Why West Des Moines Homeowners Schedule Roof Inspections
The calls we get tell a familiar story. A water stain appears on the ceiling. Shingles turn up in the yard after a weekend storm. Neighbors are having roof work done, and you’re wondering if your home is next. Or you’re weeks away from closing and need to know exactly what you’re working with. Any of these is a good reason to schedule a roof inspection in West Des Moines.
Central Iowa weather is hard on roofing systems. Hail, high winds, heavy snow, and the freeze-thaw cycles that return every winter all stress flashing, ridge areas, and shingle surfaces. A minor problem left unaddressed can progress to damaged decking, mold in the attic, ruined insulation, and interior repairs that can cost far more than a timely fix on the roof.
The Mighty Dog Property Inspection: What We Cover
When you schedule with us, we confirm a time that works for you, arrive when we say we will, and start with a quick conversation about what you’ve noticed. If you’d like, you can walk the property with the inspector and point out specific concerns. From there, we move through the roof and key exterior areas methodically, documenting findings with notes and clear photos as we go.
What Our Team Reviews During Every Inspection
During the Mighty Dog Property Inspection, our team reviews:
- Roof covering for missing, cracked, curled, or loose shingles
- Granule loss that signals hail damage or advanced aging
- Flashing around chimneys, skylights, walls, and vent pipes
- Step and counter flashing at roof-to-wall transitions
- Drip edges along eaves and rakes
- Exposed nails and nail pops that allow water infiltration
- Roof valleys where water is naturally directed
- Ridge and hip areas stressed by wind
- Soffits and fascia for moisture or rot
- Attic ventilation components that affect both roof life and indoor comfort
- Gutters and downspouts for clogs, separation, or improper drainage
- Skylights and nearby siding, where leaks sometimes appear first
- Windows, fencing, and A/C unit for storm-related impact or wear
What Happens After the Inspection
Once the field work is done, we sit down and go over everything with you. We explain what looks solid, where we see wear worth watching, and any areas that need roof repair or replacement. You leave with a clear summary and photo documentation you can use for insurance conversations or future contractor discussions. Any work our team completes is backed by a five-year workmanship warranty.
Drone Roof Inspection in West Des Moines
For steep roofs, multi-story homes, and surfaces that appear fragile or heavily worn, we bring in a drone. A trained team member performs a controlled flight that captures high-resolution photos and video of shingles, valleys, ridge lines, and hard-to-reach sections a ground-level look can miss. The result is more complete coverage of the roof surface and a detailed visual record you can review with us. Walkable surfaces are assessed on foot when that’s the safer and more practical approach.
Drone imagery is especially valuable after a hail or wind event. Aerial photos can reveal granule loss patterns and impact marks that are difficult to spot from the ground, and time-stamped images provide helpful documentation when you’re discussing pre-repair condition with your insurer. After the flight, we review every image with you in plain language. No jargon, no guesswork, just a clear picture of what’s happening above your head.
