Evaluate the metal roof
Metal Roof Inspection
Findings first: leaks, panels, and next steps
A metal roof inspection is an evaluation of an existing or proposed metal system: leaks, panels, fasteners, seams, flashing, penetrations, drainage, and whether repair or replacement is the honest next step. It is not a generic whole-house inspection and not a sales visit disguised as a look from the curb.

Who it is for
Who should request an inspection
Owners with an existing metal roof and a leak, stain, storm concern, or a “how much life is left?” question. Also owners considering metal who need the current covering evaluated before a replacement quote. Buyers and sellers who want a roofing-focused look rather than a brief note on a general home inspection.
Problems and intent
What the inspection is looking for
- Active or intermittent leaks
- Corrosion or finish wear in exposed areas
- Damaged, displaced, or dented panels
- Fastener and washer condition on exposed-fastener systems
- Seam integrity on standing seam
- Flashing at walls, chimneys, and edges
- Penetrations at vents, pipes, and equipment
- Drainage that loads water against details
- Storm or impact damage
How the inspection is done
PRC 13 inspects the metal roof system and explains findings without pressure. When attic access exists, deck staining and ventilation clues are part of the picture. You receive a written inspection report documenting condition.
This is a roofing-focused assessment. It is not an insurance adjuster visit and not a general home inspection that only glances at the roof.
Repair vs replacement assessment
The useful output is a recommendation you can act on: a focused metal repair, a replacement conversation, or no work if the roof is sound. We would rather send you away with a clean report than recommend work the roof does not need.
If the roof is not metal yet, the inspection still informs whether a metal replacement is timely or whether the current covering has remaining life.
Storm damage documentation
After wind or hail, inspection records what is visible on the metal system. We can document conditions and work with an adjuster when storm damage is involved. Documenting damage is not a guarantee that an insurer will approve a claim.
What inspection does not include
We do not offer metal roof cleaning or laboratory corrosion testing. We do not claim same-day reports as a guarantee; we aim to schedule inspections quickly during Monday–Friday business hours.
How it works
From request to written findings
Request
Form or phone. Note if water is active so we can prioritize.
On-site metal evaluation
Panels, seams, fasteners, flashings, penetrations, drainage, attic clues when accessible.
Written findings
Condition documented. Repair, replacement, or no-work recommendation explained.
Your decision
No obligation. If you authorize work, it is quoted separately from the inspection itself.
Inspection vs jumping straight to repair
Inspect when you need the cause named. Repair when the cause is already a known metal detail and you are ready to authorize that scope. Replacement still starts with condition—inspection is how that condition is established.

Straight Answers

What does a metal roof inspection decide?
It documents metal roof condition and whether the honest next step is repair, replacement, or no work.
Is a metal roof inspection different from a generic roof inspection URL on this site?
Yes. This page is the metal roof inspection hire path. The old generic /roof-inspection URL redirects here and is not a separate page.

No. A general home inspection covers many systems. This is a roofing-focused assessment of the metal roof for leaks, condition, and repair-versus-replacement guidance.
Yes. Visible water indoors does not always match the metal detail that failed. Inspection traces the path before repair is quoted.
No. If a repair is enough, we recommend the repair. If no work is needed, we say that too.
