- Gutters, trim, ridge caps and closures.
- The attic or underside, where accessible, for signs of leaks or condensation.

When to get a metal roof inspected
After hail or high wind
To separate cosmetic dents from functional damage, and to document it if you file a claim.
Before buying a home with a metal roof
Fasteners, sealants and finish condition tell you how much life the roof has left.
Once a year
A yearly check catches aging sealant and loose fasteners before they leak.
When you see a leak or stain
Leaks on metal usually start at fasteners, flashing or penetrations, which an inspection traces to the source.
What happens next
You get photos and a straight answer: no action needed, routine maintenance, targeted metal roof repair, or, if the roof is past saving, metal roof replacement. If hail was involved, see metal roofs and hail for how insurers treat cosmetic and functional damage.

What fails first on a metal roof?
Usually sealants, flashing and, on exposed fastener roofs, the rubber washers at fasteners, rather than the panels themselves.
Should I get a metal roof inspected before buying a house?
Yes. Fastener, sealant and finish condition tell you how much maintenance or repair is coming.
Can an inspection tell cosmetic hail dents from real damage?
Yes. An inspection checks whether dents affect seams, finish, fasteners or flashing, which is the line between cosmetic and functional damage.
