Every inspection covers the full roof system, inside and out, with photo documentation of anything we find. Repair work is quoted separately so you can decide what to fix now and what to monitor.
We walk every accessible slope, checking asphalt shingles, metal roofing panels, or membrane for missing shingles, granule loss, cracking, and roof algae. Steep or fragile sections get inspected from the ladder and with a pole camera.
Flashing failure causes more leaks than shingle damage. We check pipe boots, valleys, chimney flashing, and skylight seals, then photograph anything that has pulled loose or shows sealant cracking.
Inside the attic we look for dark decking stains, run a moisture meter along rafters, and use an infrared camera to find wet insulation. We also check ridge vents and soffit ventilation for blockages that shorten shingle life.
You get dated photos of every defect, a severity rating, and a remaining service life grade from 1 to 5. The report notes whether GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed warranty coverage still applies to your system.
We tell you plainly whether the roof needs a targeted repair, a partial replacement, or a full tear-off. If it is fine, the report says so, and you keep the documentation for your records or your insurer.
A Roof Inspection in Texas is a top-to-bottom assessment of your roof system that documents the condition of shingles, underlayment, flashing, ridge vents, and decking before small problems become five-figure repairs. We walk the roof when it is safe, run a moisture meter across suspect ceiling areas, and shoot an infrared camera at attic planes to catch wet insulation that never shows a stain. You get photos of every defect, a written summary, and a clear recommendation.
Texas roofs take a beating. Hail seasons hammer North Texas, Gulf storms push wind-driven rain under flashing along the coast, and summer attic temps above 140 degrees cook asphalt shingles from the underside. That is why a Texas roof inspection matters most after a storm, before you list a house, or when your insurer asks for documentation. We see missing shingles, flashing failure, roof algae, and premature shingle aging on nearly every route, and we tell you which ones are cosmetic and which ones will leak.
Five steps, one visit, no surprises. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you call until the report hits your inbox.
Schedule
Call or book online — a real human picks up and confirms a 2-hour arrival window.
Diagnose
Licensed tech inspects on-site, then walks you through the cause and your options.
Fix
The job is completed to code and done right the first time — no shortcuts, no surprises.
Guarantee
Every job backed by a written workmanship warranty — and we stand behind it.
Tools & EquipmentMoisture meter
Reads water content in decking and rafters so we can confirm active leaks that have not yet stained the ceiling below.
Infrared camera
Reveals temperature differences caused by wet insulation, catching hidden moisture across an entire attic plane in minutes.
Roofing ladder and safety harness
Gets the inspector onto steep and multi-story roofs safely, with OSHA-compliant fall protection on every climb.
Pry bar and roofing hammer
Lifts shingle edges and flashing without tearing them, so we can check underlayment condition without causing damage during the inspection.
Chalk line and tape measure
Marks test squares for hail strike counts and measures damaged areas accurately for insurance documentation.
Tarp
Deployed immediately when an inspection uncovers an open breach and rain is coming, stopping water intrusion until the repair is scheduled.
HAAG damage assessment protocol
Our certified inspectors use the HAAG method for hail and wind claims: test squares on each slope, strike counts, and standardized photo angles that adjusters recognize and accept.
Attic-first leak tracing
We start inside the attic and work outward to the roof surface, following moisture trails to the actual entry point instead of guessing from the ceiling stain location.
Manufacturer warranty verification
We check whether your system falls under GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, or CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster coverage, which affects repair options and cost.
NRCA inspection standards
Every inspection follows National Roofing Contractors Association guidelines for component checks, documentation, and safety, so nothing gets skipped on complex roof systems.
01
What we do: We inspect within 48 hours, document hail strikes and granule loss with dated photos, and give you a report your adjuster can work from. If there is no claim-worthy damage, we tell you that too.
→ You either file a well-documented claim or skip the hassle entirely, with photos to prove the roof is sound.
02
What we do: We prioritize real estate inspections and turn reports in 24 to 48 hours, separating maintenance items from safety issues so negotiations stay focused.
→ The deal keeps moving, and both sides have a clear, photo-backed picture of the roof's condition.
03
What we do: We grade remaining service life on a 1-to-5 scale, check warranty coverage, and note which components will fail first. You get a realistic timeline instead of a sales pitch.
→ You can budget for replacement on your schedule rather than paying emergency prices after a leak.
04
What we do: We trace the leak with a moisture meter and infrared camera, check flashing and penetrations above the stain, and repair the entry point rather than the symptom.
→ The leak stops, the stain dries out, and you avoid the deck rot that follows months of undetected moisture.
Texas is not one climate, and roofs here fail differently depending on where you live. Along the Gulf Coast, wind-driven rain pushes under flashing and roof algae spreads fast in the humidity. In North Texas, hail seasons bruise shingles and knock granules loose. West Texas windstorms lift shingle tabs and tear ridge vents. Our inspectors adjust the checklist to the region: coastal properties get extra attention on fasteners and sealant, hail-belt homes get full test-square documentation, and older neighborhoods get decking checks because so much of the housing stock predates modern underlayment. If you have been searching for roof inspection services in Texas near me, the same crew standards apply whether we are on a Galveston beach house or a ranch outside Abilene. We also handle roof inspection in Texas for real estate closings, with 24-to-48-hour turnaround so option periods do not stall.
Kingwood
Heavy tree canopy means limb damage and shaded roof algae are common, so we check for abrasion and moss growth on north-facing slopes.
Arlington
Sits in the heart of the hail belt. We run full test-square documentation here because so many claims originate from spring storms.
La Porte
Coastal wind exposure and humidity make flashing failure and fastener corrosion the top issues we find on inspections.
Boerne
Hill Country hail and intense sun age shingles quickly. We check for granule loss and heat-related cracking on west-facing slopes.
Manor
Fast-growing area with a mix of new builds and older homes. New construction gets a workmanship check; older roofs get decking and underlayment review.
Summer attic temperatures above 140 degrees
Heat breaks down asphalt shingles from the underside and shortens service life, so we check attic ventilation on every inspection.
Gulf Coast wind-driven rain
Rain gets pushed sideways under flashing and into penetrations, which is why coastal inspections focus on sealant and fastener condition.
North Texas hail seasons
Spring and early summer storms bruise shingles and knock granules loose, making post-storm documentation critical for claims.
Expansive clay soils
Soil movement stresses roof structures and can open flashing joints over time, so we check for gaps at wall and chimney intersections.
Most Texas roof failures start small and stay invisible until water is already inside. These are the issues we document most often, and what happens if they go another season without attention.
Problem
Water travels along rafters before it drips, so the stain is rarely under the actual breach. Left alone, wet decking rots and insulation loses R-value.
Our Fix
We trace the leak backward using a moisture meter and infrared camera, then check the flashing, pipe boots, and valleys above the stain. Once we find the entry point, we photograph it and quote the repair.
Problem
Bruised shingles lose granules and age years faster. If the damage is not documented properly, the claim gets denied and you pay out of pocket later.
Our Fix
Our HAAG Certified Inspector counts hail strikes per test square and photographs granule loss across each slope. The report is formatted for Texas Department of Insurance review, which reduces denials and re-inspections.
Problem
Cracked sealant and lifted flashing let wind-driven rain straight into the attic. This is the number one leak source we find on roofs under 15 years old.
Our Fix
We inspect every penetration, remove failed sealant, and re-flash with proper materials rather than smearing more caulk over the problem. Most flashing repairs are finished in a single visit.
Problem
Standing water breaks down TPO membrane and EPDM membrane seams, and the weight stresses the deck. By the time it leaks inside, the insulation below is soaked.
Our Fix
We check drains, scuppers, and slope during the inspection, then patch or re-seam the membrane where water is pooling. If the deck has settled, we tell you what it takes to restore drainage.
An inspection costs far less than the damage it prevents. These are the four outcomes our customers care about most, whether they own a 1970s ranch house in the Panhandle or a new build outside Austin.
Catch leaks early
A slow flashing failure can drip for months before you see a ceiling stain. Our moisture meter and infrared camera find wet decking while the repair is still a few hundred dollars instead of a full tear-off. Most hidden leaks we flag are caught within one attic bay of the entry point.
Document storm claims
Insurers want dated photos, measurements, and a damage narrative. We deliver a report formatted for Texas Department of Insurance claim review, with hail strike counts, wind-lifted shingle photos, and a repair scope you can hand straight to your adjuster.
Close real estate deals
Buyers and sellers both need a roof inspection in Texas for real estate transactions. We turn reports in 24 to 48 hours so option periods do not stall, and we separate maintenance items from safety items so nobody argues about a cosmetic stain.
Plan the next 10 years
Not every roof needs replacing. We grade remaining service life on a 1-to-5 scale, note whether GAF or Owens Corning warranty coverage still applies, and give you a realistic timeline so you can budget instead of reacting.
Typical 2026 pricing for a residential inspection runs $150 to $450, and commercial or steep-slope roofs run higher. The price depends on roof size, pitch, number of levels, and whether you need a full insurance-claim report. We quote the exact number on the phone before we schedule, and it does not change when we arrive. If the inspection leads to repair work with us, we credit the inspection fee toward the job.
Typical Investment Range
$150 - $450 for most residential inspections; commercial and steep-slope roofs quoted individually
An inspection costs a fraction of a repair. Catching one failed flashing joint early saves hundreds, and a documented claim report can mean thousands in insurance coverage you would otherwise lose.
What changes the price
Roof size and pitch
A single-story ranch is faster and safer to walk than a steep two-story with multiple valleys. Steep pitches require more time and harness work, which affects the price.
Insurance claim documentation
Full claim reports with test squares, strike counts, and adjuster-ready formatting take longer than a standard condition inspection and carry a higher fee.
Roof type and material
Asphalt shingles inspect quickly. Metal roofing panels, TPO membrane, and modified bitumen systems need different checks and sometimes water testing, which adds time.
Access and height
Tall homes, steep lots, and properties with limited ladder access take longer to inspect safely. We factor that in upfront rather than surprising you later.
Additional structures
Detached garages, sheds, and guest houses each count as a separate roof system. We quote per structure so you know the total before we start.
Google ★★★★★4.9
They inspected my roof after a storm and gave me a report with photos my insurance accepted immediately. No pressure to replace anything. The repair was done in one visit and the price matched the quote exactly.
Yelp ★★★★★4.8
I have used them on three rental properties. Every inspection report is consistent, detailed, and delivered within a day. It makes planning repairs across multiple roofs much easier.
BBB ★★★★★4.9
Called about a ceiling stain and they found the leak source in under an hour using a moisture meter. Fixed the flashing the same week. Honest company that does not try to sell you a new roof you do not need.
Our inspectors have walked roofs through Gulf hurricanes, North Texas hail events, and West Texas windstorms. Several hold HAAG Certified Inspector credentials for storm damage assessment, and our crews carry manufacturer certifications including GAF Master Elite and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor status. We work to NRCA standards, follow OSHA fall-protection rules on every climb, and stay current with Texas Department of Insurance claim documentation requirements.
Our roof inspection services Texas-wide cover both major metros and smaller communities, with the same photo-documented reports and 48-hour scheduling everywhere. Whether you are in a Gulf Coast town or a North Texas suburb, one call reaches an inspector who knows the local roof conditions.
Heavy tree cover and humidity make roof algae and limb damage common here. We check shaded slopes and north-facing shingles on every Kingwood inspection.
Arlington sits in the hail belt, so we run full test-square documentation on every inspection and format reports for insurance claims after spring storms.
A mix of older and newer homes means we check decking and underlayment on aging roofs, and workmanship on recent builds. Reports delivered in 24 to 48 hours.
West Texas wind and hail hit Abilene roofs hard. We document wind-lifted shingles and hail bruising, and check flashing that loosens in the constant wind.
Pine belt humidity and summer heat age Conroe roofs quickly. We focus on ventilation, roof algae, and flashing sealant that dries out and cracks.
Rural properties around Maxwell often have outbuildings and metal roofs. We inspect each structure separately and check fasteners and sealant on metal panels.
Fast-growing Little Elm has many roofs under 15 years old. We grade remaining service life and catch early flashing failures before they stain ceilings.
Schertz hail and heat combine to shorten shingle life. Our inspections document granule loss and check attic ventilation, which is critical in this climate.
Coastal wind exposure in La Porte means fastener corrosion and flashing failure are top findings. We check every penetration and sealant joint.
Hill Country sun and hail age Fischer roofs fast. We inspect west-facing slopes for heat cracking and document hail damage for insurance when it applies.
Larger Colleyville homes often have complex rooflines with multiple valleys. We inspect each plane and check flashing at every wall and chimney intersection.
Boerne sits in a hail corridor with intense summer sun. We run test-square documentation and check for granule loss on sun-exposed slopes.
Manor's mix of new construction and older homes means we check workmanship on recent builds and decking condition on roofs over 15 years old.
Industrial and residential roofs in South Houston include many flat and low-slope systems. We check TPO membrane seams, drains, and ponding water.
Santa Fe properties near the coast deal with wind-driven rain and humidity. Our inspections focus on flashing, fasteners, and roof algae on shaded slopes.
Real answers to the questions we hear most often from local homeowners and property managers.
When an inspection shows the roof is past saving, we install new systems using GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed shingles with manufacturer-backed warranties. The inspection report becomes the scope of work, so nothing gets missed.
View Roof InstallationFull tear-off and replacement for roofs with widespread hail damage or shingles past their service life. We haul off the old material, replace any rotten decking we found during inspection, and install new underlayment and flashing.
View Roof ReplacementTargeted fixes for the specific defects an inspection uncovers: missing shingles, flashing failure, popped roofing nails, or damaged ridge vents. Most repairs are completed in a single visit and cost a fraction of replacement.
View Roof RepairIf your inspection found an active leak, we trace it to the entry point, not just the ceiling stain. That means checking flashing, pipe boots, and valleys before we seal anything, so the repair actually holds through the next storm.
View Roof Leak RepairStorm damage does not wait for business hours. When a tree limb opens your roof at 2 a.m., we tarp the affected area to stop water intrusion, then schedule the full inspection and permanent repair.
View Emergency Roofing ServicesAfter a Gulf storm or a North Texas squall, our inspection documents wind-lifted shingles and torn flashing for your claim, then we handle the repair work once the adjuster signs off.
