Free Roof Inspection
At Riverside Restoration, we believe knowledge is power when it comes to your roof. That's why we offer comprehensive, no-obligation roof inspections at absolutely no cost to Metro East homeowners and businesses.
Unlike superficial "drive-by" assessments, our detailed inspections leave no shingle unturned. Our certified inspectors examine every aspect of your roofing system – from shingles and flashing to ventilation and structural components – providing a complete picture of your roof's current condition.
With over 16 years of experience examining roofs throughout Collinsville, O'Fallon, Edwardsville and surrounding communities, we've developed specialized inspection protocols that identify both obvious and hidden issues. Our thorough documentation helps maximize insurance coverage for storm damage and provides clear insights for planning and budgeting.
Roofing Made Easy
Our certified inspectors carefully examine every square foot of your roof's exterior, documenting the condition of shingles, flashing, vents, chimneys, and other components. We use high-resolution photography to capture detailed evidence of any damage, wear patterns, or installation issues, paying special attention to vulnerable areas like valleys and penetrations where problems often begin.
We check your attic space for signs of water intrusion, improper ventilation, and structural concerns. Using moisture meters and infrared technology, we can detect hidden leaks and water damage that aren't yet visible on interior ceilings – catching potential problems before they cause significant damage to your home's structure and belongings.
You'll receive a comprehensive assessment of your roof's condition in clear, non-technical language. We identify any current problems, potential future issues, and provide honest recommendations based on our findings. Our reports include photographic evidence of all areas of concern and estimated remaining lifespan of your roofing system.
If repairs or replacement are needed, we provide clear options with transparent pricing and no high-pressure sales tactics. We explain the pros and cons of different approaches and help you understand the best timing for any necessary work, prioritizing your home's protection and your budget concerns.

When it comes to roof inspections, experience and attention to detail make all the difference. Riverside Restoration's inspection process goes far beyond what most companies provide.
Our inspectors are trained to identify damage patterns specific to Metro East weather conditions. From the telltale signs of hail impact to the subtle indicators of wind damage, we know exactly what to look for based on recent storm activity in your specific area. This specialized knowledge often helps homeowners discover insurance-covered damage they weren't aware existed.
We utilize advanced technology that other companies simply don't have. Our inspection toolkit includes drone photography for safe assessment of steep or dangerous roofs, infrared scanners that detect hidden moisture, and digital mapping systems that precisely document damage locations. These tools allow us to provide more accurate, comprehensive assessments without guesswork.
Documentation is a critical component of our inspection process, especially for insurance purposes. We capture detailed photos and measurements of all damage, organizing everything into clear reports that insurance adjusters appreciate for their thoroughness. Many clients tell us their claims process went smoothly specifically because of our detailed documentation.
Most importantly, our inspections come with absolute honesty. If your roof is in good condition, we'll tell you that – even if it means no immediate business for us. We build relationships through trust, knowing that providing accurate information today leads to loyal customers tomorrow. Our reputation throughout the Metro East has been built on this foundation of integrity.
A thorough roof inspection typically takes 45-60 minutes for an average-sized home, though larger or more complex roofs may require additional time. Our inspectors never rush this critical process, taking the time needed to examine all aspects of your roofing system. We evaluate exterior components like shingles, flashing, and ventilation, as well as checking your attic space for signs of leaks or ventilation issues. Following the physical inspection, we take time to review our findings with you in detail, answering any questions you might have about your roof's condition. This comprehensive approach ensures you receive complete, accurate information about your roof's health.
We recommend having your roof professionally inspected at least once per year as preventative maintenance, ideally in early spring after winter weather or in fall before winter arrives. Additionally, you should schedule an inspection after any significant weather event like hailstorms, high winds, or heavy snowfall. Regular inspections can identify minor issues before they become major problems, often saving thousands in potential repair costs. For newer roofs (0-5 years old) in good condition, an annual inspection may be sufficient. Older roofs (10+ years) benefit from semi-annual inspections to catch age-related deterioration early. Most manufacturer warranties actually require regular inspections to maintain coverage, making this small investment particularly valuable.
Absolutely. Our inspectors are specifically trained to identify all types of storm damage, including wind, hail, and water impacts that might not be visible from the ground. We document all storm-related damage with detailed photographs and measurements that insurance companies require for claims approval. Having handled thousands of storm damage inspections throughout the Metro East, our team knows exactly what evidence adjusters need to approve claims. If we find damage consistent with recent storms in your area, we'll explain the insurance claim process and can work directly with your provider to ensure you receive the coverage you're entitled to. Even seemingly minor storm damage can compromise your roof's integrity, so thorough documentation is critical.
There is absolutely no obligation when you receive our free roof inspection. We don't employ high-pressure sales tactics or manipulation to sell services you don't need. Our inspection process is designed to provide you with accurate information about your roof's condition, allowing you to make informed decisions on your own timeline. Many homeowners use our inspections simply for peace of mind or future planning purposes. If we do find issues that need attention, we'll clearly explain your options, associated costs, and the timeframe in which repairs should be addressed. Our reputation throughout Collinsville, O'Fallon, Edwardsville and the Metro East is built on honesty and respect for our customers' decisions.
