Regular roof inspections are the cheapest insurance a homeowner can buy. A 20-minute inspection catches small issues — a cracked pipe boot, a lifted shingle, a popped nail — before they turn into interior drywall, insulation, and framing repairs that cost thousands. In the Chicago climate, annual inspections after the spring storm season and before winter are a good rhythm for most roofs.
Dynasty Restoration performs four kinds of inspections: routine maintenance inspections for homeowners, pre-listing inspections for real estate transactions, post-storm damage assessments (which are also free), and warranty-compliance inspections for manufacturer-warranty enrollment. Every inspection ends with a written report and photographs you can use however you need.
What We Inspect
Shingle Field
Granule loss, cracks, lifted tabs, seal integrity, and storm damage patterns across every pitch.
Flashing & Penetrations
Chimney flashing, sidewall step flashing, pipe boots, attic vent flashings, skylights, and all roof-to-wall transitions.
Valleys & Ridges
Water-concentration zones — the first place aging roofs begin to fail.
Gutters & Drainage
Gutter attachment, pitch, downspout extensions, and evidence of granule runoff.
Fascia & Soffit
Rot, paint failure, and evidence of animal intrusion at the roof edge.
Attic (When Accessible)
Ventilation, insulation depth, moisture staining, and any active leak evidence from the underside.
What You Get
After the inspection we send you a written report with photographs of every issue found, an age estimate of the roof, and an honest recommendation — repair, replace, or monitor. If there is no damage, we tell you that too, in writing, so you have documentation for your records.
