Roof Inspection Services
A roof inspection is the cheapest insurance any homeowner can buy. A licensed inspector spending an hour on the roof catches the cracked pipe boot, the lifted flashing, the granule-bare patch that means the shingles are giving up. Find any of that early and it is a small repair. Find it after the next big rain and it is drywall and ceiling.
We inspect roofs across Greater Austin. The inspection is free and there is no obligation to schedule any work. You get a written report with photos, and if the roof is fine we say so.
Call (512) 270-8084 to schedule. Most inspections happen inside a week and the report follows shortly after.
When you should get a roof inspection
Most homeowners only think about the roof when it is already failing. By then the damage has spread.
Annually, regardless of visible problems
After any major storm with hail or wind over 50 mph
Before listing your home for sale, or after a purchase
When the roof is 10 or more years old
Before your homeowners insurance renewal
If you see a stain on a ceiling or wall
If your premium shingle warranty requires inspection records
How an inspection actually runs
Schedule the visit
Call us or request via the estimate form. We schedule around weather and your calendar. Most inspections take 60 to 90 minutes on site.
Ground walk
We walk the perimeter, look at how water sheds, and check gutters and downspouts.
On-roof inspection
We walk the roof itself, check every penetration, mark anything questionable, and photograph it. Shingle condition, flashing, valleys, ridge cap, and ventilation all get evaluated.
Attic walk
We check the underside of the decking from inside the attic. Daylight, water staining, or rusted nails tell us things the surface does not.
Written report
You get a written report with photos covering what we found and what needs attention. No pressure to schedule any work from the report.
When an inspection is the right call
An inspection is useful in more situations than most homeowners realize. A few of the most common reasons people call us out.
What an inspection costs
Inspections are free and come with no obligation. If we look at the roof and you decide not to move forward with any work, you owe us nothing.
We do not charge for inspections because we do not have to. The work it leads to is what pays for our time, and the homeowners who do not need work this year often become customers in a future year. The report is the deliverable, not the start of a sales pitch.
