Residential · Roof inspection
Know exactly what’s on your roof — in photos, not opinions.
A roof inspection should leave you with evidence. Ours ends with a report that shows every slope, every penetration and the attic, with a clear status on each.
- Photo-documented
- Written line-item scope
- Across Texas
Who books an inspection
Homeowners after a hailstorm who want to know whether to call their insurer. Buyers who need more than a general home inspector’s line about the roof. Sellers who want no surprises at the option period. And anyone whose roof is past 15 years and wants a plan instead of a guess.
- Post-storm check before deciding whether to file a claim
- Pre-purchase or pre-listing roof condition
- Aging roof: how much life is left, and what to budget
- Recurring stains, attic heat, or high energy bills
What you receive
A report you can actually use
This is the structure of every report. Each area gets a status, a note, and photos. Shown here with sample entries; your report reflects your roof.
- Good
- Monitor
- Action needed
Field shingles — all slopes Monitor
Moderate granule loss on south and west slopes; consistent with age. No functional hail damage observed.
Ridge & hip caps Good
Secure, sealed, no cracking.
Valleys Good
Closed-cut valleys lying flat; no debris dams.
Pipe boots (3) Action needed
One boot cracked at collar — likely source of hall ceiling stain. Replace.
Chimney flashing Monitor
Counter-flashing sealed with surface caulk; holding today, should be properly reflashed at replacement.
Attic ventilation Action needed
Exhaust present, but soffit intake blocked by insulation. Raises attic heat and shortens shingle life.
Decking (from attic) Good
No staining or delamination visible except at the failed boot.
Gutters & drainage Monitor
Front run sags at one hanger; minor overflow during heavy rain.
Process
What happens during an inspection
Ground & exterior
Overall roofline, gutters, downspouts, fascia and soffits, and any storm “collateral” such as dented vents or damaged screens.
On the roof
Every slope walked where safe, with test squares, close-up photos, and a check of each penetration and flashing detail.
In the attic
Decking from below, ventilation intake and exhaust, signs of leaks or condensation, insulation coverage at the eaves.
Report & walkthrough
We go over the findings with you on site. The written photo report follows, usually within one business day.
What does an inspection cost?
Inspection pricing depends on the purpose and property — a quick post-storm check is different from a detailed pre-purchase report. We quote it when you book, before we arrive.
Will you tell me to file an insurance claim?
We tell you what we found and whether it looks like storm damage or normal wear. Whether to file is your call, and your insurer’s adjuster determines coverage.
Do you inspect roofs you can’t walk?
For very steep or fragile roofs we inspect from ladders at the eaves, from the attic, and with close-up photography from safe positions, and the report notes any area we couldn’t reach.
Is your inspection a substitute for a home inspection?
No. It’s a deeper look at the roof system only. Buyers should still get a full home inspection from a TREC-licensed inspector.
