Looking for a roof inspector near you in the Pittsburgh area? Bella Construction performs free, no obligation roof inspections across Westmoreland County and greater Pittsburgh, and we have since 1995. A proper inspection takes 30 to 60 minutes, covers 20 plus points from shingles to attic ventilation, and ends with photos and a straight answer about what your roof actually needs, which is often nothing.
What a real roof inspection covers
We walk the roof when it is safe, not just the yard. The inspection covers shingle condition and granule loss, flashing at every chimney, valley, and wall, vent boots and penetrations, ridge and soffit ventilation, gutters and drainage, visible decking from the attic, and signs of moisture or past leaks inside. You get photos of everything we find, good and bad.
What a roof inspection costs
Ours are free. Some companies charge $150 to $400 for standalone inspections, and paid inspections make sense for real estate transactions where a formal report is required. For a homeowner who wants to know the condition of their roof, a free inspection from an established local contractor answers the question without the fee. What matters is who does it: a licensed, insured local company with a reputation to protect, not a storm chaser using a free inspection as a foot in the door.
When to get your roof inspected
After any major wind or hail event, before buying or selling a home, when you see stains on interior ceilings, and once your roof passes 15 years old even without symptoms. In our freeze and thaw climate, catching flashing or ventilation problems a season early routinely saves thousands. If damage from a storm turns up, we document everything for your insurance claim and can meet the adjuster on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof inspection cost near me?
Bella Construction roof inspections are free across the Pittsburgh area with no obligation. Companies that charge typically run $150 to $400, which makes sense mainly for formal real estate inspection reports.
How long does a roof inspection take?
A thorough inspection takes 30 to 60 minutes, covering the roof surface, flashing, penetrations, ventilation, gutters, and attic. You get photos and a written summary of what we find.
Should I get my roof inspected after a storm?
Yes, after any significant wind or hail event, even if nothing looks wrong from the ground. Storm damage is often invisible from the yard, and documented inspection findings are the foundation of a successful insurance claim.
Can I trust a free roof inspection?
From an established local contractor, yes. The red flag is not the free inspection, it is who offers it. Check for a Pennsylvania license, a local address with history, and years of local reviews before letting anyone on your roof.
