After high wind or hail
Documenting lifted, creased, fractured, impacted or displaced roofing materials.
Professional roof inspections
Know what your roof needs before deciding what comes next.
A useful roof inspection should give you clarity—not pressure. Sawtooth examines the visible roofing system, documents relevant conditions and explains whether the practical next step is maintenance, repair, replacement or simply continued monitoring.
Roof Inspections
A roof inspection built around useful answers.
We look beyond the most obvious shingle. The inspection considers roof coverings, flashing, penetrations, valleys, ridges, drainage, visible ventilation components and accessible signs of deck or moisture concerns.
If the inspection follows a storm or active leak, we focus on the reported issue while still checking connected components that may influence the cause or repair scope.
What we evaluate
When to schedule an inspection
When you notice a leak
Tracing the likely pathway and checking the surrounding system.
Before buying or selling
Understanding visible roof condition before a major property decision.
As the roof ages
Establishing a baseline and identifying maintenance before damage expands.
After falling debris
Checking impact areas, punctures and concealed concerns around the strike.
Before planning replacement
Confirming scope considerations, measurements and system options.

The Sawtooth standard
Good documentation creates better decisions.
Clear photographs and an organized explanation help property owners understand the difference between normal wear, isolated damage and conditions that may justify broader work.
When an insurance claim is involved, Sawtooth documents construction conditions and can prepare a detailed scope. The insurance carrier remains responsible for making coverage decisions.

Call 208.996.8748 →Are Sawtooth roof inspections free?
Yes. We offer free roof inspections for properties within our Treasure Valley service area.
Will I receive photographs?
We photograph relevant roof conditions so the findings and recommended next steps can be clearly explained.
Should I inspect my roof after a windstorm?
Yes if you see missing materials, debris, interior moisture or other changes. Some wind damage is less obvious from the ground, so an inspection can provide clarity.
Is an inspection the same as an engineering report?
No. Our inspection is a contractor evaluation of visible roofing conditions. When engineering analysis is necessary, that is performed by a qualified engineer.
