A roof inspection in Santa Rosa Valley typically runs $290 – $520 for a single-family home, and a thorough one on custom tile or multi-structure equestrian property can reach $650 – $900.

Call (361) 320-9467 to schedule yours.
We know this valley is not a tract-home market. The homes off Santa Rosa Road, Presilla Road, and Moorpark Road sit on multi-acre lots under mature oaks, with tile roofs, barns, and detached structures that each carry their own inspection history. Travis Oakley runs our crews to one standard here: walk every slope, document every penetration, and tell the homeowner exactly what is failing and what can wait.
Why Brennan Roofing Is Santa Rosa Valley’s Preferred Roof Inspection Company
Our Roof Inspection team operates under The Garrison Standard, which means the same discipline on a $400 inspection as on a $40,000 roof replacement. Every technician who steps onto a Santa Rosa Valley roof is background-checked and in uniform. You know who is on your property before they climb the ladder, and you get a written price before any repair is ordered.
Homeowners here call us after the fact. They had a roofer walk the ridge, say “looks fine,” and hand over a one-page checklist. Then the first rain after a Santa Ana wind event shows water at the fascia. We are the second opinion that finds what the first walk missed, because we check what the tile hides, not just what the eye sees from the ridge line.
Dispatch and scheduling for Santa Rosa Valley are coordinated from our Los Angeles office, but the crews work the valley regularly. Response time to most Santa Rosa Valley properties is same week, and we route inspections along the Santa Rosa Road corridor to keep scheduling tight for homeowners with horse properties and gated entrances.
Every inspection carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If we miss a failure that we should have caught, we come back at no charge and make the repair. That is not a slogan. It is the guarantee Travis Oakley signs on every job.
Roof Inspection Services in Santa Rosa Valley
Roof Inspection Services in Santa Rosa Valley are not a quick walk with binoculars. A proper inspection here means walking every slope, mapping every valley and penetration, checking the underlayment beneath tile, documenting dry rot at fascia and soffit, and auditing the roof for ember-intrusion risk given the valley’s fire hazard zone. A standard single-family inspection runs $290 – $520. Homes with attached barns, detached studios, or multiple roof structures run $650 – $900 because each structure gets its own report.
Full Inspection With Written Report
We photograph everything: decking condition, flashing at chimneys and skylights, drip edge, valley metal, vent screens, and the tile or shingle surface. You get a written report with the photos, an itemized scope of what failed, what is serviceable, and what is approaching end of life. That report is yours, regardless of whether you hire us for the repair.
Post-Wind and Pre-Listing Inspections
After a Santa Ana event, wind-driven debris and uplift leave marks that a casual look misses. We check for lifted shingles, shifted tile, and underlayment exposure at the eaves. For pre-listing inspections, the report gives sellers a defensible roof condition statement that holds up when the buyer’s inspector walks the same roof.

Hail Damage Roof in Santa Rosa Valley
Hail Damage Roof in Santa Rosa Valley is a specific inspection call we handle after the rare but real hail events that push through the Conejo Valley corridor. Hail here hits differently than in the Central Valley. Santa Rosa Valley roofs are mostly concrete tile, and hail does not dent tile the way it bruises composition shingle. The damage is often hidden: fractured tile corners, loosened granules on shingle accents, and compromised underlayment at impact points. A hail-specific inspection runs $290 – $520 for a single structure.
What We Check After a Hail Event
We walk the full roof surface and map impact points, then check the underlayment at every fracture. Concrete tile can crack at the corner and still look intact from the ground, which is why a ladder-level visual from the ridge is not enough. We also check gutters and downspouts for granule loss, a tell for shingle sections that took a beating.
Documentation for Insurance Claims
If you are filing a claim, the report matters. We document impact locations, measure the affected area, and note the material type so your adjuster does not undercount what a Santa Rosa Valley tile roof actually costs to restore. The report is written to hold up to adjuster review.
Trusted Brands We Service in Santa Rosa Valley
We inspect and service roofs built with GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning materials, the three lines we see most on Santa Rosa Valley custom homes and equestrian structures. We keep local stock on common underlayment, vent screens, and flashing profiles for these systems, which shortens the time between inspection and repair. If your roof was built with a specific tile profile or shingle line, we match it rather than patch it with whatever is on the truck, and every material choice goes in writing before we order.
Common Roof Inspection Problems We See in Santa Rosa Valley Homes
- Deteriorated underlayment under 1980s – 2000s concrete tile. The tile looks fine from the ground, but the felt or synthetic underlayment beneath it is failing. In the valley’s hot, dry summers, underlayment bakes and breaks down, and it is the actual waterproofing layer on a tile roof.
- Unscreened vents and ember-intrusion risk. After the Woolsey Fire, many homeowners here learned that unscreened vents were a primary ignition point. We flag every unscreened or degraded vent on every inspection, and recommend ember-resistant retrofits as standard.
- Moss and debris accumulation under oak canopy. Mature oaks shade roofs, hold moisture, and drop debris into valleys and gutters. That shade creates chronic dry rot at fascia and soffit, and moss on tile is a slip hazard as well as a moisture trap.
- Wind-uplift damage at eaves and ridges after Santa Anas. Seasonal winds push on tile and shingle edges here. We find lifted tile courses, loosened ridge caps, and exposed underlayment at the eaves after strong wind events, and the fix is usually cheaper when caught early.

FAQs About Roof Inspection in Santa Rosa Valley
A general home inspector looks at the roof as one line item among dozens. Our inspection is roof-specific and walks every slope, valley, and penetration, with a focus on the failure modes this valley actually produces: underlayment deterioration under tile, unscreened vents that are an ember risk in a high fire hazard zone, and dry rot at fascia from oak shade. We document the condition of the decking and the waterproofing layer, not just the surface.
No. We can often assess underlayment condition at the eaves, at broken tile points, and at penetrations without a full tear-off, and we document what we can see and what remains unknown. That said, on 1990s tile roofs in this valley, the underlayment is frequently the actual failure point, and if we cannot confirm its condition we will tell you honestly rather than guess. Call (361) 320-9467 and we will walk it with you and show you the photos.
Yes. Santa Rosa Valley sits in a very high fire hazard severity zone, and the Woolsey Fire’s path through this valley rewrote what a roof inspection has to cover. We check every vent for screening, flag any non-Class A detail, and look for the conditions that burned through here in 2018. A roof that is waterproof but not ember-resistant is a real liability in this valley, and our report reflects that.
Ask what wind rating the shingle carries and whether it is installed to that rating. Santa Ana winds put real uplift pressure on eaves and ridges here, and a shingle rated for 110 mph that is nailed wrong will fail well below that. We check nail patterns and edge details during the inspection, because wind performance is an installation detail as much as a material spec.
On custom homes with architectural tile, specialty flashing, or ember-resistant vent retrofits, material lead times often run 2 – 6 weeks, and that timeline starts only after the exact scope is written. The inspection establishes the scope; then we order materials against a fixed written price. That is why we recommend scheduling the inspection earlier than you think you need it, so the material clock starts running before the leak or the fire-season deadline becomes urgent. Call (361) 320-9467 to get on the schedule now.
