Residential Roof Inspections
Know Exactly What's Above Your Head
A professional, independent inspection of your home's roof — delivered as a detailed written report. No repairs sold. No upselling. Just the facts.
Why Get a Residential Roof Inspection?
Most homeowners only think about their roof when something goes wrong. By then, minor issues have often become expensive problems. A Red Kite inspection gives you a clear, honest picture of your roof's condition — whether you're buying a property, dealing with a suspected leak, planning maintenance, or simply want peace of mind.
- Buying a property — know what you're taking on before you exchange
- Suspected leak or damage — identify the cause and extent
- Insurance claim support — independent evidence for your insurer
- Pre-sale preparation — understand your roof before listing
- Routine condition check — catch small issues before they escalate
