Schedule Roof Inspection – $150 Base Price

 
The key to a successful roofing project is first correctly diagnosing and assessing the current condition of your roof. In this process you will receive a site visit, analysis and consultation regarding the existing conditions of your roofing system, as well as a ‘Service Estimate’. While most contractors give clients only repair and replacement options, with the emphasis usually being on the latter, SRS offers a look at the situation in a holistic manner. This holistic view shows all parties the complete picture usually resulting in additional service options such as Mini and Full Restorations. If your roof is a good candidate for restoration work, then there is a very high likelihood that you will save costs and restorations are usually far more eco-friendly versus unnecessary replacement. If the roofing system is not a good candidate for restoration and must be replaced, then we make that clear for you and also offer a bid for the replacement project.
 
The Roof Inspection is a limited fee based service (depending on your location/complexity of your roof, usually between $250 and $400 for residential and between $300 and $600 for commercial buildings) and is 100% credited towards the production of your project should you choose one of our services within 30 days from the time the ‘Service Estimate’ is provided for you. The Roof Inspection is a required step for all Velux skylight projects and it includes basic Design Consultation.

Additional options with the Roof Inspection would be:
 
1) Request for a full written report of the inspection that includes analysis of the existing conditions, a diagram of the roof with basic specifications and digital photography identifying problems. A written ‘Roof Inspection Report’ usually costs on average an additional $100 for residential projects and to be determined for commercial projects.
2) Request for conducting water test(s). Sometimes, especially in the case with so called ‘flat roofs’, we will recommend conducting a water test to help with diagnostics. Water tests usually run an extra $100 to $150 depending on the access and complexity of your project.
