The Attic Inspection, Optional or Critical?
Has your roofer offered you an attic inspection? Have they even mentioned it? 😬
Before you listen to any roofer—including me—make sure they’ve inspected your attic.
Any roofer proceeding with a full roof replacement without stepping into the attic is doing your home a huge disservice, and either showing you their inexperience, or their lack of concern for you the homeowner.
Without an attic inspection, they are essentially throwing onto your home a "one-size-fits-all" roof—a costly mistake down the road.
That's like buying a sports car for your family of 7 when they needed a minivan. Or using one haircut style for all genders. Congrats, you've just invented universal regret.
I'd recommend treating such roofers and their quotes, with extreme caution.
IS AN ATTIC INSPECTION MORE IMPORTANT THAN A ROOFTOP INSPECTION?
When homeowners compare roofers, most focus on shingles, upgrades, warranties, and price. What often gets overlooked is the single place that tells the full truth about a roof’s condition: the attic.
An attic inspection helps me (the roofer) detect early warning signs that directly affect the lifespan and health of your new roof, and reveals what the rooftop surface alone cannot—hidden moisture intrusion, improper ventilation, trapped heat, insulation issues, and structural framing conditions that directly affect how long a new roof system will last and whether it performs the way it should. It informs my installation strategy, and without a strategy, we're back to a "one-size-fits-all" mentality.
These attic conditions are easiest to identify before a roofing decision is made, not after a contract is signed. Once shingles are installed, correcting these issues becomes far more expensive.
Good roofing decisions are made with complete information. That’s why the estimate I just sent you comes with both a complimentary roof inspection and more importantly, an attic inspection—it allows me to give you accurate answers, not assumptions, and ensures that any recommendation is based on the full picture, not just what’s visible from the outside.
Skipping this step is like pumping sewage into your colon after you've had a colonoscopy... it negates your operation/investment.
If you’re serious about making a smart, long-term roofing decision, the first step is a proper attic inspection.
