Roof Inspection Services
Roof inspection services are a systematic examination of your roof’s structure, covering, flashing, and drainage, designed to catch small problems before they become five-figure repairs. In West Palm Beach, where salt air and summer storms work on a roof year-round, an inspection is the cheapest insurance you can buy against a premature replacement. A standard inspection from Brennan Roofing Co West Palm Beach runs $150 to $400, and every inspection comes with a written report and photos of anything we find.
What We Check
We walk the entire roof surface and check the attic from below. That means looking at shingles or tile, the underlayment, the decking, the flashing around chimneys and vents, the drip edge, and every penetration where water could get in. We also check the attic for signs of moisture, improper ventilation, and daylight coming through where it shouldn’t.
When to Schedule One
After any storm with wind over 50 mph, after you notice a ceiling stain, or before you list your home for sale are the three big triggers. Homeowners in West Palm Beach should also get an inspection every two years as routine maintenance, even if nothing looks wrong from the ground.

Hail Damage Roof
Hail damage roof inspections are a specialized service that identifies impact marks, cracked shingles, and bruised underlayment from hailstorms that most homeowners never even see. Hail in South Florida is less common than in the Midwest, but when it hits West Palm Beach, the damage is often hidden: a shingle can be bruised from below and fail two years later. A hail-specific inspection costs $150 to $400, and if you file an insurance claim, the written report we provide is exactly what your adjuster needs to see.
What Hail Damage Looks Like
Look for small dimples in shingles, granules collecting in your gutters, and dents in metal flashing or vents. A hail hit doesn’t always break through; it creates a soft spot where the shingle loses its protective granules and begins to degrade under UV exposure. We document every impact with photos so you can see what we see.
Inspection Before You File
Many homeowners in West Palm Beach make the mistake of filing a claim without an independent inspection first. Insurance adjusters are trained to look for ways to deny, and an independent report from a roofing company that isn’t trying to sell you a new roof gives you leverage. We inspect, report, and let you decide what to do with the information.
Roof Estimate
A roof estimate is a written line-item price for repair or replacement work, and at Brennan Roofing Co West Palm Beach, it’s the document you get before any work begins, no exceptions. In West Palm Beach, a repair estimate might run anywhere from $300 for a small flashing fix to $15,000 or more for a full replacement, depending on square footage and material. The estimate itself is free, and it does not move at the door.
Written, Not Verbal
We don’t do verbal quotes. Every estimate from Brennan Roofing is a written document with materials, labor, and timeline spelled out. Part of the reason homeowners get burned by roofers is that a verbal number has no teeth, and the price migrates once the crew is on the roof. Ours is on paper before we touch a shingle.
What an Estimate Should Include
Any legitimate roof estimate should list the materials by brand and quantity, the labor, the disposal, and the permit costs if applicable. If a roofer hands you a number without a breakdown, that’s a red flag. Our estimates show you exactly what you’re paying for and why, so you can compare apples to apples against other bids.
Free Roof Inspection
A free roof inspection is a no-charge visual assessment of your roof’s condition, and at Brennan Roofing Co West Palm Beach, it’s the same inspection we’d charge for minus the written report. We offer free inspections for homeowners in West Palm Beach who are considering a major repair or replacement, because we want you to see what we see before you spend a dollar. The catch is simple: we don’t charge for the look, and we don’t pressure you into anything based on what we find.
What Free Actually Means
Our free inspection includes a full walk of the roof surface, an attic check, and a plain-English explanation of what we found. If we find nothing wrong, we tell you so. If we find problems, we give you a written estimate and let you make the call. That’s the whole deal.
When It Makes Sense
If you’re buying a home in West Palm Beach and need a second opinion, or if a roofer just quoted you $20,000 for a replacement and you want a straight answer about whether it’s necessary, a free inspection from us is the right move. You get the same Garrison Standard: background-checked, uniformed technician, no games.
Roof Inspection Companies
Roof inspection companies in West Palm Beach range from one-truck operations to national franchises, and the difference between them comes down to whether they have a defined standard they’re willing to put in writing. Brennan Roofing Co West Palm Beach is an independently owned and operated member of the Garrison Partners family, founded in 2000, which means we’re local people held to a named standard. A standard inspection from us runs $150 to $400, and the price is on paper before we start.
How to Choose One
Ask three questions before you book with any roof inspection company: Is the price in writing before work starts? Are the technicians background-checked and uniformed? Is the work guaranteed in writing? If the answer to any of those is vague, keep looking. We answer all three the same way every time: yes, yes, and yes, for one full year, in writing.
Why Local Matters Here
Roofs in West Palm Beach live in a specific environment: salt air, high humidity, hurricane-force wind, and intense UV. A company that cuts its teeth in another climate won’t know what corrosion from salt spray does to flashing, or how tile underlayment fails after a few decades of South Florida rain. We’ve been working these roofs long enough to know what to look for before it fails.
Commercial Roof Inspection
Commercial roof inspection is a documented evaluation of a flat or low-slope roof on a commercial property, and it matters because a neglected commercial roof can leak into inventory, workspaces, and electrical systems before anyone notices. In West Palm Beach, commercial inspections typically run $300 to $800 depending on square footage and roof type, and the report we provide is written for insurance, maintenance planning, and capital budgeting. Brennan Roofing Co West Palm Beach inspects commercial roofs with the same disciplined process we use on homes.
What We Inspect on Commercial Roofs
Flat roofs fail differently than sloped ones. We check membrane seams, ponding water, blisters, penetrations, and the condition of drains and scuppers. We also look at the parapet walls and edge flashing, which are where most commercial roof leaks begin. Every finding is documented with photos and mapped to a location on the roof.
Inspection Cadence for Business Owners
Most commercial roofing manufacturers recommend inspections at least twice a year, and after any storm with wind over 60 mph. A documented inspection history also protects your warranty claims and gives your insurance company a reason to renew without a fight. We’ll set you up on a schedule and keep the records.
Brands We Service
We install and service materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, and we know those systems the way a mechanic knows an engine. When we inspect a CertainTeed architectural shingle roof in West Palm Beach, we’re checking for the specific failure modes that product line is known for in a coastal climate. Same with Owens Corning: we know their granule adhesion characteristics and what to look for after years of UV and salt exposure.
IKO and Atlas both make quality shingles, and both have specific installation requirements for wind zones like ours. When we inspect a roof from either manufacturer, we’re checking whether the original installer followed those requirements, because a manufacturer’s warranty is only as good as the installation. Whether you have those brands or any other make, we can inspect it and tell you honestly what condition it’s in.

- Granules in your gutters. If you’re finding what looks like coarse sand in your downspouts, your shingles are shedding their protective layer. In West Palm Beach’s sun, that roof is aging faster than it should, and the next step is usually a leak.
- A ceiling stain that wasn’t there last month. Water travels, and a stain on your living room ceiling may have entered the roof twenty feet away. Don’t wait for it to spread; the longer water sits in your decking, the more expensive the repair.
- Flashing that looks pulled away from the chimney or vents. Flashing is the metal that seals the joints where your roof meets anything vertical, and when it lifts, water gets in. This is one of the most common sources of roof leaks in West Palm Beach homes.
- Daylight visible in your attic. Go up there on a bright day with the lights off. If you can see light coming through the roof deck, water can get through the same gaps. That’s a structural issue, not a cosmetic one.
- Neighbors are getting theirs replaced. If you live in a West Palm Beach neighborhood where homes were built around the same time, and two or three of them have replaced roofs in the past year, yours is probably due. Roofs on the same street age at the same rate.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
You call and we answer. A live person picks up at (728) 203-3066, day or night. We take your information, answer your questions, and schedule a time that works for you. No automated system, no “press 1 for service.”
- 2
A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives on time. We show up inside the promised window, and you’ll know who’s on your property because they’re in a Brennan Roofing uniform with identification. Travis Oakley holds every tech to the Garrison Code, which means clean boots, no shortcuts, and respect for your property.
- 3
A full inspection, documented as we go. We walk the surface, check the attic, and photograph everything we find. You don’t have to take our word for any of it; the photos are part of what you get. We check flashing, decking, underlayment, drip edge, and every penetration.
- 4
You get a written report and a plain-English explanation. No jargon, no scare tactics. We tell you what’s wrong, what needs attention now, what can wait, and what it costs. The price goes on paper before any work starts.
- 5
The 365-Day Done Right Promise kicks in. If you hire us for repairs or replacement, every job is guaranteed in writing for a full year. If something fails within that period, we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s not a sales pitch; it’s the standard.
How Much Does Roof Inspection Cost in West Palm Beach?
A standard roof inspection in West Palm Beach runs $150 to $400 for a single-family home. If your roof is tile, add a little more because tile inspection takes longer and requires more care to walk without cracking anything. A commercial flat roof inspection runs $300 to $800 depending on size. Hail-specific inspections fall in the $150 to $400 range. And if you’re getting an inspection as part of a roof estimate, the inspection is free.
What affects the price is mostly roof size and roof type. A two-story home with a steep pitch costs more to inspect than a single-story ranch, because it takes longer and requires more safety equipment. Tile roofs cost more than shingle roofs for the same reason. About 10% of the inspections we do in West Palm Beach turn up nothing worth repairing, and we’ll tell you that flat out. The other 90% give you a clear picture of what to budget for.
The way to avoid overpaying is to get the price in writing before the inspector arrives. That’s a Brennan Roofing rule, not a courtesy. And when you call us, the estimate is free and the inspection price is locked before we show up. Call (728) 203-3066 for an exact quote.
