Thorough Roof Inspector Experts
Roof issues occur over time, not all at once. But, too often, homeowners wait until they have roof damage to call for a roof inspection.
Many roofing problems can be caught before they do real damage. To make sure that your roof continues to protect you for years to come, it’s important to be proactive about having your roof inspected. At Russell Roofing Company, our roofing inspectors are standing by ready to conduct a full inspection of your roof.
What Does a Professional Roof Inspection Entail?
But, not all roofing issues are that obvious. With a professional roof inspection, you get a more thorough investigation of your roof and its structure. Our roof inspection services include:
If gutters or downspouts aren’t working properly, water runoff can seep down and create weaknesses in your foundation, and can lead to other issues like basement flooding. Our inspectors will check for even the smallest signs that your drainage system is broken, saving you serious money and headaches in the future.

At Russell Roofing Company, we don’t work like this. We offer roof inspections as a standalone service which allows us to be impartial, and give an honest and fair assessment of your property. When you work with us, you get:

Roofing Inspection FAQs
There’s no one answer for this. The truth is you should have your roof inspected as often as possible. Your home’s roof is an investment that you should protect. By routinely having your roof inspected, you’re proactively ensuring the longevity of your roof and your home. That said, you shouldn’t need to have your roof inspected more than once a year.
If you have a newer roof that’s under ten years old, you can probably do it as often as every two years. If you’ve just had your new roof installed, you’ll want to have it inspected within the first couple of years to ensure that the workmanship is up to par.
But, if you work with us at Russell Roofing Company, you won’t have to worry about this. We offer a full workmanship guarantee so you can feel good about your roof.
If you live somewhere with harsh weather conditions such as cold winters, or heavy storms, it’s a good idea to have your roof inspected in fall or right before or after the harshest weather season. You’ll want to make sure your roof is in good shape to hold up to the elements.
If you’re buying a new home, it’s a good idea to have the roof inspected before you close. Roofing projects can be costly, and you’ll want to avoid having to pay for a big repair or replacement on your new home.
A quality roof inspection requires an experienced inspector that will spend time with your roof. You can expect an inspection to cost a few hundred dollars around the Gaithersburg, MD area. Depending on the size and scope of your roof inspection, the price may vary a bit. Feel free to contact us for an estimate.
If you start searching for roof inspection services, you may come across the term “roof certification.” This is slightly different from a roof inspection in that it’s less focused on specific issues and more concerned with estimating the remaining lifespan of your roof.
If you’re planning long-term and wondering when you might need to replace your roof, getting a roof certification is a good idea. It’s also smart to include this with a roof inspection, as this will cover all your bases.
You may think you can inspect your own roof, but honestly, most homeowners don’t have the proper experience and roofing knowledge to properly inspect their home. A thorough inspection requires getting on the roof and doing a complete assessment of the inside and outside of your roof. This is a job better left to the professionals. You should, however, do routine inspections from the ground to check for any visible roof damage.
No, you don’t need to do any work to your roof prior to inspection. Our inspectors are experienced roofing professionals that will uncover any and all roofing issues. Once they’re completed, you will be all set for one to two years. The inspector may offer some guidance, but our team at Russell Roofing will differentiate between serious issues that need addressed and proactive steps you can take.
