Why this combination
Roof Inspections tuned for realtors & home sellers.
This page is for listing agents preparing a property for market, buyer's agents responding to an inspection report, sellers who want to know what their roof will mean at the negotiating table, and investors turning properties in the Kansas City metro. It applies across the market, from a 1940s Brookside, Waldo, or Blue Hills house with an aging roof to a 1990s Lee's Summit or Overland Park two-story that took hail last spring, and to a Liberty or Parkville listing where the buyer's insurer is asking questions. If a roof is standing between you and a closing, this is the page.
Within that, roof inspections is one of the workstreams (4 total) we run for realtors & home sellers. The scope, cadence, and reporting are tuned to the operational reality of this audience — not a generic roofing checklist.
How we approach it:
Fast, free roof inspections with a report agents can use
We get on the roof, not just look from the ground, and document shingle condition, flashing, penetrations, valleys, gutters, and any storm damage with photos. The written report includes a remaining-life estimate in plain language and a clear statement of what, if anything, needs attention. It is written to be attached to a disclosure, forwarded to the other side's agent, or sent to a buyer's insurer. Pre-listing, post-inspection, or pre-closing, the format is the same.
What goes wrong
Common roof inspections failure modes for realtors & home sellers
Failure patterns we see across realtors & home sellers accounts — the ones our scope is designed to prevent.
The buyer's inspector flagged the roof, vaguely
General home inspectors are not roofers, and their language shows it: 'roof appears to be near end of life,' 'recommend evaluation by a licensed roofer.' That sentence can cost a seller thousands in credits or blow up a deal, even when the roof has ten years left. A roof-specific inspection with photos, a real remaining-life estimate, and a fixed repair quote for anything actually wrong turns a vague flag into a document both sides can work from.
Hail damage nobody disclosed because nobody knew
A lot of Kansas City homes went through a hail event two or three springs ago and never got inspected. The seller does not know. The buyer's inspector may or may not catch it. Then the buyer's insurer inspects after closing and the new owner finds out their roof has undisclosed storm damage and a claim window that may already be closed. A pre-listing inspection surfaces this while there is still time to handle it properly.
Closing timelines that do not wait for contractors
Inspection contingencies run in days, not weeks. Repair addendums require the work to be done and documented before closing. Most contractors quote in a week and schedule in three. We prioritize transaction work: inspection within a day or two, a written report the same day, and repairs scheduled to hit the addendum deadline. When a replacement is agreed, we can usually complete it before closing and provide the documentation the title company and lender want.
Insurers asking for roof age and condition before binding
Missouri and Kansas insurers increasingly ask for roof age and sometimes a condition report before they will write a policy, and some will not bind on roofs over a certain age without an inspection. Buyers find this out days before closing. A written roof inspection report with photos and an age estimate, plus documentation of any repairs, is usually what the insurer needs. We produce it in a format agents can forward directly.
