Homeowner Service Guide
Not sure what you need? Spike can help.
You do not have to diagnose your roof before calling HRI. Answer a few simple questions and Spike will help point you toward the right starting place.
Spike is your guide. HRI provides the professional inspection.Question 1 of 3
What brings you here?
Choose the answer that sounds closest to your situation.
Question 2 of 3
Tell me a little more.
This helps separate a general inspection from an active problem or known scope of work.
Question 3 of 3
What would help you most?
Choose the result that best matches what you want from the appointment.
Inspection = understanding observable roof conditions. Active roof issue = understanding a specific concern. Estimate = pricing work that is already defined.
Still not sure?Tell HRI what you're seeing and we'll help you decide where to start.

What brings you to HRI?
Choose the path that sounds most like your situation. If you're unsure, Spike's guide above can help.
I'm not sure
Answer a few simple questions and let Spike help you choose a starting point.
HELP ME CHOOSE →Something is wrong
You have a leak, stain, damage, or another concern and want to understand the issue.
ROOF PROBLEM GUIDANCE →I know the work
You already have a defined repair scope and are primarily looking for pricing.
REQUEST A REPAIR ESTIMATE →I'm buying or selling
You need clear roof information for a real estate decision.
BOOK A ROOF INSPECTION →
Spike's rule of thumb: You don't need to know the roofing answer before you call. Just tell HRI what you're seeing.
Active roof problem
Something is wrong. What should you book?
If water is getting in, a stain keeps returning, or visible damage has you concerned, the first question is usually not “What will it cost?” It is “What is causing the problem?”
✓Active leak or water intrusion: start with an evaluation of the issue.
✓Visible damage but unknown cause: get the condition understood before pricing a repair.
✓Known repair scope: an estimate may be the appropriate next step.
A simple distinction
Inspection ≠ Estimate
An inspection helps you understand observable roof conditions.
An active issue evaluation focuses on understanding a specific problem.
An estimate focuses on pricing work that is already defined.
What to expect
A simple process.
The goal is useful information—not a complicated roofing experience.
We inspect
HRI evaluates accessible roof areas and relevant visible conditions.
We explain
We explain what we observed in straightforward language.
You decide
Use the information to determine what, if anything, you want to do next.
Roof red flags
Have you noticed any of these?
You do not need to know what the problem is called. If something looks or feels different, tell us what you are seeing.
Water stainsCeiling or wall staining that may be related to roof water intrusion.
Recurring leaksA leak that returns after rain or after a previous repair.
Visible damageMissing, cracked, displaced, or deteriorated roofing materials.
Flashing concernsProblems around chimneys, walls, skylights, vents, or other penetrations.
Age or deteriorationYou are unsure how much useful life remains in the existing roof.
Something just looks wrongYou cannot explain it, but you want a professional look.
A question we hear often
Does my roof really need to be replaced?
Not every roofing problem means you need a new roof. Age, wear, isolated damage, recurring problems, previous repairs, and overall condition can all matter.
HRI's approach is to understand the existing roof first. If repair can reasonably address the issue, that can be discussed. If the condition suggests broader work, the findings can help you understand why.
START WITH THE RIGHT APPOINTMENT →Inspection first
Know what you're looking at.
✓Existing-roof condition and visible wear
✓Flashing, drainage and penetrations
✓Visible repairs and workmanship
✓Maintenance and repair concerns that may deserve attention
If a repair is appropriate, we can discuss an estimate. We do not generally approach an inspection as a full-replacement opportunity.
When repair is needed
Repair first when repair can solve the problem.
A full replacement may be appropriate for some roofs, but it is not the starting assumption. The condition of the existing roof should drive the recommendation.
