How Long Does a Typical Roof Inspection Take?

A thorough professional roof inspection from HAVN Construction typically takes between 45 minutes and 2 hours to complete. The exact duration depends on several factors specific to your Cedar City home.

What Affects Inspection Time?

Roof Size A smaller single-story home can be inspected more quickly than a large multi-story property. More roof area simply means more surface to examine, more flashing points to check, and more time needed to do a thorough job.

Roof Complexity Roofs with multiple levels, steep pitches, numerous valleys, dormers, skylights, chimneys, and other features take longer to inspect because each of these elements creates potential vulnerability points that need careful attention.

Type of Inspection A standard maintenance inspection moves faster than a detailed storm damage assessment, which requires extensive documentation and photography for insurance purposes. Pre-purchase inspections also tend to be more detailed as they need to provide a comprehensive condition report.

Accessibility Roofs that are harder to access safely - due to height, steep pitch, or surrounding landscaping - may require additional time for setup and safe navigation.

Attic Inspection A complete inspection includes checking the attic for signs of water intrusion, ventilation issues, and insulation condition. The size and accessibility of your attic space affects how long this portion takes.

What Happens During the Inspection

Our Cedar City roof inspections follow a systematic process:

1. Exterior examination of all roofing materials, flashing, vents, and edges
2. Gutter and drainage assessment
3. Structural evaluation for sagging or irregularities
4. Attic inspection for moisture, ventilation, and insulation
5. Documentation with photos and notes
6. Report preparation with findings and recommendations
