The Complete Guide to Roof Inspections



Think your roof is fine because you don’t see any leaks? Think again.

At Fox Roofing Design, we’ve inspected thousands of homes in Irvine, Tustin, and throughout Orange County, and here’s the truth:
Most serious roofing problems start small—and stay hidden until it’s too late.

This guide breaks down everything homeowners need to know about roof inspections, why they matter, and how to do them right.


🔍 Why Roof Inspections Matter in SoCal

Southern California’s mild climate can be deceiving. While we don’t deal with snow or hail, we do see:

  • Heavy sun exposure

  • Wind storms and Santa Ana conditions

  • Occasional downpours that test your waterproofing

A regular roof inspection can catch damage early and help you avoid:

  • Water intrusion

  • Mold and rot

  • Expensive emergency repairs


🛠️ What’s Included in a Professional Roof Inspection?

At Fox Roofing Design, we perform a full roof inspection that covers:

  • Tiles/Shingles: Missing, cracked, curled, or slipping materials

  • Underlayment: Condition, age, and water resistance

  • Flashing & Vents: Proper sealing and signs of rust or lift

  • Gutters: Blockages, sagging, and water flow direction

  • Attic/Interior: Insulation, water stains, daylight peeking through

  • Structural Soundness: Sagging spots or soft decking

We also provide photos and a full report—so you can see exactly what we see.


⏰ How Often Should You Schedule an Inspection?

Here’s our expert recommendation:

  • 🏠 Once a year for most homes

  • 🌧️ After major storms

  • 🏗️ Before buying or selling

  • 🧱 After 10+ years of roof age (especially for tile roofs)
