This is the Vinings page for roof inspection. The short version: you want an honest read on the roof's condition before buying, selling, insuring, or filing a claim, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteRoofs here tend to go longer between inspections, so damage from two or three storms ago is often still sitting there when someone finally looks. This is the edge of the hail belt: storms are less frequent than up the I-35 corridor, but the ones that arrive are the same size. Original tile roofs from the '80s and '90s are reaching underlayment failure now, and that's a lift-and-reset or full replacement, not a tile repair.
What it costs in Vinings: many roofers inspect free in hopes of a job; a paid independent inspection removes that incentive and is worth it for real estate transactions or insurance disputes.
Georgia doesn't issue a roofing-specific license — most roofing falls under the state's Residential-Basic or General Contractor license once a job crosses the state's licensing threshold. We check that license, insurance, and standing with the state board before a roofer ever sees a lead.
How it works
For surface condition, yes, and it's safer on steep or tile roofs. It can't check nail pull-through or feel for soft decking, so it's a complement to a physical inspection, not a replacement, when the roof is questionable.
Every slope photographed, flashing and penetrations checked, attic viewed from below where accessible, and a written report with remaining-life estimate. A walk-around from the driveway is not an inspection.

Vinings is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
