Roof Inspection

A roof inspection is a close look at a roof's current condition, checking for wear, damage, or areas where water could get in. Property owners in Chicago typically schedule one after a storm, before buying or selling a building, as part of routine upkeep, or when a leak or soft spot raises concern. Perez Roofing & Masonry Inc. performs these inspections on residential and commercial roofs across the city.

What an Inspection Covers

Surface condition — checking shingles, membranes, or coatings for cracking, blistering, or lifting.
Flashing and edges — reviewing seals around chimneys, valleys, and roof edges where water intrusion often starts.
Hidden moisture — identifying trapped water beneath the surface before it leads to structural damage.
Drainage — confirming gutters and flat-roof drains are directing water away properly.

Tools Used On-Site

Drone Roof Inspections — aerial footage gives a full view of the roof without added foot traffic.
Infrared Roof Moisture Scanning — locates hidden moisture pockets not visible to the eye.
Moisture Meters — pinpoint specific leak sources for accurate follow-up.
Fall Protection & Safety Systems — keep crew members secure while inspecting steep or high roof sections.

Findings from an inspection help determine whether a roof needs repair, coating, or replacement, and give property owners a clear picture of what to expect going forward.
