We do not have to walk the roof. However, if the roof is safe and not too steep, we will inspect it. This inspection will include such things as the roof’s condition, drainage system, venting, chimney, etc. If we are unable to walk the roof, we will inspect the areas from a ladder or a drone if needed.
