Most roof problems don’t announce themselves with a leak — they start small and stay hidden until the damage spreads. Khabar Nonstop offers free, no-obligation roof inspections across Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Warren, MI, so you know the real condition of your roof before it becomes an emergency.
We’re licensed & insured, and every inspection includes a written report with photos, not just a verbal summary.
What We Check During a Roof Inspection
A full inspection covers shingle condition and granule loss, flashing around chimneys and vents, gutter and downspout condition, signs of moisture in the attic, and the overall structure of the roof deck. We check every slope, not just what’s visible from the ground.
When to Schedule a Roof Inspection
Four situations call for an inspection: after a storm with hail or high wind, before listing your home for sale, when your roof is approaching 15-20 years old, or if you notice a stain on a ceiling or ice buildup along the eaves in winter.
A pre-listing inspection in particular can save a home sale from stalling — buyers’ inspectors often flag roof condition, and having your own report ready ahead of time gives you leverage in negotiations instead of a surprise repair bill during closing.
What Happens After the Inspection
You get a clear written report explaining exactly what we found, with photos of anything that needs attention. If repairs are needed, we provide an itemized quote — there’s no pressure to book anything on the spot, and no obligation tied to the inspection itself.
If the roof checks out fine, we tell you that too. Not every inspection ends in a sales pitch; sometimes the honest answer is that your roof has years of life left.
Related Services
Depending on what we find, an inspection can lead to a straightforward roof repair, a storm damage assessment for insurance purposes, or in some cases a full roof replacement if the roof is at the end of its useful life.
Documented, Photo-Backed Reports
Every inspection ends with a written report and photos of anything noteworthy — not just a verbal “looks fine.” This documentation is useful even if no work is needed right away, since it gives you a dated record of roof condition for insurance purposes, home sale negotiations, or your own future reference.
Attic Inspection — The Part Homeowners Skip
Roof problems often show up in the attic before they show up on the ceiling. We check for daylight coming through the decking, damp or discolored insulation, and rusted nail tips — all early signs of a leak that hasn’t reached the living space yet.
Poor attic ventilation also shortens shingle life and contributes to ice dam formation in winter. Part of our inspection includes checking whether soffit and ridge vents are clear and functioning, since this is a common oversight on older Detroit-area homes.
Seasonal Timing for Roof Inspections
Spring and fall are ideal times for a routine check — spring to catch winter damage, fall to prepare for the next snow season. Post-storm inspections happen whenever severe weather hits, regardless of season.
