ROOFING-FIRST. INSPECTION-DRIVEN.

Roof Inspection in St. Louis, MO

If your roof is leaking, recently went through a storm, is getting older, or you simply are not sure what it needs, start with a roof inspection. CGR Legacy Construction inspects and documents important visible roof conditions, explains what we find, and helps you understand whether the next step looks more like monitoring, repair, replacement, or further evaluation.

When Should You Schedule a Roof Inspection?

An inspection makes sense when something has changed, something does not look right, or you need clearer information before making a roofing decision.

Leak or Water Stain

Recent Hail or Wind

Missing or Damaged Shingles

Aging Roof or Repeated Repairs

Repair vs. Replacement Question

Buying / Selling or Unclear Roof History

You do not need to know the answer before you call. The inspection is how we narrow it down.

What We Check During a Roof Inspection

Of course, the exact inspection depends on the property, roof type, concern, access, and safe working conditions. CGR focuses on the roof areas most likely to explain visible problems and affect the next roofing decision.

Inspection Areas: Roof surface and shingle condition; flashing and roof-to-wall transitions; pipe boots and penetrations; valleys, ridge and edge details; visible storm-related conditions; leak-related problem areas; gutters/drainage context where relevant; overall wear and condition that may affect repair or replacement planning.

Important visible conditions should be photographed and explained so the homeowner can see what CGR is seeing.

If you are not sure what the roof needs, that is exactly why an inspection helps.

What Happens After We Inspect the Roof?

The inspection is meant to clarify the roof condition—not force a predetermined sale.

  • Monitor / no immediate roofing work
  • Targeted repair
  • Broader repair or maintenance plan
    Roof replacement planning
  • storm-related documentation / insurance-side follow-up
  • Further specialist evaluation when the condition falls outside a normal roofing scope.

A roof inspection helps confirm what the roof actually needs before you make a decision.

Common Reasons Homeowners Request a Roof Inspection

General Roof Condition

Understand visible condition, wear, and current concerns.

Leak / Problem Area

Investigate roof areas related to water entry or recurring issues.

Storm Damage

Document visible hail/wind-related roof conditions and roofing next steps

Repair vs. Replacement Planning

Determine whether a localized fix or broader project deserves consideration.

Buying / Selling / Roof History

Get clearer roof-specific information when age, repairs, or condition are uncertain.

After Hail or Wind, Start With a Clear Roof Inspection

After all, storm damage is not always obvious from the ground. CGR can inspect accessible roof areas, photograph visible conditions, and explain whether the roofing next step looks more like monitoring, repair, replacement, temporary protection, or further insurance-related review.

The insurance adjuster reviews coverage. CGR reviews and documents the roof.

Buying or Selling a Home?

Get Clearer Roof Information Before the Next Decision

Similarly, roof age and condition are not always obvious from a listing, a seller’s memory, or a quick view from the ground. CGR’s First-Time Homebuyer Roof Guide helps buyers understand warning signs, questions to ask, documentation to request, and when a roof-specific evaluation may make sense.

Roof Inspection FAQs

Yes. In fact, CGR offers free roof inspections for homeowners in its service area. The purpose is to understand visible roof concerns and then explain likely next steps.

The exact scope depends on the roof and the concern, but CGR typically reviews accessible roof surfaces, shingles, flashing/detail areas, penetrations, visible leak or storm-related conditions, and overall wear that may affect repair or replacement planning.

It can help clarify whether the observed issue appears localized, more widespread, or appropriate for continued monitoring. However, final recommendations depend on the roof’s actual condition.

If you suspect damage, see visible changes, or have leak-related concerns after a storm, an inspection can document visible roofing conditions and help clarify the next roofing step.

No. An inspection documents roof conditions. Whether to pursue a claim is the homeowner’s decision, and the insurance carrier/adjuster determines coverage.

In general, there is no single schedule that fits every roof. An inspection may make sense after a significant storm, when leaks or visible changes appear, when roof age/history is unclear, or before a major repair/replacement decision.

No. Instead, this is a roofing contractor evaluation focused on roof/exterior conditions within CGR’s scope, not a full home inspection or structural engineering report.

If roofing work is recommended, CGR can explain the construction next step and prepare project pricing/scope as appropriate.
