflow that could damage siding or shingles


🧱 Attic and Interior Review (When Accessible)

A full inspection often includes access to your attic to look for:

  • Insulation condition and coverage

  • Water stains or mold on rafters

  • Proper ventilation and airflow

  • Any sunlight peeking through the decking

These signs help us detect hidden roof issues before they show up in your living space.


📝 Detailed Report and Recommendations

After your inspection, we’ll provide a complete summary of:

  • Areas of concern with pictures, so you can see what we see

  • Estimated remaining lifespan of the roof

  • Repair vs. replacement options

  • Preventative maintenance suggestions

There’s no pressure—we’ll simply help you understand the facts so you can make an informed decision.
