What the final roof inspection checks before you accept the job as complete

Chatham, Summit, and Millburn homeowners should walk the completed roof job—or review clear photos—before final payment. The decision is what the inspection must confirm: fastening, flashing, cleanup, and that every line on the estimate actually appears on the house.
- Match the finished work to the written scope
- Look at edges, valleys, and penetrations first
- Cleanup and attic checks close the job
Match the finished work to the written scope
Ridge vent length, drip edge, pipe boots, and chimney metal should match what you signed. If a line is missing on the roof, it is not complete.
Look at edges, valleys, and penetrations first
Those details fail before the open field does. Check for lifted tabs, open step flashing, and debris in valleys before you look at the shingle color from the street.
Cleanup and attic checks close the job
Magnets should have pulled nails from the lawn and beds. From the attic, look for daylight at penetrations and confirm baffles were not crushed. A Summit or Millburn job is not done while nails remain in the yard.
