Roof Inspection in Texas

What’s Included in a Roof Inspection

Standard inspections include exterior shingle analysis, flashing condition assessment, gutter performance review, and full photographic documentation with detailed written findings. We evaluate storm impacts, pinpoint leak locations, and provide repair recommendations. Structural analysis and drainage functionality assessment are core services. Our approach surpasses typical industry standards. We conduct thorough attic examinations to discover water intrusion and mold development invisible from surface inspection. Our specialists evaluate ventilation systems to avoid ice dam creation and slow deterioration processes. Advanced leak detection methods help locate issues before extensive damage develops. We assess insulation conditions and examine roof deck structural soundness. While competitors frequently omit interior inspection or charge premium rates, we provide comprehensive attic evaluation because concealed problems require significantly higher repair investments later. We offer insurance documentation support when storm damage is present. Call us for complete details about your inspection scope.

This comprehensive approach means you get a complete picture of your roof’s health, not just a quick visual check from the ground. We use digital photography and moisture detection equipment to identify issues that might not be visible to the untrained eye.

Common Roof Issues Found in Texas

Texas weather creates unique challenges that our inspections regularly uncover. Hail damage from severe storms often shows up as granule loss, cracked shingles, or damaged flashing that can lead to leaks if left unaddressed. The intense UV exposure and extreme heat cause accelerated aging of roofing materials, particularly asphalt shingles that may become brittle or curl prematurely.

Wind uplift from thunderstorms frequently loosens or displaces shingles, while rapid temperature changes can cause expansion and contraction that stresses roofing components. We also commonly find poor workmanship from previous repairs, inadequate ventilation that leads to heat buildup, and aging materials that are approaching the end of their useful life.

Roof Inspection Cost

We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Our comprehensive roof inspection is $299, which includes the full 47-point assessment, digital photo documentation, and detailed written report with prioritized recommendations. If you decide to move forward with any recommended repairs through our team, we credit the full inspection fee toward your project cost.

For insurance claim inspections following storm damage, we work directly with your insurance adjuster and often waive the inspection fee when repairs are approved. We also offer free follow-up inspections for our existing customers as part of our warranty service.

Inspection Report Sample/What You Receive

Within 24 hours of your inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive digital report that includes high-resolution photos of all findings, a prioritized list of any issues discovered, detailed explanations of each concern and its potential impact, specific repair recommendations with estimated timelines, and a overall roof condition assessment with expected remaining lifespan.

Our reports are designed to be clear and actionable, whether you’re planning for future maintenance, working with insurance after storm damage, or considering a roof replacement. We include before-and-after comparison photos when possible and provide cost estimates for any recommended work.

Roof Types We Inspect

Asphalt Shingles: We inspect all grades of asphalt shingles commonly found in Texas, from basic 3-tab to premium architectural styles. Our team evaluates granule retention, seal strip adhesion, and overall weather resistance. These roofs typically last 20-30 years in Texas heat, and our inspection identifies when replacement timing is optimal. We’re certified to work with top brands like Owens Corning Platinum Preffered, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed.

Metal Roofing: Our inspections cover standing seam, steel, and aluminum roofing systems that are increasingly popular in Texas for their energy efficiency and hail resistance. We check for loose fasteners, sealant deterioration, and thermal expansion issues. With warranties typically ranging 30-50 years, metal roofs require specific expertise to evaluate properly, which our 26 years of experience provides.

Clay and Concrete Tile: These roofing materials excel in Texas heat reflection and durability, often lasting 50+ years when properly maintained. Our inspections focus on individual tile integrity, underlayment condition, and proper installation techniques. We evaluate brands like Boral and assess whether repairs or full replacement provide the best long-term value.

We also inspect slate (natural and synthetic), wood shake, single-ply membranes for commercial flat roofs, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing systems depending on your specific roofing type.
