To get started, open up our printable roof inspection form template in our PDF editor and follow these steps.
1. Inspection and Property Basics
Pop in the date of the inspection and the name of the inspector at the top of the form. Then fill in some basic info about the property - building type, address, how the property is being used, and when the roof was put on.
2. Owner, Manager, and Contractor Info
Put in the contact information for the person who lives in or owns the place, followed by the name of the roofing contractor's company, who they can contact, and where they're based.
3. Past Roof Work
In this section, describe any previous roof work that's been done - including dates and who did it.
Answer a few yes-or-no questions about past inspections, roof guarantees, any changes to how the building is being used, leaks, and emergency repairs.
4. Condition Ratings
Before you start inspecting, take a look at the condition codes and try to use them consistently throughout the form:
- G - The roof is in great shape, no action needed.
- F - The roof is okay, but needs to be kept an eye on over time.
- P - The roof is in pretty rough shape, and action is needed right away.
Each item only gets one rating.
5. Interior and Exterior Building Elements
Take a look at the interior areas like roof decks and walls, then move on to the exterior walls, flashings, drains, and downspouts.
For each item, mark the condition rating, note the location, and jot down any actions taken.
6. Penetrations and Roof Surfaces
Take a look at any roof penetrations, conduit or piping, and the roof membranes or shingles themselves. Look for things like cracking, punctures, corrosion, standing water, or surface damage, and make a note of them.
7. Other Items and Damage Checks
Go through and check any other items that might be relevant - like antennas, overgrowth, soft spots, vandalism, or any weather-related damage.
8. Attach Photos
Indicate whether you took any photos or videos during the inspection. Store those images with the completed form, so they're easy to find later for maintenance planning, insurance claims, or any potential disputes.
Once you've done all eight steps, you can save and share your report using this free printable roof inspection form in PDF.
