Who should get one
- Anyone who doesn't know when the roof was last coated
- Buyers and sellers of a home with a flat roof
- Homeowners after a hailstorm or a big wind event
- Anyone planning solar, a new cooler or a refrigerated air unit on the roof
What we look at
| Area | What we check |
|---|---|
| Coating | Thickness, chalking, cracks, bubbles, peeling, wear from sand |
| Foam | Soft or wet areas, erosion, hail and bird damage |
| Drainage | Ponding marks, low spots, clogged or cracked canales |
| Parapets | Cracked caps, open corners, stucco stains |
| Openings | Coolers, skylights, vents, mounts and solar feet |
| Inside | Ceiling stains and any accessible attic space |
What you get
Photos of what we saw, an honest read on how much life is left in the coating, and written options — repair, recoat, re-foam, or nothing for now. Sometimes the right answer is "check it again next spring," and we'll say so.
Buying in Rio Rancho
A general home inspector may not walk a flat roof. Finding a worn coat or a parapet leak before closing gives you room to negotiate. Ask for a written summary when you call.

Common questions
What does an inspection cost?
Estimates for work are free. Ask about a written report for a real estate deal when you call.
How long does it take?
Usually under an hour on a typical house.
Can you tell how old my coating is?
Not exactly, but wear, chalking and thickness tell us roughly where it is in its life.
