Gilroy Roof Pros provides professional roof inspections in Gilroy, CA for residential and commercial properties across the South Santa Clara Valley. Most roof inspections end in an opinion. Ours ends in a document carrying two numbers the City of Gilroy will ask you for eventually anyway: how many layers of covering are up there, and what the finished assembly weighs per square foot.
Those two numbers decide your options before anything else does. A roof already carrying one covering cannot legally take a second overlay on top of it. An assembly landing above 7.5 pounds per square foot sends the job to the City's structural engineer instead of over the counter. Knowing both figures before you start shopping is worth considerably more than a free estimate.
The inspection itself is physical work. Every plane that can be stood on safely gets walked, and a pole camera covers whatever cannot be reached. On tile we lift pieces along a set path so we can read the underlayment rather than guessing from the surface, and we count what we break and replace it. On shingle we check nail placement and the condition of the seal strip by hand rather than by eye.
Then the attic, where there is access. Sheathing stains, daylight at penetrations, insulation that has been wet and dried out again, the condition of the vent chutes, and whether the intake at the eave actually matches the exhaust at the ridge. The framing gets a look too, because on a tile house we want to know what is carrying that load and whether anything has been notched for a duct run.
The report you receive has photographs keyed to a numbered roof plan, a plane-by-plane remaining-service-life estimate, the layer count, the measured pitch of each plane, and the assembly weight in pounds per square foot. If we think you have five years left, it says five years. We have no interest at all in scaring a perfectly good working roof off a house.
For buyers and sellers this is the version worth paying for. A South County house built in the 1990s under builder-set concrete tile can look immaculate from the street and be sitting on completely failed felt, and the gap between those two situations is tens of thousands of dollars. Better to find that out during the contingency period than during the first wet February after you move in.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — assembly weight in pounds per square foot including sheathing, standard-weight concrete tile at nine to eleven pounds per square foot, stone-coated steel formed in a barrel profile, 7/16-inch Exposure 1 sheathing with edge blocking at the panel joints, 26-gauge galvanized wall and roof intersection flashing, net free ventilating area at a one-to-150 ratio — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Gilroy and nearby communities including Morgan Hill, San Martin, Hollister, San Juan Bautista.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof inspections
The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with assembly weight in pounds per square foot including sheathing, standard-weight concrete tile at nine to eleven pounds per square foot, stone-coated steel formed in a barrel profile, 7/16-inch Exposure 1 sheathing with edge blocking at the panel joints, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Gilroy job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the South Santa Clara Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
