Roof Inspection in McKinney, TX

What’s Included in a Roof Inspection

Comprehensive roof inspections feature shingle integrity assessment, flashing condition evaluation, gutter system inspection, and detailed photographic records with complete written findings. We examine weather-related damage, locate leak sources, and offer repair recommendations. Structural review and drainage system analysis are standard components. Our service extends beyond conventional offerings. We perform detailed attic inspections to identify water intrusion and mold issues that surface checks miss. Our team analyzes ventilation systems to prevent ice dam problems and premature aging. Specialized leak detection approaches help find trouble spots before significant damage occurs. We evaluate insulation performance and assess roof deck structural integrity. Other companies often skip interior work or impose additional fees, but we provide complete attic inspection because concealed damage becomes much more expensive to repair after it advances. We assist with insurance documentation when storm damage is identified. Reach out for detailed information about your specific inspection requirements.

Exterior Inspection Points:

• Shingle condition, granule loss, and thermal cycling damage
• Flashing integrity around chimneys, vents, and skylights
• Gutter systems, downspouts, and drainage patterns
• Soffit and fascia board condition
• Ridge vents and ventilation systems

Interior and Structural Assessment:

• Attic insulation levels and ventilation effectiveness
• Signs of moisture intrusion or water damage

We document everything with high-resolution photography and provide detailed explanations of our findings, so you understand exactly what we discovered and why it matters for your home’s protection.

Common Roof Issues We Find in McKinney, TX

McKinney’s location in North Texas exposes roofs to some of the most challenging weather conditions in the country. Our inspection team regularly identifies specific types of damage that are common to this region’s unique climate patterns.

Hail Damage: McKinney sits in “Hail Alley,” where storms can produce golf ball-sized hail that creates granule loss, exposed mat, and compromised shingle integrity. We use specialized techniques to identify hail damage that may not be visible from ground level.

Heat-Related Deterioration: Summer temperatures exceeding 100°F for weeks at a time cause thermal cycling that leads to shingle cracking, seal failure, and accelerated aging. Our thermal imaging equipment detects heat-related stress before it becomes visible damage.

Wind Uplift and Storm Damage: Texas thunderstorms generate straight-line winds exceeding 70 mph, causing shingle uplift, loose flashing, and debris impact damage. We inspect all wind-vulnerable areas including edges, corners, and ridge lines.

Poor Previous Workmanship: Unfortunately, we often discover substandard repair work from other contractors, including improper flashing installation, inadequate fastening, and incorrect material selection for our climate.

Roof Types We Inspect in McKinney

Our inspection expertise covers every roofing system commonly found in North Texas residential and commercial properties. Twenty-six years of experience means we’ve seen every roof type, material, and installation method used in the McKinney area.

Asphalt Shingle Systems: From basic 3-tab shingles to premium architectural designs, we inspect for granule loss, seal failure, wind damage, and proper installation. We’re particularly experienced with GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed products popular in Texas.

Metal Roofing: Standing seam, corrugated, and metal tile systems require specialized inspection techniques. We check for thermal expansion issues, fastener integrity, and coating condition while assessing ventilation and condensation management.

Tile Roofing: Clay and concrete tile systems need evaluation for cracking, displacement, and underlayment condition. We understand how North Texas weather affects different tile materials and can identify problems before they lead to leaks.

Flat and Low-Slope Commercial Roofs: TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems require different inspection approaches. We assess membrane condition, drainage effectiveness, and penetration sealing using moisture detection equipment.

Specialty Systems: We also inspect wood shake, slate, and synthetic roofing materials, though these are less common in McKinney’s new construction market.
