A Free Roof Inspection That Gives You Answers, Not a Sales Pitch

A lot of companies offer free inspections. Fewer will tell you your roof is fine and leave it at that. At BigFoot Roofing & Gutters, every inspection ends with a written report and an honest recommendation — whether that's maintain, repair, replace, or nothing at all.

The Inspection Is Free. So Is the Report. So Is the Estimate.

We hear it all the time: "free inspection" usually means a contractor shows up, finds something wrong, and won't leave until you sign something. That's not how we work. Our free roof inspection in Salt Lake City and across the Wasatch Front is exactly what it sounds like — a thorough evaluation of your roof's condition, documented with photos and drone imagery, followed by a written report you keep regardless of what you decide next.

What We Inspect — Every Slope, Every Detail

Our inspection covers every component that affects your roof's performance and longevity. We don't do a quick visual from the driveway and call it done. We get on the roof, document what we find, and back it up with drone footage so you can see exactly what we see.

Shingles and Surface Condition

We check for cracking, curling, blistering, granule loss, and missing shingles — the signs that indicate age, storm damage, or manufacturer defects that may be covered under your existing warranty.

Flashing and Penetrations

Flashing failures around chimneys, skylights, vents, and pipe boots are among the most common sources of roof leaks. We inspect every penetration point for proper sealing, rust, separation, and deterioration.

Valleys and Drainage Paths

Roof valleys carry the highest volume of water on any slope. We evaluate valley flashing, shingle overlap, and debris accumulation that can trap moisture and accelerate wear in these high-stress zones.

Vents and Attic Ventilation

Poor attic ventilation shortens shingle life and drives up energy costs. We assess ridge vents, soffit vents, and any power ventilators to confirm your roof system is breathing the way it should.

Gutters and Fascia

Gutters that pull away from the fascia, hold standing water, or show granule buildup are a signal worth noting. We document gutter condition as part of every inspection — because what's happening at the edge of your roof matters too.

Drone Documentation

We use drone imagery to capture every slope, ridge, and problem area from above. The result is a visual record of your roof's condition that's useful for your own files, for insurance claims, and for real estate transactions where documentation matters.

Who Should Schedule a Roof Inspection

A free roof evaluation isn't just for homeowners who suspect a problem. There are several situations where a professional inspection gives you information you can actually use:

 

  • Your roof is 15 or more years old and you've never had it evaluated
  • You've recently experienced a hail storm, high winds, or heavy snow load
  • You're buying or selling a home and want an independent roof condition report
  • You're preparing for winter and want to confirm there are no vulnerabilities
  • Your insurance company has asked for documentation of your roof's current condition
  • You've noticed interior water stains, granules in your gutters, or shingles on the ground

What You Get When the Inspection Is Done

The deliverable isn't a handshake and a vague summary. Every BigFoot roof inspection produces a concrete set of findings you can reference, share, and act on.

 

After we complete your evaluation, you receive a written roof condition report with photo documentation, drone imagery of all slopes and problem areas, a clear maintain, repair, or replace recommendation based on what we actually found, and — when storm damage is present — claim-ready documentation formatted to support an insurance submission.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Inspections

  • What does a free roof inspection include?

    Our inspection covers shingles, flashing, valleys, vents, attic ventilation, gutters, and fascia. We document everything with photos and drone imagery, then deliver a written report with a clear maintain, repair, or replace recommendation.

  • How often should I get my roof inspected in Utah?

    Most roofing professionals recommend an inspection every three to five years for roofs in good condition, and after any significant storm event. If your roof is 15 or more years old, an annual inspection is a reasonable precaution given Utah's hail seasons and winter snow loads.

  • Is the inspection really free, or will I be pressured to buy something?

    It's genuinely free — no obligation, no pressure. If the inspection shows your roof is in good shape, we'll tell you that and send you the report. If we find issues, we'll explain your options clearly and let you decide what to do next.

  • Can a roof inspection help with my homeowners insurance claim?

    Yes. When we find storm damage, we document it in a format that supports an insurance submission. Our founders are former insurance adjusters, so we know exactly what carriers need to evaluate a claim — and we build that into the inspection report from the start.

  • Do you offer drone roof inspections?

    We do. Drone imagery is included with every inspection we perform. It gives you a complete visual record of every slope and problem area from above — useful for your own files, for insurance documentation, and for real estate transactions where buyers or agents want to see the roof condition clearly.
