Roof inspection
A proper inspection covers the covering, every penetration, all flashing runs, the roof space from inside, and the ventilation balance — then tells you what is wrong, what will be wrong within a couple of years, and what can wait. It is worth doing annually in storm-prone areas and before buying a property. A survey that only looks from the ground, or only from a drone, misses the attic entirely, which is where the most useful evidence usually is.

Questions
Is a free roof inspection worth having?
It is a sales visit. That is not automatically bad, but the incentive is to find work, and a free inspection rarely includes attic access or a written report. A charged inspection you can hand to someone else is a different product.
How often should a roof be inspected?
Annually in a hail or storm-prone area, otherwise every two to three years, and always after a significant storm. The damage that causes leaks is usually invisible from the ground, which is exactly why it goes unnoticed.

Describe what you are seeing
Most metro Atlanta leaks trace back to a storm that did not look like it caused damage. The shingles are still there, the roof looks fine from the driveway, and water is getting in anyway. Finding where is the job.
