OUR SERVICES
All Key Home Inspections include (at no additional charge) a full, walk-on roof inspection - while many of our competitors will not get onto the roof, even for an extra fee. In addition, our inspector is Haag-Certified, and has checked thousands of roofs over the last 30 years. See a list of everything our inspection includes here.
​
Please note: During this pandemic, we would prefer to inspect the home alone if possible. Our inspector will be happy to video-call after the inspection to go over the results. A mask is worn, and all tools and equipment that enter the home are sanitized after each inspection.

We offer a wide range of inspections to fit your needs.

​
the KEY difference
Walk > On > Roof > Inspection
This is the KEY feature that makes us different from every other home inspection company.
Many buyers are surprised to learn that home inspectors are not required to actually access the roof. Most other inspection companies perform a visual inspection from a ladder or even from the ground, never setting foot on the roof or viewing it entirely. This procedure addresses only the type of roof-covering material, whether it appears that there are any active leaks, and the presence of gutters, vents, etc. A walk-on roof inspection reveals failing pipe boots, faulty flashing, ripped or missing shingles, inadequate roof sheathing, etc.
With our inspection, you get so much more.

PRICELIST
We know that price is important, and we've tried hard to stay competitive. We believe that, by including a walk-on roof inspection, we have the lowest prices in town. If you find a lower price, let us know!
Thanks for all you do!
For all active first responders (law enforcement, fire department, paramedics), active public school teachers, and military personnel (active duty or retired).
