PROFESSIONAL ROOF
INSPECTIONS
A roof inspection gives you a clear understanding of your roof before you commit to repairs, restoration, or replacement. Modern Roof Systems provides professional roof inspection services for homes and commercial properties throughout the Chicagoland area. Whether you are checking on an aging roof, looking at storm-related concerns, or planning ahead for maintenance, our team helps you see what condition your roof is really in.
During the inspection, we look at the areas that affect the performance of your roofing system, including roof surfaces, flashing, drainage, vents, skylights, gutters, roof edges, and other vulnerable points. For commercial roofs, we also check for concerns such as membrane wear, ponding water, seam issues, and damage around rooftop equipment. For residential roofs, we look for signs of wear, lifted shingles, ventilation concerns, and areas where water may be able to enter.
After the inspection, we explain what we found in plain language and help you understand your options. If your roof is in good shape, we will tell you. If there are issues that need attention, we will help you decide whether maintenance, roof repair, storm restoration, or roof replacement makes the most sense. Schedule your free roof inspection today and get a better understanding of your roof’s condition.

Roof Inspection FAQs
How do I know if I need a roof inspection?
You should schedule a roof inspection if you notice leaks, missing shingles, storm damage, damaged flashing, gutter problems, or visible wear. A professional inspection can help identify issues before they become larger roofing problems.
Do you inspect both residential and commercial roofs?
Can a roof inspection help after storm damage?
Yes. A storm damage roof inspection can help identify visible damage from wind, hail, heavy rain, or fallen debris. This helps you understand whether repair, restoration, or replacement may be needed.
What areas of the roof do you inspect?
We look at key parts of the roofing system, including shingles or membrane, flashing, vents, skylights, pipe boots, gutters, drainage areas, and other areas where leaks or wear commonly develop.
