Is a roof inspection more thorough than a general home inspection?

Usually, yes. A general home inspector often will not spend dedicated time on the roof because of access, liability, and schedule. We get on the roof, photograph deficiencies, and put condition, remaining life, and a written repair estimate in a PDF you can send to a buyer, an adjuster, or yourself.

When should I schedule a residential roof inspection in Houston?

Before you buy or sell, after a hail or wind event, or if the roof is approaching typical shingle age. Putting off a minor repair is how Texas weather turns it into a replacement. We inspect from the Katy office.

What do I receive after the inspection?

A PDF report with photos tied to each finding, notes on material type and remaining life, and — if work is needed — a detailed written estimate. You are not left with a vague “call a roofer.”

Do you charge for a residential roof inspection?

Inspections are free. If you need repairs or a replacement, the estimate is attached to the report so you can decide on your timeline with no pressure on the roof.

Residential Roof Inspections

Whether you are buying, selling, appraising, or renovating, the condition of the roof can change the status of the sale. Our inspectors determine the general condition of the roof, its life expectancy, and the maintenance or repairs that are actually needed.

A general home inspector often will not do a thorough roof inspection — liability, access, and time get in the way. We get on the roof, photograph deficiencies, and put it in a PDF you can forward. If repairs or maintenance are needed, the report comes with a detailed written estimate.

Roofs are easy to ignore until they leak. Putting off a minor repair is how you buy a major one.

Why it matters

What sets our roof inspections work apart

Texas weather, occupancy, and the way the last roof was built all change the spec. These are the details we will not skip.

PDF reports with photos

Every condition is notated and tied to a digital photo. Whoever does the repair — us or someone else — has a clear outline of what needs to happen.

More than a home inspection

We inspect roof materials, chimneys, flashings, accessories, scuppers, gutters, and downspouts — the spots a drive-by inspection never sees.

Tied to a real estimate

If work is needed, you do not get a vague “call a roofer.” You get a written estimate next to the findings so you can decide on a timeline.
