What a Real Roof Inspection Covers
If an inspection report does not touch most of this, it was a sales visit with a ladder.
- Shingle condition by slope — granule loss, curling, cupping, exposed mat, and blistering, noted per plane rather than as a single overall grade
- All flashing: walls, chimneys, skylights, and every penetration, with attention to whether it is original or was reused at a previous reroof
- Valleys — debris, wear-through, and whether they were cut or woven
- Pipe boots and vent collars, which crack before almost anything else
- Ridge and hip cap condition and fastening
- Fasteners — nail pops, back-out, and evidence of underdriven or overdriven nails
- Eaves, drip edge, fascia, and gutters, including evidence of past ice damming
- Attic, where accessible: daylight, active or historic moisture staining, insulation condition, and whether intake and exhaust ventilation are actually balanced
- Decking feel underfoot — soft spots and deflection between rafters
- Any prior repair work and whether it was done correctly
What Roofs Actually Cost in Bluffdale
| Local figure | Typical for Bluffdale |
|---|---|
| Typical roof size | 18 – 32 squares (Bluffdale average) |
| Typical full replacement, architectural shingle | $9,500 – $24,000 |
| Housing stock | a mix of newer subdivisions and larger-lot semi-rural properties, including detached garages, shops, and outbuildings |
| ZIP codes served | 84065 |
Larger lots often mean a house roof plus a shop, garage, or RV cover. Bundling those into one project cuts mobilization cost meaningfully.
That range assumes a complete tear-off, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, new flashing, and ridge ventilation. A quote materially below it is usually missing one of those, not finding a cheaper shingle.
When to Get an Inspection
- Every three to five years once the roof is past 15 years old.
- When your insurer asks for a roof condition report at renewal, which is becoming more common.
- After any wind event over about 50 mph, or any hail. Damage is often invisible from the ground and insurance claim windows are limited.
- Before buying a home, especially one with a roof over 15 years old. The general home inspection typically does not include walking the roof.
- Before selling, so a buyer’s inspector does not surface something that turns into a price negotiation you did not control.
- Any time you see an interior stain, however small.

Roofing in Bluffdale: What's Different Here
Bluffdale has more outbuildings per property than anywhere else we serve — detached garages, shops, barns, and RV covers. Those structures are often the first thing to leak and the easiest to put off, and they are usually a fast, inexpensive job when caught early.
Sitting at the Point of the Mountain, Bluffdale sees some of the most consistent high wind in the valley, which is exactly the condition that peels back improperly nailed shingles.

Roof Inspection FAQs — Bluffdale
Is the estimate really free?
Yes, and it is written and itemized. There is no charge, no obligation, and no expiring discount. If your roof does not need work, we will tell you that and leave.
Is your roof inspection really free?
Yes — free, photo documented, and you keep the report whether or not you hire us. We do it because it is how we earn work honestly, and because a homeowner who trusts the report calls us back in five years.
How long does an inspection take?
Usually 30 to 60 minutes on a typical home, longer on a large or complex roof, plus attic access where available. You get the report the same day or the next.
Do I need to be home?
It helps but is not required for the exterior. We do need access if we are checking the attic, which we recommend — a lot of what matters is only visible from underneath.
Should I get an independent inspector instead?
If a contractor has told you that you need a five-figure replacement and you are unsure, yes — $175 to $400 for an opinion from someone who cannot sell you a roof is money well spent. We will not argue with that choice.
Do you actually serve Bluffdale?
Yes. Affordable All-Pro Roofing covers the entire Salt Lake Valley, including Bluffdale. We are based in West Jordan and most of our work is within a twenty-minute drive of the office.
