How a Proper Roof Inspection Should Be Done: The G.L.O.C.C.C. Method

When storms move through the Texas Hill Country, homeowners often focus on who to call. The better question is how that company will inspect your roof.

At Churchill USA, we believe peace of mind comes from process, not shortcuts. That’s why we rely on a thorough, repeatable inspection system called the G.L.O.C.C.C. Method. It ensures nothing is missed and everything is documented with intention and care.

G – Ground

We begin with a 360-degree walk of your property. This creates context so anyone reviewing the report, including insurance adjusters, can understand the full picture. We also inspect window screens, AC units, gutters, and surrounding elements because roof damage often shows up beyond the roof itself.

L – Ladder

Next, we inspect gutters and edges up close. We document gutter width, mounting style, and any visible damage. These details matter more than most homeowners realize, especially during storm-related claims.

O – Observation

From the roof, we complete another 360-degree assessment. We evaluate material condition, look for impact points, and document any visible damage with precision. This step forms the backbone of an accurate inspection.

C – Clarity

We slow down and listen. Are you noticing leaks, stains, or changes that we may not see immediately? Your experience matters, and clarity only comes when both sides are fully understood.

C – Closeup

Insurance carriers require detailed, up-close documentation. We capture high-resolution photos of any damage so your claim is supported by clear, professional evidence.

C – Complexity

No two homes are the same. Complex rooflines, custom materials, or previous repairs all require discernment. If something is complicated, we identify it early and address it the right way.

Why This Takes Time

Our inspections typically take 30 to 45 minutes. Not because we’re slow, but because we’re thorough. Even when no damage is found, you receive a complete photo inspection report that confirms your home is protected.

At the end of the day, our goal is simple: eliminate fear and replace it with confidence. A proper inspection doesn’t just look for problems. It provides peace of mind, backed by proof.

If you want your roof inspected with care, clarity, and craftsmanship, this is how it should be done.
