What We Look at During a Roof Inspection
A thorough inspection covers every component that affects how your roof performs and how long it lasts. We don’t limit our assessment to what’s visible from the ground.
Shingles, Flashing, & Decking
We examine shingles for cracking, curling, and granule loss, all common signs of storm damage or age-related wear. Flashing at chimneys, skylights, and valleys is checked for separation or deterioration that can let water in. We also assess roof decking for soft spots or structural compromise beneath the surface.
Ventilation & Drainage
Poor attic ventilation can shorten a roof’s service life from the inside out. We inspect ridge vents, soffit vents, and drainage components to confirm they’re functioning correctly. On metal roofs, we also check seam and fastener integrity, since those failure points differ from what we look for on asphalt shingle systems.
Every inspection concludes with a clear assessment of the roof’s remaining service life and a prioritized list of any repairs we find.
Credentials That Back Every Inspection
Our BBB accreditation carries an A+ rating, and our membership in the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) reflects a commitment to industry standards that goes beyond the minimum. These aren’t marketing designations. They represent continuing accountability to a professional standard.
The same attention to detail we bring to full roof replacements applies to every inspection we perform. We’re here to give you accurate information and let you make an informed decision.

“Don Kennedy's roofing inspector advised us of the work to correct the roof and flashing.”Glen M.
The workers did a great job.
"My home's builder used the roof of our screened back porch as a landing for a ladder to finish above the porch leaving small holes in several shingles. In addition, the flashing around a roof area and the fireplace chimney had been installed incorrectly. Don Kennedy roofing inspector (several years experience) advised us of the work to correct the roof and flashing. The workers did a great job."- Glen M. -

"We had an issue with our stove exhaust vent that was installed along with our new roof so we called Don Kennedy roofing to let them know and within days they had one of their techs Robert Phillips come out and install the right vent that solved the problem. Robert did a fast efficient job and very courteous. Highly recommend Don Kennedy roofing!"- Fay H. -
“He did an excellent job showing and explaining the problems that caused the leak after a thorough inspection.”Ron S.
They took the time to explain what they were going to do
"- Ron S.My experience with Don Kennedy Roofing began when Ethan Burke did an inspection of our roof after we had a water leak in our ceiling after a hard rain. He did an excellent job showing and explaining the problems that caused the leak after a thorough inspection. He took all the time I needed to understand what the problem was and what would be needed to fix that problem. He then pointed out some other issues that could be a future problem. He also made sure we had a good idea of what needed to be done now and what could be done in a second step later.
After we agreed, the technicians who came out to fix the problem were polite and considerate. They took the time to explain what they were going to do and got their work done in a timely manner. When the repair was done they let me know and they had cleaned up all debris in the areas where they worked. I would highly recommend Don Kennedy Roofing for roof repairs or a new roof if needed.

“I have spoken positively about our experience to a couple other friends and neighbors needing a great roofing company.”James P.
We had a top notch crew who swarmed our roof
"We had some hail damage from a storm in May 2025 and received some money from our insurance company. We worked with Shane Taylor for a more comprehensive roof and gutter/guard replacement rather than just what the insurance check would provide. We had at least 15 contractors knock on our door with an important distinction in that Don Kennedy was not a storm chaser. I contacted them. We had a top notch crew who swarmed our roof and our project manager Joe was a great communicator and took ownership with a couple bumps we experienced. To be expected in a major project like this and they rose to the occasion. Excellent work and result. I have spoken positively about our experience to a couple other friends and neighbors needing a great roofing company. Thanks."- James P. -
