Roof Inspection Checklist

Shingles, Flashing, Gutters & Attic Walkthrough

This print-friendly DIY roof inspection checklist walks you through every part of a residential roof system: shingle condition (cracks, lifted tabs, granule loss), flashing integrity (sealant, rust, separation), valleys, ridge and gable vents, gutter and downspout flow, attic moisture and insulation, and visible deck condition from inside the attic. Done twice a year (spring and fall), this 30-minute walkthrough catches 80% of issues before they become $5,000 leaks.
