When searching for Roofing, Siding, or Gutter services—especially after events like hailstorms—homeowners often see advertisements for “free inspections” or “free estimates.” While these offers seem appealing, it’s crucial to understand what “free” really means, and how it differs from a professional, paid inspection.
At Holda Construction Roofing & Siding, we offer both free estimates and comprehensive paid inspections, empowering homeowners to choose what fits their situation best. Here’s how we do it—and why having the option matters.
One of our clients in Batavia, IL shared a real-world example of just how overwhelming and intrusive storm chasers can be:
Stories like this highlight how easily vulnerable homeowners can be targeted during stressful times, and how important it is to work with a trusted, local contractor who values your peace of mind—not just your insurance check.
Because they expect large profits, some contractors impose high cancellation fees, often exceeding 10%, and sometimes up to 25%, if you change your mind. These penalties exist to recover imagined future profits—not actual costs.
Once a homeowner loses trust—maybe due to poor communication or pushy behavior—things can turn ugly. Contractors may use pressure tactics or even threats to secure payment for canceled work, crossing ethical lines.
At Holda Construction, we believe that a paid inspection offers transparency, fairness, and peace of mind. Here’s why:
Just like hiring a plumber or electrician, a paid roof inspection means you’re buying a service—not a sales pitch. We provide clear, concrete value in the form of a detailed inspection and report.
A paid inspection lets you experience the contractor’s professionalism, attention to detail, and communication before committing to a major investment.
Because we’re being fairly compensated for our time, we’re focused on helping you—not pushing a contract. This results in more balanced, educational conversations.
If you choose to work with us after a paid inspection, we typically credit the inspection cost toward the project—so it’s not an extra expense after all.
We understand that not every situation requires the same level of evaluation, which is why we offer both free estimates and comprehensive, paid inspections:
Perfect for getting a quick sense of the problem, our free estimate service involves:
You’ll receive a private video and photo documentation of our findings, along with multiple solution options (repair vs. replacement) to suit your needs and budget.
While free estimates can serve a purpose, paid inspections offer deeper insights, better protection, and more honest relationships. At Holda Construction, we’re proud to offer both, depending on what you need.
Your roof deserves more than a quick look—it deserves attention from professionals who care.
