What Information Does a Roofer Need Before the First Visit?

A first roofing conversation is more useful when the professional knows what you observed, what you want evaluated, and what access or solar context may be involved.

Describe what prompted the request

Share whether this is a leak, repair, inspection, replacement, skylight concern, or new roof. If there is interior damage, describe the room and visible condition.

Share roof and property context

If known, include the roof type, approximate age, number of stories, solar status, and access. If unknown, choose Not sure rather than guessing.

Stay safe while documenting

Take photos from the ground or inside the home. Do not climb onto the roof or enter unsafe areas to collect project information. The professional handles the evaluation directly.

Quick checklist

  • Reason for the request
  • Roof type and approximate age if known
