The free inspection checks five things.

You get a photo of each one, whether we find a problem or not.

  1. 1Shingles and granules

    Lifted, cracked or missing shingles, and how much granule is left on the slopes that get the most weather.

  2. 2Flashing

    Chimneys, sidewalls, skylights and vent boots. This is where most Puget Sound leaks start.

  3. 3Valleys, moss and debris

    Needles packed in valleys, moss lifting the edges, gutters that overflow in steady rain.

  4. 4Vents and ridge

    Whether the roof breathes: intake at the eaves, exhaust at the ridge, nothing blocked.

  5. 5The attic

    Daylight through the deck, damp or dark sheathing, nail tips with frost or rust, insulation over the vents.

A roof is five layers, put on in order. Here is each one, what it keeps out, and which warranty stands behind it.

The roof, layer by layer.

Eave Ridge
  1. 1Roof deck

    Sound sheathing for everything above to fasten to. Soft or delaminated boards are replaced, not covered.

    Workmanship warranty, [years] years (slot)

  2. 2Ice and water shield, drip edge

    A self-sealing membrane at the eaves, valleys and around penetrations, where wind drives rain uphill.

    Manufacturer system warranty (slot)

  3. 3Synthetic underlayment

    A second line of defence across the whole deck, lapped so water always runs over the joint, never into it.

    Manufacturer system warranty (slot)

  4. 4Architectural shingles

    Starter strip, then staggered courses nailed to the line the manufacturer specifies for high wind.

    Shingle warranty and wind rating (slot)

  5. 5Ridge vent and cap

    Lets warm, damp air out of the attic so the deck stays dry and the shingles do not cook from below.

    Ventilation covered by the system warranty (slot)

Storm damage and your insurer

We document the roof and stand next to you when the adjuster comes. Your insurer decides what is covered; we never promise a claim will pay.

  1. Inspection and photos

    Every slope, every flashing, the attic, dated and labelled.

  2. Written report

    What we found, what caused it, and a line-item repair or replacement estimate.

  3. Adjuster meeting

    We meet the adjuster on the roof and answer questions about the damage.

How claims work with us

Monthly payment options

Spread a new roof over monthly payments through a lender partner, on approved credit. Ask at your inspection and we will give you the current terms in writing.

★★★★★
We had water coming through the kitchen ceiling on a Sunday. They tarped it that evening and came back with the flashing fixed by Wednesday. They sent photos of everything.
Linda, Gig HarborSample review
★★★★★
Three companies quoted us a new roof. Alderline said the roof had years left and quoted the moss work and two vent boots instead. That is why they will get the replacement when it is time.
Mark, University PlaceSample review
★★★★★
The estimate was written out line by line and the final bill matched it. The crew cleaned up every night and ran a magnet over the lawn.
Rosa, PuyallupSample review
★★★★★
Old house, two layers of shingles and some soft boards underneath. They showed us the boards before replacing them, and it was on the estimate as an allowance, so no surprise.

★★★★★
I booked the inspection through the chat on their site at night and had a text confirming the time before I went to bed.
