What a free inspection includes

Every free inspection covers a 30-to-50 point check of your whole roof. Brian's crew looks at shingles, flashing, valleys, gutters, and the attic when they can reach it. You get a written report with photos of each finding — yours to keep and share. There is no fee and no obligation to buy.

Buying or selling? Pre-purchase inspections

Buying or selling a home? A pre-purchase roof inspection tells you the roof's true condition before you sign. NuShake documents roof age, remaining life, and any defects in a clear written report. Buyers and agents use it to plan repairs or set a fair price. Ask for the real estate format when you schedule.

Why get a roof inspection?

Bay Area homeowners often discover roof problems through a ceiling stain — meaning water has already been in the structure for months. An annual inspection catches issues when they are small and cheap. Here are the situations that call for a NuShake inspection:

• Annual preventive check. Catch minor flashing, shingle, or sealant issues before they become leaks.
• After a storm or high winds. Bay Area storms can lift shingles, damage flashing, and deposit debris without leaving obvious interior signs.
• Before buying or selling a home. NuShake provides real estate certifications documenting roof condition and estimated remaining life.
• After a nearby wildfire. Ember intrusion and heat damage can compromise roof components without visible exterior signs.
• Roof is 15 or more years old. Asphalt shingles start showing age-related vulnerabilities after 15 years in the Bay Area's coastal climate.
• Planning a solar install. A roof inspection before solar panels go up protects your investment and avoids costly panel removal later.
• You suspect an active leak. Inspection pinpoints the entry point before any repair work begins.

What's included in a NuShake inspection

Brian's team conducts a 30-to-50 point inspection covering every component of the roofing system. Here is what NuShake checks on every inspection:

• Full shingle or tile surface assessment. Granule loss, cracking, curling, cupping, and missing sections identified and documented.
• Flashing inspection — all penetrations. Chimney, vent, skylight, and wall flashings checked for lift, corrosion, and sealant failure.
• Valley condition check. Open and closed valleys inspected for wear, debris accumulation, and water channeling issues.
• Ridge and hip condition. Ridge caps and hip shingles inspected for nailing, alignment, and seal integrity.
• Eave and drip edge assessment. Drip edge rust, damage, and improper installation noted.
• Gutter and downspout condition. Clogs, sag, improper drainage, and back-pitch noted.
• Ventilation review. Ridge vent, soffit vent, and attic fans checked for blockage and proper function.
• Drone or ladder access. Complex or steep pitches accessed by drone where safer — same detail level, no crew risk.
• Photo documentation. Every finding photographed with the inspection report. Images are yours to share.
• Written condition report. Delivered within 24 hours. Covers findings, severity ratings, and a written recommendation — repair, replace, or no action needed.

The attic is included when accessible. Brian's crew checks for moisture damage, mold indicators, insulation voids, and ventilation adequacy from the inside before completing the report.

Inspection process — 5 steps

1. Schedule online or by phone. Call (209) 253-0506 or use the contact form. Most Bay Area inspections are scheduled within two to four business days.
2. Crew arrival and exterior assessment. Brian's team walks the full exterior — roof, flashings, gutters, soffits, and fascia. Drone deployed for steep or complex pitches.
3. Attic check (when accessible). Interior moisture, ventilation, and insulation inspected from below the deck.
4. Verbal summary on site. The crew lead walks you through what they found before leaving. Questions answered on the spot.
5. Written report delivered. Full photo report with severity ratings and written recommendation emailed within 24 hours. Real estate format available on request.

Inspection cost — 100% free

Every NuShake inspection is free. There is no minimum job size, no inspection fee, and no obligation to purchase. The report is yours to keep and share with any other contractor. NuShake earns trust through honest assessments — not by leveraging the inspection visit into a pressure sale.

Real estate certifications are available as a document add-on. Contact us when scheduling if you need the real estate format for a home sale transaction.

Why NuShake for Bay Area roof inspections

• Brian's hands-on background. Five years of crew experience — tear-off, installation, and sales — before he took the license. Brian's crew finds things that desk-only inspectors miss.
• Five manufacturer certifications. GAF Master Elite, GAF Solar Certified, GAF Gold Elite, CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster, and Owens Corning Preferred. Each certification requires crew training that directly applies to inspection quality.
• Honest, no-pressure inspections. Brian's owner-operated approach means homeowners get honest answers and a written report — not a sales pitch.
• Written report — no verbal promises. Every finding and recommendation is in writing. You have a document, not a memory of what someone said at the door.
• No-pressure written recommendation. NuShake's report tells you exactly what we found and what we recommend. You decide. Many homeowners shop the report with three contractors — we encourage it.
• Solar-ready inspection. NuShake is GAF Solar Certified. If you are planning a solar install, Brian's crew can assess your roof's solar readiness and note any issues that should be fixed before panels go on.
• Espindola family backing. For the south Central Valley, see Econo Roofing. For Stanislaus County, see DeHart Roofing.

Frequently asked questions — roof inspection

Is the inspection really free — no strings attached?

Yes. The inspection is free with no purchase required. You receive a written report with photos. There is no obligation to proceed with any repair or replacement. The report is yours to keep and share with any other contractor or inspector.

Will you pressure me to buy after the inspection?

No. NuShake does not use pressure tactics. The inspection report includes findings and a recommendation — repair, replace, or no action needed. Brian's owner-operated approach is built on honest assessments. Many homeowners shop the report with multiple contractors. We encourage it.

How long does a roof inspection take?

Most residential inspections take 45 to 75 minutes depending on roof size, pitch, and access method. Drone inspections on steep pitches can be completed without a crew member walking the surface. You receive a verbal summary on site and a written report within 24 hours.

Can I use the inspection report for a real estate transaction?

Yes. NuShake provides real estate certifications for home sales. The written report documents roof condition, estimated remaining life, and material defects — standard documentation requested by buyers and their agents. Request the real estate format when scheduling.

Do you inspect flat roofs and tile roofs?

Yes. Brian's crew inspects all roof types — asphalt shingle, tile (clay and concrete), metal, flat (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen), and mixed systems. The checklist adapts to the roof type. Flat roof inspections include drainage and membrane reviews.

Can the inspection help with an insurance claim?

Yes. If the inspection reveals storm or hail damage, NuShake provides the photo documentation and written report your insurance adjuster needs. Brian's crew has experience with major California insurers and can attend the adjuster visit to answer technical questions on your behalf.
