New Paradigm Projects roof inspection

Why homeowners request an inspection

A roof can look intact from the driveway and still be open at a flashing, thin at the field, or worn after wind or hail. New Paradigm Projects inspects residential and commercial properties across Maryland, Washington D.C. and Northern Virginia so recommendations follow what is actually there.

This is not a remote diagnosis. Photos can help us prepare. They do not replace an on-site evaluation.

Signs that may justify an inspection

  • Missing shingles
  • Roof leaks or dripping during rain
  • Water stains on walls or ceilings
  • Curling or brittle shingles
  • Granule loss in gutters or downspouts
  • Moss or lichen on the surface
  • Visible deterioration or an aging system — including roofs about ten years or older
  • Recent storm exposure, even when damage is hard to see from the ground

When should I have my roof inspected?

After significant weather

Wind, hail, heavy rain or nearby tree damage — even if the interior still looks dry.

When leaks or stains appear

Active dripping, attic moisture or ceiling stains should not wait for the next rain cycle.

When shingles are missing

A bare spot is an opening. It is safer to evaluate than to watch from the ground.

When the roof is aging

Including systems around ten years or older, or any roof with an unknown repair history.

Before buying or maintaining a property

A documented look helps owners and managers plan instead of inheriting surprises.

Before choosing repair or replacement

That decision should follow the roof you have — not a photo or a neighbor’s project.

What an inspection can evaluate

  • Shingles and other visible covering — wear, lift, curl, missing pieces
  • Flashing at walls, chimneys, valleys and penetrations
  • Vents, skylights and other roof openings
  • Drainage, gutters and overflow at the eave where relevant
  • Visible water intrusion and attic clues when access allows
  • Storm-related impact, wind lift and debris damage
  • Aging and remaining useful life of the visible system
  • Vulnerable details that often fail first on DMV roofs
  • Chimney, flashing and gutter integrity where they meet the roof
  • Wind-blown debris and whether it has opened the covering
  • Visible clues of moisture that can relate to mold or pest access — without a medical diagnosis

What a professional look is for

Safety first

Homeowners should not walk a wet or damaged roof. From the ground you can note missing shingles; a specialist looks at the field, edges and details you cannot safely reach.

Small issues grow

Missing pieces, standing water at the eave or failed flashing can lead to larger repairs, interior work and, in some cases, pest or moisture problems in the assembly.

Repair, overlay or replacement

Some roofs can receive a defined repair. Some conversations include whether existing material stays or comes off. That is decided after we see the deck and the current system — not from a rule of thumb on this page.

A timeline, not a scare

When replacement is not immediate, findings can still explain remaining useful life and what to watch. We do not publish a one-number lifespan for every house.

Inspection questions

Should I inspect my own roof?+

Look from the ground or a window. Walking a damaged or wet roof is a safety risk. Request a professional inspection for the field, flashing and penetrations.

Is the inspection a remote diagnosis?+

No. Photos can help us prepare. They do not replace an on-site evaluation.

Do I need to be home?+

It depends on access. The team confirms what is needed when they follow up.

Is there an online price?+

No. Project pricing requires seeing the property.

What should I do after a storm?+

Stay safe, note what you can see from the ground, and request a storm or roof inspection. See Storm Damage for a step-by-step.

Do you inspect commercial roofs?+

Yes. Occupied buildings are evaluated with attention to access, drainage and operations.
