Let’s be honest: most homeowners hear the words “free roof inspection” and immediately assume there’s a catch.

At Gorilla Exteriors, we get it. You’ve probably seen door-knockers and storm chasers offering “free inspections” that end in a high-pressure sales pitch.

That’s not how we do things.

Our Free Roof Evaluationis a genuine, no-obligation service designed to help homeowners understand the true condition of their roof — before small problems become expensive ones. Here’s exactly what you can expect during an evaluation, and why it’s one of the smartest steps you can take to protect your home (and your wallet).

Step 1: Exterior Roof & Shingle Assessment

We start with a detailed visual inspection of your roof’s surface. Our certified roofing specialists check for:

  • Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
  • Storm damage such as hail impact or wind uplift
  • Rusted flashing or exposed nails
  • Granule loss that signals aging asphalt shingles

Our goal isn’t to sell you something — it’s to document what’s happening right now so you can make an informed decision.

Curious about the process? Here’s what to expect during a professional roof inspection.

Step 2: Attic & Interior Evaluation

Leaks don’t always start where you see them. That’s why our inspectors look for early warning signs inside your attic and ceiling spaces:

  • Water stains or mold growth
  • Sagging insulation
  • Improper ventilation or trapped moisture

Identifying interior damage early helps prevent rot, mildew, and insulation failure — all of which can lead to costly structural repairs down the line.

Step 3: Storm Damage & Insurance Documentation

Living in the Kansas City metro means dealing with hail, high winds, and heavy rain almost every year. During your evaluation, our team:

  • Checks for hidden storm damage that might void your warranty
  • Takes photos and notes to simplify your insurance claim
  • Advises whether a repair or replacement is most cost-effective

We’re not here to push you into a claim — we’re here to equip you with the evidence you’ll need if one becomes necessary.

Step 4: Detailed Findings & Honest Recommendations

After the inspection, you’ll receive a written summary that clearly explains:

  • The overall condition of your roof
  • Any current or potential issues
  • Recommended next steps (if any)

No pressure, no gimmicks. If your roof is in great shape, we’ll tell you that too. And if it needs attention, our Residential Roofing Professionals can walk you through your best options for repair, maintenance, or full replacement.

Step 5: Full Exterior System Check

A roof doesn’t work alone. During your free evaluation, we’ll also take a look at connected exterior components:

  • Gutters and downspouts
  • Siding condition
  • Paint and trim integrity
  • Ventilation and flashing points

Small issues in these areas can cause leaks or reduce roof lifespan.  If we find concerns, we’ll note them and can coordinate service through our trusted exterior divisions for siding, gutters, or painting.

Local Expertise That Matters

Whether you’re in Olathe, Basehor, Leavenworth, or Overland Park, our inspectors understand the unique roofing challenges of Midwest weather.

From freeze-thaw cycles to hail impacts, we’ve seen it all — and we know how to build roofs that stand up to it.

Our evaluations are 100% local, backed by nearly two decades of experience serving Kansas and Missouri homeowners.

Why It’s Actually Worth It

Many homeowners wait until leaks appear before calling a professional — by then, it’s often too late.
A free roof evaluation from Gorilla Exteriors can:

  • Identify damage early (before insurance deadlines expire)
  • Extend the life of your current roof
  • Prevent hidden water intrusion
  • Provide real peace of mind

And because it’s free, there’s literally no downside — just clarity and protection for your most valuable asset.
