What is a roofing inspection report template?
A roofing inspection report is the written summary of a roof inspection. It documents the roof's current condition, identifies damage, rates severity, and recommends action. It's the sales document for a replacement and the evidence document for an insurance claim.
When to use
- Every free inspection (yes, put it in writing)
- Insurance claim inspections
- Pre-purchase inspections for real estate transactions
- Annual inspections for maintenance customers
What's included
- Property + inspector details, date
- Roof age, pitch, material, and layers
- Elevation-by-elevation condition rating
- Damage documentation with photos (per slope)
- Test square results (for hail)
- Ventilation assessment
- Flashing + penetration assessment
- Interior evidence (attic inspection)
- Recommendations + priority level
- Estimated remaining life
How it differs from generic
- Photo grid layout per elevation
- Test square methodology built in for hail claims
- Attic inspection section — most reports skip this
- Priority ratings homeowners can act on
Why written inspection reports close more jobs
A homeowner who receives a verbal 'you need a new roof' from a contractor believes it 30% of the time. A homeowner who receives a photo-driven written report believes it 80%+ of the time.
The report also serves as a leave-behind for the shopping process. When the homeowner talks to a spouse or a second opinion, your report is in their hands — the competitor's isn't.
Frequently asked questions
Should I charge for the inspection?
Free is standard for residential sales inspections. Paid inspections are common for pre-purchase (real estate) and annual maintenance customers.
How detailed should the report be?
8-15 photos and 2-4 pages. Detailed enough to be credible, short enough that the homeowner reads it.
