Free roof inspection springfield mo: what's included 2

You have seen the ads for free roof inspections, and you are not sure if it is a real service or a sales setup to talk you into a new roof. This guide explains exactly what a free roof inspection includes, what the inspector checks, what report you get, and when to schedule one in Springfield.

**TLDR:** A legitimate free roof inspection is a full, slope by slope check of your roof with photo documentation and a written report, at no cost and no obligation. An honest contractor uses it to tell you the truth about your roof, not to pressure you into buying. The catch to watch for is high pressure sales, not the free part itself.

---

You came across a free roof inspection offer, maybe after a storm, and a fair question popped up: what is the catch? Is someone going to climb down off your roof and insist you need a full replacement on the spot?

That skepticism is healthy, and the answer is that a free inspection should be exactly what it sounds like. I am Josh Tessmer, and I own Teague Roofing Plus. We offer free inspections because that is what an honest contractor does before asking you to spend a dollar, we have served Springfield and Southwest Missouri since 1971, we are an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, and we have held a BBB A+ rating since 2019. Here is exactly what ours includes, and what it does not.

## What’s Included in a Free Roof Inspection From Teague Roofing Plus

A free inspection includes a full assessment of the roof, the soft metals, and the attic, plus photo documentation and a written report, at no cost or obligation. It is a real evaluation, not a quick glance from a ladder. The only thing it commits you to is knowing the condition of your roof.

Our inspector walks the roof, checks the slopes and the soft metals like gutters and vents, looks in the attic where access allows, and documents everything with photos. You get a written report and an honest assessment, with no pressure to buy. None of it commits you to hiring us.

Free Inspection Includes At No Cost

Slope by slope roof check Yes

Soft metals and flashing Yes

Attic check where accessible Yes

Photo documentation Yes

Written report Yes

If an offer skips the report or rushes to a sales pitch, that is the warning sign. The inspection itself should always be thorough.

> **Pro tip:** Ask for the written report and photos before you agree to any work. A real inspection produces documentation you can keep and compare, regardless of who you hire.

## What We Check: The Full Inspection Scope

We check every slope, the flashing, the soft metals, and the attic for the damage that a ground level look always misses. The point is to find problems early, including the hidden ones. Most serious roof issues are not visible from the driveway.

Our crew looks for lifted or missing shingles, hail bruising and granule loss, and damaged flashing, the metal that seals roof edges and openings. They inspect gutters and downspouts and check the attic for moisture or daylight. The [National Roofing Contractors Association](https://www.nrcia.org/comprehensive-roof-inspection) explains why regular inspections matter, and the [Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety](https://ibhs.org/) studies how roofs fail in storms. For storm specific checks, see our [hail damage roof inspection in Springfield](https://teagueroofingplus.com/hail-damage-roof-inspection-springfield/) page.

> **Important:** Much hail damage is invisible from the ground, so a roof can look fine and still be damaged. That is the whole reason an on roof inspection exists.

## What You Get Afterward: The Report and How to Use It

After the inspection, you get a written report, photo documentation, and an honest recommendation you can act on or set aside. The report is yours to keep, whether or not you hire us. It also becomes useful evidence if you file an insurance claim.

The report documents what we found and what, if anything, needs attention. If the damage looks storm related, those photos and notes support an insurance claim, and our [insurance claim assistance in Southwest Missouri](https://teagueroofingplus.com/insurance-claim-assistance-southwest-missouri-teague-roofing-plus/) team can take it from there. If you want to understand what storm damage looks like first, our guide to [what hail damage looks like on shingles](https://teagueroofingplus.com/what-hail-damage-looks-like-on-shingles/) walks through the signs.

Report Includes How to Use It

Photos of findings Evidence for a claim

Written assessment Decide repair or replace

Recommendation Plan your next step

A good report puts you in control. You decide what to do next, with the facts in front of you.

## When Should You Schedule a Free Roof Inspection?

Schedule a free inspection after any major storm, before buying or selling a home, and as a checkup every year or two. Timing matters most after storms, when claim deadlines are running. A regular inspection also catches small problems before they become expensive ones.

The best times are after a hailstorm or high wind, when buying or selling a property, and on a routine basis to track aging. Our [roof inspection and maintenance checklist](https://teagueroofingplus.com/roof-inspection-and-maintenance-checklist/) covers what to watch between visits.

When Why

After a storm Catch damage before the claim window closes

Before buying a home Know what you are getting

Before selling Fix issues before listing

Every year or two Track aging, catch problems early

Do not wait for a leak to schedule. By the time water shows inside, the damage is usually well underway.

> **Pro tip:** Book your post storm inspection quickly. Missouri insurance policies have reporting deadlines, and documenting early keeps you inside the window.

## Free Inspection vs. Insurance Adjuster Inspection: How They Work Together

A contractor’s free inspection and an insurance adjuster’s inspection serve different roles, and they work best together. The contractor documents the damage thoroughly, and the adjuster determines the claim. Having documentation before the adjuster arrives helps make sure nothing gets missed.

Your contractor inspects first and documents everything, then meets the adjuster on site to point out the damage. The adjuster evaluates the claim for the insurer. When both look at the same documented evidence, the process tends to go more smoothly. If the damage is severe, our [roof replacement team in Southwest Missouri](https://teagueroofingplus.com/roof-replacement-southwest-missouri-teague-roofing-plus/) can explain what comes next.

Inspection Role

Contractor free inspection Document the damage

Adjuster inspection Determine the claim

Together Nothing gets missed

The two inspections are partners, not rivals. The documented contractor inspection strengthens your position when the adjuster arrives.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Is a free roof inspection really free?** Yes, a legitimate free roof inspection costs you nothing and carries no obligation to buy. The contractor uses it to assess your roof and, ideally, earn your trust. Watch for high pressure sales rather than a hidden fee. If an offer feels pushy, that is the real catch.

**What does a free roof inspection include?** It includes a full slope by slope check of the roof, the soft metals, and the attic where accessible, with photos and a written report. A real inspection is thorough, not a quick look from a ladder. You should receive documentation you can keep. Ask for the report and photos before agreeing to any work.

**Will the contractor try to sell me a new roof after a free inspection?** An honest contractor gives you a straight assessment and your options, without pressuring you to buy on the spot. Some companies do use inspections as a hard sell, which is the behavior to avoid. A trustworthy roofer is fine with you taking time to decide. If you feel rushed, walk away.

**When should I get a free roof inspection?** Schedule one after any major storm, before buying or selling a home, and as a routine checkup every year or two. Post storm timing matters most because of claim deadlines. Regular inspections also catch small issues early. Do not wait for a leak to appear.

**How long does a free roof inspection take?** Most take under an hour, depending on the size and complexity of the roof. The inspector needs time to walk each slope, check the attic, and document findings. A rushed five minute look is not a real inspection. Expect a thorough check and a written report.

**Do I need a roof inspection after every storm?** After a significant hail or wind event, yes, an inspection is worth it, since damage is often invisible from the ground. Minor weather may not warrant one. When in doubt after a notable storm, schedule the check. It is free, and it protects your claim window.

**What is the difference between a free roof inspection and a home inspection?** A free roof inspection focuses only on the roof and is usually done by a roofing contractor at no cost. A home inspection covers the whole house, is paid, and is common during a sale. The roof inspection goes deeper on the roof specifically. Use each for its purpose.

**What report do I get after a free roof inspection?** You get a written report with photos of any damage, an assessment of the roof’s condition, and a recommendation. The report is yours to keep and use, including as evidence for an insurance claim. It puts the facts in your hands. Review it before deciding on any work.

It is free, and it protects your claim window."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the difference between a free roof inspection and a home inspection?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A free roof inspection focuses only on the roof and is usually done by a roofing contractor at no cost. A home inspection covers the whole house, is paid, and is common during a sale. The roof inspection goes deeper on the roof specifically. Use each for its purpose."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What report do I get after a free roof inspection?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"You get a written report with photos of any damage, an assessment of the roof's condition, and a recommendation. The report is yours to keep and use, including as evidence for an insurance claim. It puts the facts in your hands. Review it before deciding on any work."}}]}],"@id":"https:\/\/teagueroofingplus.com\/free-roof-inspection-springfield-whats-inclu\/#schema-92985","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/teagueroofingplus.com\/free-roof-inspection-springfield-whats-inclu\/#webpage"},"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/teagueroofingplus.com\/#person"},"inLanguage":"en-US","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/teagueroofingplus.com\/free-roof-inspection-springfield-whats-inclu\/#webpage"}}]},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"WebPage","name":"Free Roof Inspection Springfield MO: What&#8217;s Included","url":"https:\/\/teagueroofingplus.com\/free-roof-inspection-springfield-whats-inclu\/","speakable":{"@type":"SpeakableSpecification","cssSelector":["#tldr-summary"],"xpath":["\/\/*[@id=\"tldr-summary\"]"]},"description":"A legitimate free roof inspection is a full, slope by slope check of your roof with photo documentation and a written report, at no cost and no obligation.
