The roof takes the worst of it on a Palmer home so quietly that you never notice. The summers bake it so the shingles dry, the spring hail and hard wind hammer it so the tabs lift, and the sun draws the oils out so it ages past its years. We run an inspection so you learn how it is really holding, a straight, close look caught before a small fault becomes a wet ceiling or a denied claim.
What we are actually looking for
We run a whole set of checks so one glance never passes for an inspection. We read the field so the aged shingle rows, the granule loss, the buckled tabs, and the hail marks turn up. We work every pipe boot, gable vent, skylight curb, and wall flashing so the cracked caulk and rotted decking behind most Palmer leaks come to light. We read the venting at the ridge line and the beams so a stifled roof does not cook itself unnoticed. And we climb into the attic so we catch a leak first, a damp ring, a soft joist, a bit of light, before the shingles.
Why the attic and the photos matter
Most Palmer inspections are a salesman glancing at your roof from the curb for five minutes. We do more so you get more. Our roofer walks the roof, drops into the attic when it earns it, and catches every fault in dated up-close shots so you see exactly what we found. Nothing rides on talk. And after a storm, we make sure you have dated shots so your claim holds, because that is what carries a claim, telling paid from shot down.
What you walk away with
A Palmer inspection ends with a straight answer, not a pitch, so you can act on it: a grade on the roof, an honest count of the years it has left, and a clear call to mend it, replace it, or let a solid roof stand. We price any fault in writing so you know the cost, and after a storm, we give an honest read on whether a claim is worth chasing. And we charge nothing and bind you to nothing, so all of it is yours whether you hire us or not.
