Roof inspection and certification in San Diego.
A proper inspection is not a 10-minute walk-around. We inspect every penetration, every valley, the attic from below, and the deck condition. Written report with photos, moisture meter readings, and a clear verdict: good, repair-needed, or replacement-recommended.

What do homeowners ask about Inspections?
What does your inspection cover?
Exterior: every penetration (chimney, vent pipes, skylights), every flashing, valleys, ridge, gutters, fascia, eaves, attic access. Interior: attic visual inspection for staining, mold, daylight through the deck, and ventilation assessment. Report includes photos, condition notes, estimated remaining life, and recommended actions.
How is this different from a home inspector's roof check?
A general home inspector does a visual walk-around and notes major issues. We're on the roof, crawl the attic, use a moisture meter, and document with a written roof-specific report that satisfies insurance and real estate requirements. Different scope, different depth.
Will you tell me if I need a replacement?
Yes, honestly. If the roof has 8+ years of life, we tell you. If it needs a repair now but is otherwise solid, we tell you that too. We don't manufacture problems to create work. Our inspection reputation is worth more than any single replacement job.
Do insurance companies accept your certification?
Yes. We provide an AAA, State Farm, Mercury, or Farmers-compliant roof certification letter. Some carriers have specific form requirements; tell us which carrier at booking and we match the format they want.
What is an infrared moisture scan?
An infrared camera detects temperature differences on the roof surface caused by wet underlayment or insulation beneath. It finds active leaks before they become interior damage, and quantifies hidden water intrusion during claims. Premium option; worth it for flat roofs and large insurance claims.

Homeowners who hired us for this
Our 1990s Spanish tile roof was leaking in three spots. Instead of a full tear-off, Top Pro did a lift-and-relay with new underlayment and salvaged 90% of the original tiles. Crew was meticulous. Passed inspection on the first visit.
Got four quotes for a full tear-off and reroof. Top Pro was the only company that actually pulled up into the attic to check for rot before quoting. Found damage the others missed. Fair price. Crew was on time every day.
Live three blocks from the ocean. Salt killed our old shingle roof in 12 years. Top Pro installed stone-coated steel with stainless fasteners. Clean lines, clean job site, and they coordinated the HOA design review paperwork.
