What do recent reviews say?

Dave at Independent Roof Inspection Services earns trust through honest, impartial assessments. Reviewers repeatedly praise his willingness to catch contractor errors, perform repairs on-site without upsell, and provide court-ready documentation for warranty disputes and legal action. Response is fast and follow-up meticulous. Two one-star outliers cite a no-show appointment (2016) and a contractor's challenge to his qualifications during incomplete work inspection (2016); one other describes long refund delays following dismissal.

FAQ

Will Dave inspect a roof mid-project if I'm worried about contractor work?
Yes. Reviewers report he will visit urgently if needed, identify errors on-site, and can guide you to alternative contractors if work is substandard. He has also served as a court witness in contractor disputes.
Does Dave do the repairs, or only the inspection?
He inspects and can perform minor repairs on-site during the visit. Several reviewers describe him fixing holes, caulking, or insulating issues at no additional charge if discovered during inspection. He does not do full roof installations himself.
What do the written reports include?
Professional photographs, descriptions of each defect, a written timeline for replacement or maintenance, and his professional recommendations. Reviewers have used these reports successfully in court and for warranty claims.
