Mobile Roof Pros provides professional roof inspections in Mobile, AL for residential and commercial properties across the central Gulf Coast. An inspection here should start in the attic. What a roof looks like from a ladder tells you about granules and age. What the underside of the deck looks like tells you whether water is already getting in, which is the question you are actually asking.
We read the sheathing with a moisture meter at valleys, at every penetration, along wall lines and out at the eave edge, then look for the pale shadow that marks an old dried entry against the darker halo of an active one. Rusted nail shanks poking through the deck, delaminated plywood plies and daylight at a ridge all get logged with a location and a photograph, so the report reads as a map.
Outside, the checklist is drainage first. Valley metal clear of pine straw, kick-out flashing present at every wall termination, step flashing laid course by course rather than one long bent sheet, counterflashing cut into a mortar reglet, pipe boots without splits, and gutters showing no overflow staining on the fascia beneath them. We count the downspouts against the roof area feeding them while we are down there.
Overflow staining is the most useful thing on a Mobile roof, because it is a written record of an event nobody watched. A dark band under a gutter joint, or a stripe of washed-clean fascia where water sheeted over the front lip, tells us the trough is undersized or the outlets are too few for the roof plane feeding them. We measure the plane and give you the number rather than a guess.
You get a written report with slope-by-slope findings, a photograph for every item, an estimated remaining service life for the covering, and a repair list split into what needs doing now and what can be watched for a season. If the roof is sound we write that down, and we do not quote work we cannot justify from a photograph.
Pre-purchase inspections, post-storm inspections and an annual check before hurricane season are the three that pay for themselves. If you are buying an older house on the Eastern Shore or in midtown, book the roof separately from the general home inspection. A generalist will not lift a course or put a meter on your decking, and the roof is usually the largest single item on the repair list anyway.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — ASTM D1970 self-adhered underlayment, sealed roof decks with taped panel seams, open 26-gauge W-valley metal, kick-out flashing at roof-to-wall terminations, six-inch K-style aluminum gutter with three-by-four downspouts, ring-shank fasteners at six and twelve inch spacing — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Mobile and nearby communities including Prichard, Tillmans Corner, Saraland, Daphne.

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 ASTM D1970 self-adhered underlayment, sealed roof decks with taped panel seams, open 26-gauge W-valley metal, kick-out flashing at roof-to-wall terminations, 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 Mobile 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 central Gulf Coast means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Mobile Chooses Mobile Roof Pros
- ✓Gutters and downspouts are sized from the roof's drainage area, not copied from what was on the house before
- ✓Open 26-gauge metal valleys are standard, because a closed-cut valley asks a shingle lap to carry two planes of runoff
- ✓Every proposal names the underlayment by ASTM standard and coverage area, not just the shingle brand
- ✓Kick-out flashing goes on at every roof-to-wall termination, including the ones a previous roofer sealed over
The standards behind roof inspections
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The roof inspections work we do in Mobile follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every roof inspections project in Mobile gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
