When to Schedule

When to Get a Roof Inspection

After a Hailstorm

Hail bruises shingles without tearing them, and the marks weather away within months. An inspection soon after the storm documents the damage while it can still support an insurance claim.

Buying or Selling a Home

A documented roof condition removes one of the biggest unknowns in a sale. Buyers know what they're getting, and sellers avoid surprise renegotiations at closing.

Insurance or Roof-Age Check

Insurers often ask about an older roof's age and condition. A written report with photos gives you an answer you can back up instead of a guess from the ground.

Annual Maintenance

Central Texas heat ages sealants and backs out fasteners every summer. A yearly check catches cracked pipe boots, loose flashing and worn sealant while they're still small repairs.

Why It Matters

What a Real Roof Inspection Looks Like

We walk the roof itself — every slope, not just the one visible from the driveway. Shingles get checked for hail bruising, wind lift, and granule loss; flashing gets checked at every chimney, vent, and skylight, because that's where most leaks actually start. When the attic is accessible, we check it too: ventilation, signs of moisture on the decking, and daylight where there shouldn't be any. Everything we find is photographed, and you get the findings in a written report — not a verbal summary that evaporates when the truck pulls away.

Central Texas is hard on roofs in ways a homeowner can't see from the ground. Hail bruises shingles without tearing them, and the damage weathers into invisibility within months — right when you'd need the evidence for an insurance claim. Summer heat cycles a roof daily, aging sealants and backing out fasteners around penetrations. An inspection catches these while they're still small, and small problems on a roof are dramatically cheaper than the water damage they grow into.

What we look for shifts with the season and the neighborhood. In spring, fresh hail bruising and wind-lifted tabs top the list; by late summer, it's heat-stressed sealants, cracked pipe boots, and ventilation problems that show up as attic temperatures well beyond what shingle warranties assume. Older Austin neighborhoods with mature tree cover get extra attention on debris accumulation and shaded slopes that dry slowly, while newer suburbs get their fastening patterns checked, since builder-grade installation varies more than most owners realize. The point of a good inspection isn't completing a checklist — it's knowing where this roof, in this climate, fails first.

Roof Inspection for Insurance Claims

After hail or high wind, an inspection is the first step in an insurance claim. We photograph the damage on every slope and put it in a written report you can send to your insurance company, and we help you through the claim from there. The sooner it's done after the storm, the easier it is to show the damage came from that storm and not from age.

Common Questions

Free Roof Inspection FAQs

Is the roof inspection really free? What's the catch?

There's no catch and no obligation. The inspection, the photos, and the written report are free whether or not you ever hire us. We do it this way because an honest assessment is how we earn work — and because plenty of inspections end with us telling the homeowner their roof is fine.

Will you try to sell me a new roof?

Only if you actually need one. Every inspection ends with one of three recommendations: repair, replace, or do nothing. If a repair will serve you well, that's what we'll recommend — in writing, with the photos to back it up. That straight-answer policy is a big part of why homeowners trust us.

Do I need an inspection after every hailstorm?

If hail large enough to dent gutters or downspouts passed over your neighborhood, yes. Hail bruising on shingles is nearly impossible to spot from the ground and weathers away in the sun within months, taking your insurance evidence with it. A prompt inspection documents the damage while it's still provable.

What's actually in the written report?

Photos of every issue we find, a plain-English description of the roof's overall condition, and a clear recommendation. If damage is storm-related, the report is formatted the way Texas insurance carriers expect, so it can go straight into a claim file. If you're buying or selling a home, it works as documentation for the transaction.

How fast can you get someone out?

We respond to inspection requests within one business hour, and we can typically schedule the visit within a day or two — faster for active leaks. After a major regional storm the calendar fills quickly, so it's worth calling as soon as you suspect damage.

Do you inspect roofs for home purchases?

Yes — pre-purchase and pre-listing inspections are some of the most valuable we do. A documented roof condition removes one of the biggest unknowns in a transaction: buyers know what they're getting, sellers avoid surprise renegotiations at closing, and both sides work from a written report with photos rather than a guess from the ground.

How is your inspection different from my insurance adjuster's?

We work for you; the adjuster works for the carrier. Our inspection happens first, documents everything with photos, and gives you an independent baseline — so if the adjuster's scope misses something, you have evidence to question it rather than accepting the first estimate as final.
