Why Choose Meridian for Your Roof Inspection

Five reasons St. Louis homeowners trust us to inspect their roofs accurately and fairly.

Free Inspections - No Hidden Charges

We don’t charge for inspections, period. You get a complete assessment and detailed report at no cost, so you can make informed decisions without surprise invoices or sales pressure.

Drone Technology for Full Coverage

Our drone inspections capture high-resolution images of every section, including peaks and valleys that are risky to access manually. Nothing gets missed and you see exactly what we see.

GAF Certified & Fully Licensed

Our inspectors hold GAF Certification, the roofing industry’s highest standard. We’re licensed and insured in Missouri, so your home is protected and you’re working with verified professionals.

Detailed Reports You Understand

Your inspection report isn’t technical jargon. We document findings with photos, drone imagery, and clear explanations. Whether you need it for insurance, a home sale, or your own planning, you’ll have everything required.

Storm Damage Specialists

St. Louis storms are unpredictable and damaging. We’ve inspected hundreds of roofs after hail, wind, and heavy rain. We know exactly what to look for and can help you document damage for insurance claims.

What Our Roof Inspection Includes

Our inspection process is comprehensive because roof failures don’t happen in isolation. A small flashing problem can lead to interior water damage; a missing shingle can expose the underlayment to weather. We examine every component so you get a complete picture of your roof’s condition and lifespan.

Shingles & Roof Surface - wear, curling, cracking, granule loss
Flashing & Seals - chimney, vents, valleys, penetrations
Gutters & Downspouts - clogging, sagging, water flow
Roof Vents & Penetrations - gaps, damage, sealing
Chimney & Masonry - mortar, brick, cap sealing
Attic & Interior - water stains, mold, ventilation, insulation
Structural Integrity - sagging, rot, decking condition
Estimated Remaining Roof Life - planning & budgeting data

When Should You Schedule a Roof Inspection

Roof problems rarely announce themselves until they’re catastrophic. Heading into the 2026 storm season, regular inspections catch issues early when fixes are simple and affordable. If your roof is approaching 10 years old, or if you’re considering a roof replacement, an inspection gives you the data to plan smart.

What Does a Roof Inspection Cost in St. Louis?

Most St. Louis roofing companies charge between $150 and $400 for a standard roof inspection in 2026. The price depends on roof size, complexity, and whether the inspector uses drone technology or manual-only methods. Some companies offer free inspections but bundle the cost into repair or replacement quotes, adding hidden markup.

Meridian provides completely free roof inspections with no hidden fees and no obligation. We use drone technology on every inspection, deliver a written report within 24 hours, and never pressure you into a sale. If your roof is in good shape, we tell you.

Roof Inspection Questions Answered

How often should I have my roof inspected?

Most homeowners benefit from annual inspections, especially in St. Louis where storms and weather variations are common. After major storms, immediate inspection is critical. If your roof is 10+ years old, annual checks help you plan replacement timing. Between inspections, watch for visible damage like curling shingles, missing granules, or sagging gutters - all reasons to call for an unscheduled inspection.

How much does a roof inspection cost?

Meridian roof inspections are completely free. You receive a thorough visual and drone assessment with a detailed written report at no charge and no obligation. We believe homeowners should never pay for inspection alone - it is the foundation for informed decisions about roof repair or replacement.

How long does an inspection take?

Most inspections take 1 to 2 hours depending on roof size, complexity, and whether we need interior attic access. A simple single-story home might take 45 minutes; a larger two-story home with multiple roof lines could take 2 hours. We give you a realistic timeframe when we schedule.

What exactly happens during the inspection?

We examine shingles, flashing, gutters, vents, chimneys, and interior attic spaces. We document everything with photos and drone video, note condition grades, estimate remaining roof life, and identify any damage or maintenance needs. You get a written report with all findings, imagery, and clear explanations within 24 hours.

Can an inspection help with an insurance claim?

Yes. Professional inspection documentation is often required by insurance companies for storm damage claims. We provide detailed photos, measurements, and condition assessments that support claim submissions. Many homeowners use our reports to strengthen their claims and maximize settlements.

How do I know if my roof has storm damage?

Visible signs include missing or cracked shingles, bald spots where granules are gone, dented vents, bent gutters, or water stains on interior ceilings and walls. However, storm damage is not always obvious from ground level - hail damage or small punctures can be missed. Drone inspection reveals damage that visual inspection from below would miss.

Should I DIY a roof inspection or hire a professional?

Walking on roofs is genuinely dangerous - missed steps cause serious injuries and death. DIY inspection also misses critical details like internal water damage, structural concerns, and realistic remaining lifespan. Professional inspection costs nothing at Meridian, so there is no reason to risk your safety and miss findings a trained eye would spot.

What are the benefits of drone roof inspection?

Drones safely capture 4K imagery of areas that are dangerous to access manually - peaks, valleys, overhangs, and complex roof lines. You see exactly what we see. Drone footage also documents findings clearly for insurance claims and creates a historical record of your roof's condition over time.
