Something looks or feels different.
A stain on the ceiling, a shingle that caught your eye, or a gutter full of granules. Anything that makes you think you should probably get that looked at is reason enough.

Roof Inspections
Not sure what's going on with your roof? That's exactly what an inspection is for.
Oxford inspects your full roof, documents what we find, and gives you a clear picture of its condition, so the next decision, whatever it is, is based on something real. Whether you're seeing a problem, preparing for a sale, or just haven't had the roof looked at in a few years, the inspection is where it starts.

When to Get Your Roof Inspected
You don't need to see obvious damage to schedule an inspection. Here are the most common reasons Oxford gets called out.
02
You're thinking about repair or replacement and want an honest starting point.
An inspection gives you a documented picture of the roof before any work is proposed, so you know the recommendation is based on what's actually there.
03
You're buying or selling a home.
A roofing inspection is one of the most useful due-diligence steps in a real estate transaction for both sides. Oxford documents the current condition so there are no surprises after closing.
04
You just want to know where you stand.
A lot of homeowners schedule an inspection simply because the roof is getting older and they'd rather know what's coming than be caught off guard by it.
Oxford's inspection approach
How Oxford Conducts an Inspection
01
We start with the full picture.
Roof geometry, reported concerns, and visible conditions from every accessible angle. We look at the whole system before focusing on specific areas.
02
We document what we find, organized by area.
Every surface, edge, transition, penetration, and adjoining component gets reviewed and recorded. You get a clear picture of where your roof stands, section by section.
03
We tell you what we found before we tell you what to do about it.
The inspection record and any proposed work are kept separate, so you can see what the roof actually looks like and make a decision from there, not from a contractor's recommendation alone.
What the inspection covers
What Oxford Looks At
A standard Oxford inspection covers the following, documented in writing with photographs for each area:
- 01Your property context and anything specific you've noticed or reported
- 02All accessible roof surfaces, including every plane, slope, and visible section
- 03Edges, penetrations, and transitions, including gutters, drip edge, chimneys, vents, skylights, and roof-to-wall connections
- 04Adjoining components that affect the roof's overall performance
- 05Observed conditions documented by location, so the record is specific, not general
- 06A written inspection record with condition photography
The inspection process
How It Works
A straightforward four-step process from the initial call to a clear picture of your roof's condition.
01
Schedule
Call or request an inspection online. We'll confirm a time that works for you and explain anything we need before the visit.
02
Inspect
Oxford gets on the roof and goes through it systematically, including every accessible section, transition, and detail that could affect how the roof is performing.
03
Document
We photograph and record what we find, organized by area. You get a clear written record of the roof's condition, not a verbal summary you have to remember.
04
Review Together
We go through what we found with you. If something needs attention, we'll explain what and why. If the roof is in good shape, we'll tell you that too. No pressure either way.

Roof inspection FAQ
Common Questions About Roof Inspections
Oxford inspects all accessible roof surfaces, including every slope, edge, penetration, transition, and adjoining component. We document what we find with photographs and a written record organized by area. You get a clear picture of your roof's current condition, with everything in writing.
A standard inspection covers everything accessible and visible. Conditions that are fully concealed beneath the decking or inside the structure can't always be confirmed without additional evaluation. If Oxford sees anything during the inspection that suggests a hidden issue, we'll flag it and explain what a closer look would involve.
No. The inspection tells you what's there. It doesn't assume what needs to happen next. Some roofs we inspect are in great shape. Some need a repair. Some have reached a point where replacement makes more sense than continued patching. Oxford will tell you which one applies and back it up with what we documented.
Condition photography and a written record of the findings, organized by area. If a repair or replacement is the right next step, we'll follow up with a written proposal based on what the inspection documented. You'll have something in hand, not just a conversation.
Inspection timing depends on the roof's age, materials, condition, and recent weather. If you notice a change or the property has been through a significant storm, schedule an inspection. After reviewing the roof, Oxford can recommend a practical interval based on the property in front of us.
