Roof Inspections in Lexington KY | Free HAAG-Certified

Protect Your Home with a Certified  Professional Roof Inspection

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense. Over time, weather, aging materials, and hidden problem areas can compromise performance—often long before you see a leak inside. Big League Roofers provides FREE, professional, HAAG-Certified roof inspections to help you catch issues early and avoid costly repairs later.

What makes our roof inspections different?

  • HAAG-Certified expertise for accurate damage identification and storm assessment
  • Multi-point inspection that covers the entire roof system—not just shingles
  • Clear next steps and straightforward recommendations
  • Insurance claim guidance when damage appears storm-related

What We Look For During a Roof Inspection

Our HAAG-Certified multi-point inspection checks the most common (and most expensive) failure points in residential roofing. We evaluate for:

  • Storm damage (wind, hail, and severe weather impacts)
  • Missing, broken, or curling shingles (aging, wind lift, installation issues)
  • Leaks & water damage (risk of mold, rot, and structural issues)
  • Granule loss on shingles (reduced lifespan and UV exposure)
  • Flashing issues at chimneys, vents, skylights (a top leak source)
  • Sagging or structural weakness (decking/structure concerns)
  • Gutter and drainage problems (water backup, edge deterioration)
  • Moss & algae growth (trapped moisture and shingle wear)
  • Improper installation (early failure risks “down the road”)

You’ll receive: a clear summary of your roof’s condition, what’s urgent vs. what can wait, and what your options are.

When Should You Schedule a Roof Inspection?

We recommend booking a roof inspection:

  • Twice per year (spring and fall) to catch issues early
  • After major storms (hail, wind, heavy rain)
  • If you notice missing shingles, ceiling stains, granules in gutters, or sudden leaks
  • Before buying or selling a home
  • If your roof is 10+ years old or you’re unsure of its condition

If we find damage, you’re not on your own. We’ll walk you through next steps, and if it appears storm-related, our inspector can connect you with our insurance claims team to help you file your claim and work with your insurance provider toward appropriate coverage for repairs or replacement.

FAQs About Roof Inspections

How often should I have my roof inspected?

Most homeowners should schedule a professional roof inspection twice a year—typically in spring and fall—plus after major storms. Routine inspections help you catch small issues (like lifted shingles or minor flashing gaps) before they cause leaks, mold, wood rot, or expensive structural repairs.

Yes—our roof inspections are FREE and performed by a HAAG-Certified Roof Inspector, so you get a credible, professional assessment of your roof’s condition and any storm-related damage.

HAAG certification indicates advanced training in identifying roof damage—especially storm-related damage like hail impacts or wind-related shingle failures. It matters because accurate diagnosis determines the right repair plan and helps ensure documentation is consistent and defensible when insurance claims are involved.

Our multi-point roof inspection looks for key failure areas including storm damage, missing/curling shingles, leaks/water intrusion, granule loss, flashing issues, sagging/structural weakness, gutter/drainage problems, moss/algae growth, and signs of improper installation.

No. You do not need to be home, but you’re welcome to be present if you’d like to see findings in real time and ask questions.

Most inspections take less than a few hours, depending on roof size, pitch, access, and the number of roof penetrations (chimneys, skylights, vents). If we identify complex issues, we may recommend additional diagnostics to confirm the source of a leak.

Many leaks trace back to flashing failures (chimneys, vents, skylights), compromised pipe boots, missing/lifted shingles, deteriorated sealants, and drainage problems that allow water to back up. That’s why our inspection checks these areas specifically.

Yes. Water can enter the roof system and remain in the attic insulation or decking before it ever shows up on a ceiling. Early detection helps prevent mold and wood rot—two of the costliest “hidden” outcomes of ongoing moisture intrusion.

Book an inspection ASAP if you notice:

  • Ceiling stains or active dripping
  • Missing or lifted shingles
  • Granules collecting in gutters/downspouts
  • New sagging areas on the roofline
  • Leaks around chimneys, vents, or skylights
  • After hail or high winds

If we find damage consistent with storm activity, we’ll explain what we see, what’s repairable vs. replacement-level, and connect you with our insurance claims team to assist with filing and working with your insurance provider.

Yes. Drainage matters because poor water flow can accelerate shingle wear and cause water to back up at roof edges. We check for gutter and drainage problems as part of the inspection.

Granules are the protective “top layer” on asphalt shingles that helps resist UV damage. Excessive granule loss can shorten shingle lifespan and indicate aging or storm impacts. During inspections, we look for granule loss patterns that suggest accelerated wear.

It can. Moss and algae can trap moisture against the shingle surface, increasing wear and sometimes lifting edges over time. We check for moss and algae growth and can recommend safe options to address it.

Improper installation can include mis-nailed shingles, incorrect flashing details, poor ventilation setup, or missing components. These issues can cause premature failures even on newer roofs—so we watch for patterns that suggest installation-related weaknesses.

In many cases, yes. Safety comes first. If a roof is too steep, wet, icy, or otherwise unsafe for direct walking, we can still perform a thorough evaluation using alternate methods and visible-access checks—then recommend the safest next step if further inspection is needed.

Nothing major. If possible, ensure gates are unlocked, pets are secured, and you can point out any interior leak spots or timelines (when you first noticed staining or dripping). That context helps us focus on likely entry points.

Often, yes. Many failures start at penetrations and flashing where issues aren’t visible from the ground. A roof can look okay and still have vulnerable details that show up during a multi-point inspection.

Yes—your results should be delivered in a clean, easy-to-understand format (perfect for homeowners, buyers/sellers, and insurance communication), outlining what’s in good shape, what needs attention, and recommended next steps.
