Oahu Roof Inspections
Get the facts before you pay for construction. We evaluate your roof's actual condition to determine if you need a repair or a full replacement.
Free inspection and estimate. Written reports available for a fee.
What It Costs
Inspections and estimates are free
We will walk your roof, tell you what we find, and give you a price for the work at no charge.
Written reports have a fee
If you need a written report, for an insurance claim, a property sale, or your own records, there is a fee for that report. We will tell you the cost before we start so there are no surprises.
When to Call for an Inspection
You do not need to wait for water to pour into your living room. A professional evaluation clarifies your next steps across several situations:
Active Leaks
We trace interior ceiling stains to the exact exterior breach.
Post-Storm Checks
We identify hidden wind or debris damage after severe Oahu weather.
Real Estate Transactions
We evaluate structural conditions before you buy or sell a property.
Aging Materials
We assess whether an older roof is worn out or still has years left.
Insurance Claims
We document visible damage professionally for your carrier.

What You Get From an R&C Roofing Inspection
We provide structural clarity rather than a high-pressure sales pitch. Every inspection delivers concrete evidence so you can make an informed decision:
Visual Documentation
Clear photographic proof of any damaged shingles, rusted flashing, or underlying wood rot we uncover.
Condition Analysis
An evaluation of your materials' remaining lifespan based on local island weather exposure.
Damage Mapping
Pinpointing exactly where the roof is failing and whether the issue is localized or widespread.
Actionable Recommendations
Clear guidance on the practical next steps required to secure your property.
The HAAG Certification Advantage
Standard contractors often lack the training to properly identify complex damage. Robert Pilato (Cert #201408313) is a HAAG Certified roof inspector.
This specialized credential provides a structured approach to evaluating wear, allowing us to distinguish between normal island weathering and sudden storm impacts so you get accurate data for your property decisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you automatically recommend a new roof?
No. We recommend a repair if a localized fix can safely address the problem while the surrounding roof remains serviceable.
Do I need to be home during the inspection?
Only if we need to access the interior of your property. We require you to be present if your concern involves a ceiling leak or an attic condition.
Can an inspection help with my insurance claim?
Yes. We document visible roofing conditions and provide contractor side information. Please note that R&C Roofing is not a public adjuster. We do not negotiate settlements or guarantee claim outcomes.
Can R&C repair the roof after inspecting it?
Yes. We operate under Hawaii Contractor License CT-33642. Our crews can execute the necessary repairs or a full replacement if we find damage.
How much does a roof inspection cost?
Inspections and estimates are free. If you need a written report for an insurance claim, a property sale, or your own records, there is a fee. We will tell you the cost before we start so there are no surprises.
