THE SHORT ANSWER
How to Estimate Roof Inspection Cost
A single-story asphalt roof with a standard report and 3 labor hours at $75 totals about $425.
Base by roof type
Asphalt is the cheapest to inspect; metal and tile take more time and care. Set the base by roof type and material risk.
- Roof type
- Stories
- Roof age
- Report detail
Stories add access cost
Each additional story makes the roof harder to reach and more dangerous. Add an access charge per story.
Age raises the scope
An older roof needs closer inspection of wear, granule loss and flashing. Factor age into the effort.
Detailed reports cost more
A standard report lists findings; a detailed one adds photos and measurements. Quote the report level in the estimate.
