Quick answer: Alpha Eagle Roofing inspects Bay Area roofs for free. A licensed crew lead walks the roof (or inspects it safely from a ladder when walking would damage it), checks the flashing, penetrations, gutters and — where accessible — the attic, photographs everything, and then gives you a written, itemized estimate. There is no obligation and no pressure to replace a roof that only needs a repair.
Who a roof inspection is for
- You have a leak, a ceiling stain, or missing or lifted shingles or tiles after a storm.
- Your roof is getting older and you want to know honestly how much life it has left.
- You are buying or selling a home and need a clear picture of the roof before escrow closes.
- You are planning solar and want to be sure the roof will outlast the panels.
- You want to catch small problems before the rainy season turns them into interior damage.
What we check
| Area | What we look for |
|---|---|
| Roof surface | Worn, cracked, curled, slipped or missing shingles/tiles; blisters, splits and ponding on flat roofs |
| Flashing | Chimney, wall, skylight and valley flashing; sealant that has dried out or pulled away |
| Penetrations | Vent pipe boots, exhaust vents, satellite and solar mounts |
| Edges and drainage | Drip edge, fascia, gutters, downspouts and where the water goes after it leaves the roof |
| Attic (where accessible) | Daylight, stains, damp or rotted decking, ventilation and signs of condensation |
| Structure | Soft or sagging areas that point to decking or framing damage |
What you get
- Photos of what we found. We document roof work in CompanyCam, so you see the same evidence we do — not just our word for it.
- A plain-English explanation of the cause of any problem, not just the symptom.
- A written, itemized estimate that separates repair options from replacement, so you can decide on facts.
- Honest advice. If a repair will do the job, we will say so.

Frequently asked questions
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes. The inspection and the written estimate are free, with no obligation.
Do I need to be home?
Not always for the roof itself, but someone needs to be there if we are checking the attic or interior stains. We confirm this when we schedule.
Will you tell me if I don’t need a new roof?
Yes. Many roofs need a targeted repair, not a replacement, and the estimate shows both options when both make sense.
Which areas do you cover?
San Francisco and San Mateo, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin and Santa Clara counties. See our service areas.
