Real Roof Inspection Experience in Metairie

Lone Wolf Roofing’s roots in Metairie and Jefferson Parish construction go back to 1993. That history means real, practical experience with the heat, humidity, heavy rain, and hurricane weather that can affect roofs in this area. Knowing what a healthy roof looks like is important. Knowing how to spot early signs of damage before they turn into an active leak is just as important.

Our inspectors are also GAF Master Elite trained. Your roof is evaluated using the same standards we use when installing a roofing system, not simply checked for obvious damage.

What Happens During a Roof Inspection?

A roof inspection looks at more than just the shingles you can see from the ground.

Exterior Roof Inspection

We check the condition of your roofing materials and look for signs of damage or wear. This can include:

Shingle condition and granule loss
Flashing around chimneys and vents
Roof valleys
Missing or damaged roofing materials
Signs of sagging or problems with the roofline

Attic and Interior Inspection

When accessible, we also look inside the attic and other areas for signs of roofing problems. We check for:

Moisture or water staining
Mold
Poor attic ventilation
Daylight visible through the roof deck

These problems can sometimes appear before a leak becomes visible on your ceiling.

Photo Documentation

We take photos of the problems we find so you can see what is happening with your roof.

Written Report

You’ll receive a clear summary of what we found and what we recommend. The report can also be useful for your personal records, an insurance claim, or a real estate transaction.

When Should You Get a Roof Inspection?

There are several situations when a professional roof inspection can be helpful.

Buying a Home

An inspection can help you understand the condition of the roof before closing on the property.

Selling a Home

Finding roofing problems before listing your home gives you the opportunity to address them before a buyer discovers them during their inspection.

After a Storm

Strong winds and heavy rain can cause damage that is not always visible from the ground. A post-storm inspection can help document the condition of your roof and identify possible damage.

Routine Maintenance

Small roofing problems are usually easier and less expensive to fix before they become major leaks or structural issues.

Warranty Requirements

Some extended manufacturer warranties may require periodic professional inspections to remain valid. If you have an extended warranty, it is worth checking whether inspections are required.

What Happens After Your Inspection?

After the inspection, we’ll give you an honest recommendation based on what we find. There are usually three possible outcomes:

Your roof is in good condition. You may not need any work at this time.
Your roof needs a repair. If the problem is limited to a specific area, a roof repair may be enough.
Your roof needs replacement. If the damage is widespread or the roof is near the end of its lifespan, a roof replacement may be the better long-term option.

We’ll explain what we found and recommend the option that makes sense for your roof, even if that means you do not need any work right now.

Post-Storm Roof Inspections and Insurance

After a storm, a roof inspection can help identify and document damage before you decide whether to file an insurance claim. We take photos of the damage and can help you understand the next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the roof inspection really free?

Yes. The inspection is free. There is no obligation to move forward with a repair, replacement, or any other service after the inspection.

How long does a roof inspection take?

Most residential roof inspections take less than an hour. The exact time can depend on the size of the home and how accessible the roof is.

Should I get a roof inspection before buying or selling a home?

It is not always required, but it can be very helpful. For buyers, it provides a better understanding of the roof’s condition before purchasing the home. For sellers, it gives you the opportunity to identify potential problems before they become part of a buyer’s negotiations.

What happens if you find a problem during the inspection?

We’ll explain what we found and show you the photos. Then we’ll give you an honest recommendation. That may be a small repair, a roof replacement, or no work at all.
