Free Roof Inspection in Dallas-Fort Worth

Who a roof inspection is for

A roof inspection is for any homeowner who wants facts about their roof. You do not need a leak to book one. You do not need to be ready to buy anything.

Here are good reasons to book one in Dallas-Fort Worth:

• Hail or high wind came through. You want to know what it did.
• You have a leak or a stain on the ceiling. You want to find the source.
• Your roof is getting older. You want to plan before there is a problem.
• Another roofer said you need a new roof. You want to see the evidence.
• You are buying or selling a home. You want the roof's condition on record.

In every case, you get the same thing. You get a photo report of the whole roof that is yours to keep.

What we check, step by step

1. You book a time. Use the form or call us. We call you back within 15 minutes, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday through Friday
2. We photograph every slope. No side of the roof is skipped, including the ones you cannot see from the street.
3. We photograph the flashing. Flashing seals the joints where the roof meets walls and chimneys.
4. We photograph vents and pipe boots. These are the seals around the openings in your roof.
5. We photograph the ridge caps. These are the shingles along the peak.
6. We check for soft decking. Decking is the wood under the shingles. A soft spot can point to moisture.
7. We take measurements when there is storm damage. We inspect and document storm damage with photos and measurements.
8. We walk you through the photos. We show you what we found before we recommend anything.
9. You keep the report. It is yours whether or not you hire us.

The sample report

You can see what the report looks like before you book. This is the sample.

The full version is on our sample inspection report page. Your own report will show your roof, with your photos, in the same layout.

Materials and options: what happens after the inspection

The photos lead to one of three results. We tell you which one, and we show you why.

Your roof is fine

Sometimes the answer is good news. If the photos show a sound roof, we say so. Keep the report as a record of the roof's condition on that date.

A repair is enough

If the photos show a problem in one area, we give you a free written estimate for a roof repair. Each line is listed. Nothing is a lump sum.

The roof needs replacing

If the photos show damage or wear across the roof, we quote a roof replacement. The quote is written and line-item. Every replacement quote leads with a Class 4 impact-resistant option.

You can read about that option on our impact-resistant Class 4 shingles page. For price ranges, see our roof replacement cost guide.

The proof you get

Our guarantee is called Show-You-First. If we recommend it, we show you the photo. If we cannot show you photo evidence for a recommended repair, that line comes off the quote.

Is the roof inspection really free?

Yes. There is no charge for the visit or the report. You keep the photo report whether or not you hire us.

We do this because photos are how we earn work. A homeowner who can see the roof makes a better decision. Sometimes that decision is to do nothing, and that is fine.

Why photos matter

It is hard to see your own roof up close. That makes it hard to judge what a roofer says. Photos fix that problem.

With a photo report, you can:

• See each slope and each problem area yourself.
• Show the same photos to another roofer and compare answers.
• Share the photos with your insurer if you file a claim.
• Keep a dated record of the roof's condition.

A written report also protects you from a vague diagnosis. If a roofer cannot show you the damage, ask why.

Roof inspection after hail

Hail season in Dallas-Fort Worth runs mostly from March through June. That pattern comes from National Weather Service hail reports for five local counties.

After hail, the Texas Department of Insurance advises homeowners to take a few steps:

• File a claim as soon as you can, if you plan to file one.
• Get more than one bid.
• Check references and Better Business Bureau complaints.
• Never sign a contract with blank spaces.
• Do not pay in full up front.

A photo inspection supports each step. It gives you a record to share and a written estimate to compare. Our hail and storm damage page covers storm visits in more detail.

If you file a claim, the roles are clear. You file the claim. Your insurer decides coverage and the amount. We build the roof. Our insurance claims page explains the process in Texas.

How to check any roofer in Texas

Texas does not license roofing contractors at the state level. Anyone can call themselves a roofer here. So the proof a roofer gives you matters more than the title.

Ask every roofer the same questions:

1. Will I get photos of the whole roof?
2. Is the quote in writing, with every line listed?
3. How long is the price good for?
4. When is payment due?
5. Will I get photos of the work as it is done?
6. Is the warranty in writing?

Here are our answers. Every inspection ends with a photo report. Every quote is written and line-item, and it is price-locked for 30 days.

No payment is due until materials are delivered and work begins. Every install is photographed from tear-off to final cleanup. Our warranty terms are on the reviews and warranty page.

How to get ready for the visit

You do not need to do much. A few small things help:

• Tell us about any leaks, stains or past repairs.
• Tell us the date of any recent storm, if you know it.
• Let us know about gates or pets, so we can reach the whole roof.
• Plan a few minutes at the end to go through the photos with us.

Please stay off the roof yourself. We take the photos so you do not have to climb.
