At Compass, a roof inspection is free, no charge and no obligation. We get on the roof, check the shingles, flashing, valleys, and penetrations, document what we find with photos, and give you an honest read: whether your roof is fine, needs a repair, or is near the end of its life. Free inspections are standard among roofing contractors around here, so price isn't really the question. The question is who ends up on your roof, and whether they know what they're looking at.
Before you book
Nobody wants to invite a roofer over and end up hosting a sales pitch. So here is the whole deal, up front:
The part nobody thinks to ask
A free inspection is worth exactly what the person doing it knows. Most companies won't tell you who they're sending, and after a big storm the person at your door is often a canvasser working a route rather than a roofer. They might have been on a dozen roofs. They might be working from a script. You have no way to know, and the assessment you get is only as good as their eye.
We don't send salespeople to look at roofs. Whoever comes out has actually worked on them, and more often than not that's Cameron, the owner. Before starting Compass he spent years selling and managing roofing and exterior projects for a Northern Utah general contractor: running crews, walking roofs, and sitting at kitchen tables with homeowners. That's the difference between someone who can tell hail bruising from a branch scuff and someone who photographs both and calls it damage.
That standard doesn't loosen as we grow. The owner stays accountable for what you're told up there, and you won't be handed off to someone who was never on your roof. More about Cameron →
When to get one
Get ahead of Utah's wind, hail, and heavy snow. Catching a weak spot now is far cheaper than finding it during a January storm.
Wind and hail damage often isn't visible from the ground. We'll check and tell you honestly whether it's worth a claim. Wind & hail help →
Past about 15 years, it's smart to know where you stand, before a small problem quietly turns into a leak.
Stains on the ceiling, drips, or daylight in the attic. We'll track down the real source and tell you what it takes to fix.
A real look, not a ladder peek
And when we find something, like the hail bruise being pointed out in this photo, you get the picture, the plain-English explanation, and an honest answer on what it means for your roof.
How it works
Call, text, or book online, and we'll set a time that works for you.
We take our time up there and work through the whole roof, top to bottom.
Before we leave, we sit down and go through what we found in plain English.
If it needs work, you get a written price. If it's fine, we'll tell you that too. No pressure.
Free roof inspections are standard in this business, and the honest reason is simple: it's how a roofer earns a shot at the work. We'd rather get on your roof, show you exactly what's going on, and let a straight answer win the job than charge you to find out. Some roofs need work, plenty don't. Either way you get the facts, with no obligation. The visit costs us a little time. It costs you nothing.
Some companies use a "free inspection" to hard-sell a replacement you don't need. Not us. If a repair will do the job, that's exactly what we'll tell you. If it truly needs replacing, we'll show you the photos that prove it.
