The full vocabulary
Click any term to open it on the roof. If a contractor uses one of these words and cannot point at it on your roof, that is worth noticing.
Free inspection
A Sprout inspector photographs each slope, flashing and penetration, then emails the report the same day — annotated with the same terms you just learned. No cost, no obligation.
