Free Roof Inspection in Kirkwood, MO

After a hailstorm rolls through Kirkwood, you’re left wondering whether your roof took a hit — and whether that dented gutter is the only clue or just the visible tip of a bigger problem. A free roof inspection from Top Quality Exteriors gives you a documented answer before minor granule loss or a cracked pipe boot turns into interior water damage and drywall repair bills. Our licensed team climbs every plane, photographs each finding, and hands you a written report you can share with your insurance adjuster or file for the next storm.

Kirkwood’s mix of steep-pitch Victorians in the historic districts and low-slope mid-century ranches in Craigwoods and Greentree means no two inspections look the same. We check step flashing, valley metal, ridge caps, pipe boots, drip edge, and attic decking on every job, then rank findings by urgency so you can prioritize a targeted roof repair in Kirkwood or plan a full tear-off with confidence and a real budget in hand for the season. Same-day scheduling is available through our office line at (314) 618-8888.

What Our Roof Inspection Covers

  • 21-point visual and drone survey of every roof plane and slope
  • Flashing, valley, ridge, boot, and fascia condition documentation
  • Written report with dated photos for your file or insurance claim

Post-Storm Inspections Done Right

The May 26, 2024 outbreak dropped roughly one-inch hail on Kirkwood and drove wind gusts across the region, and homeowners north of Manchester Road are still finding fractured mats and bruised shingles a year later. Our inspectors walk the fields, hips, and ridges to check granule loss, mat exposure, and cracked sealant strips — the exact damage patterns adjusters look for when writing an Xactimate scope. St. Louis sits in one of the most active hail corridors in the country, with the metro averaging three to five significant hail events per year, so a documented baseline is worth more than any verbal estimate. We also inspect the attic for daylight, deck staining, and popped nails that hint at underlayment failure. If we find damage, Missouri gives you 12 months on most policies to file a claim, and state statute lets your residential roofing in Kirkwood contractor attend the adjuster’s on-site meeting. Our team joins that walk to make sure the scope reflects what we photographed on the roof.

Our 5-Step Inspection Process

Every inspection follows the same repeatable sequence, whether you’re calling us for a pre-purchase check on a Meramec Highlands Foursquare or a post-hail survey on a Craigwoods ranch. Here is what to expect from booking to the final report.

Schedule Visit

Call our office at (314) 618-8888 or book online for a same-day slot. We confirm your address, roof pitch, and storm history. Most Kirkwood visits lock in inside a business day.

Full Roof Scan

Our inspector walks each accessible slope and checks flashing at chimneys and sidewalls. Drones are used on steep slate roofs. Every finding is captured with a timestamped photo.

Attic Deck Check

We head inside to inspect the attic for daylight, staining, and popped nails. Decking softness, mold, and rust marks all get logged. This view catches leaks the roof surface hides.

Written Report

You receive a written report inside 24 hours with dated photos and ranked findings. The document is formatted for adjusters and title agents. Every claim gets a defensible file.

Review Findings

We walk you through each item, priority, and cost by phone or on-site. You decide what to fix now, later, or file with insurance. No pressure and no obligation to hire us for it.

Why Kirkwood Trusts Our Inspectors

Kirkwood homes come in every shape — 1880s Victorians with turrets and original slate, 1920s Craftsman bungalows with wood lap siding, and 1950s ranches with wide eaves and low-slope garages on the back. Our inspectors have walked all three styles in a single afternoon, so we know where granule loss shows up first on a west-facing slope and why a shaded Jefferson-Argonne valley grows moss before the rest of the plane ever does.

Top Quality Exteriors is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, and a James Hardie Alliance Program Member. Founded in 2022 and backed by 7+ years of industry experience, our 52+ team members carry general liability and workers’ compensation on every job. When our inspector shows up in a lettered truck at your Meramec Highlands or Greentree address, the report you receive holds up in front of any adjuster or buyer’s agent.

Roof Inspection Cost in Kirkwood

Our standard visual and drone roof inspection is free — no fee, no obligation, and no high-pressure upsell when the inspector wraps up on your driveway. If you request add-ons like an infrared attic scan or a formal 21-point pre-purchase certification for a title closing, those services are quoted in writing before the crew arrives so you never see a surprise line item later. Most Kirkwood single-family homes finish a free inspection in under one hour on site.

When findings do point to work, we quote the repair or tear-off at the same visit or within 24 hours by email so you can compare on paper. Typical Kirkwood repair invoices run a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on flashing and valley scope, while a full roof replacement in Kirkwood ranges wider based on pitch, decking condition, and material choice. Every quote arrives in writing with itemized labor, materials, and warranty terms attached.
