Professional Roof Inspection Services in Detroit, MI
A professional roof inspection is the single most important thing you can do to protect one of the most valuable assets you own — your home. Most roof problems start small and go undetected until they cause serious water damage, structural deterioration, or mold growth. A thorough annual inspection by a certified roofing professional can catch these issues while they're still inexpensive to fix, saving Detroit homeowners thousands of dollars in avoidable repairs.
Tyus Pros performs detailed, honest roof inspections throughout Detroit and all its neighborhoods. We don't upsell. We don't manufacture problems that don't exist. We give you a clear, documented picture of your roof's current condition and what — if anything — needs to be addressed. Call us today at 313-497-5306 to schedule your inspection.
Types of Roof Inspections We Perform in Detroit
Annual Maintenance Inspection
We recommend every Detroit homeowner schedule a professional roof inspection at least once per year, ideally in spring after the winter season has run its course. Michigan winters are particularly hard on roofs — freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams, heavy snow loads, and wind-driven debris all take their toll. An annual inspection catches minor issues before they become major problems.
Pre-Purchase Home Inspection
If you're buying a home in Detroit, a dedicated roof inspection is essential and should be separate from — not combined with — a general home inspection. General home inspectors look at everything broadly; we look at your roof in depth. We can tell you the approximate age and condition of the roof, estimate its remaining useful life, identify any existing damage or defects, and give you a clear picture of what you're getting into before you sign on the dotted line.
Post-Storm Damage Inspection
After any significant weather event — high winds, hail, heavy snow, or falling trees — you should have your roof inspected by a professional. Storm damage is not always visible from the ground and often doesn't reveal itself as an interior leak until weeks or months after the event. Our post-storm inspections thoroughly document all damage in a format suitable for insurance claims, ensuring you receive a fair settlement from your insurer.
Insurance Inspection
Whether you've been asked by your insurance company to have your roof inspected or you're filing a claim for storm damage, Tyus Pros provides professional inspection reports that meet insurance company requirements. We document all findings with photographs and written descriptions, identify the cause of each issue, and provide repair or replacement cost estimates.
Pre-Sale Inspection
If you're preparing to sell your Detroit home, a roof inspection before listing can help you identify and address issues proactively rather than having them surface during the buyer's inspection and potentially derail the sale or force a last-minute price reduction.
What Our Roof Inspection Covers
Our certified inspectors conduct a comprehensive evaluation of every component of your roofing system, including:
- Shingles and surface material — condition, age, granule loss, curling, cracking, missing pieces
- Flashing — around chimneys, skylights, vents, valleys, and wall junctions
- Gutters and downspouts — attachment, slope, blockage, and condition
- Ridge and hip — ridge cap condition and alignment
- Valleys — open or closed valley condition and water channeling effectiveness
- Soffits and fascia — condition, paint, rot, animal intrusion points
- Ventilation — ridge vents, soffit vents, attic fans — proper airflow is critical for roof longevity
- Attic inspection (where accessible) — insulation depth, signs of water intrusion, condensation, mold, daylight through decking
- Penetrations — all pipe boots, HVAC penetrations, exhaust vents
- Decking — visible evidence of rot, delamination, or sagging
What You Receive After Your Inspection
After completing your roof inspection, we provide a detailed written report that includes:
- Overall condition rating and estimated remaining life of the roof
- Itemized list of all identified deficiencies with photographs
- Prioritized repair recommendations — what needs immediate attention vs. what can wait
- Estimated repair or replacement costs
- Our professional recommendation on repair vs. replacement if applicable
How Detroit's Climate Affects Your Roof
Detroit's weather is among the most demanding in the Midwest for roofing systems. With average annual snowfall of 33 inches, regular freeze-thaw cycling throughout the winter, spring storms bringing heavy rain and wind, and summer heat pushing attic temperatures well above 150 degrees, your roof is under constant stress from multiple directions. Regular professional inspections are not a luxury in Detroit — they are essential preventive maintenance that extends roof life and prevents costly emergency repairs.
