Detailed Roof Inspections For Your Home In San Antonio

Holmes Roofing & Exterior Solutions provides free roof inspections across the San Antonio metro from our Selma, TX home base. We are a GAF-certified, family-owned local crew — licensed with the City of San Antonio (HIC-24-00928) and insured — with a 5.0-star Google rating from local homeowners. A roof inspection with Holmes costs nothing. We get on the roof, document what we find with photos, and tell you honestly whether repairs are needed, what can wait, and whether an insurance claim makes sense. Nothing is added on that you don’t need. If you want to know the condition of your roof — before buying a home, after a storm, or simply as part of annual home maintenance — call (210) 440-1013, Monday-Saturday 9am-6pm.

What happens during a free roof inspection with Holmes?

We start from the ground and move to the roof. Before anyone climbs, we check for visible signs at ground level: granules collecting in gutters, dents on downspouts and vents, dark patches or sagging visible from the yard. On the roof, we inspect the field of shingles for granule loss, bruising, cracking, and lifted edges; the flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents where leaks almost always start; the ridge cap and valleys where water concentrates; and the gutters and fascia that protect your roofline from water intrusion. Inside, if you give us access to your attic, we check for daylight, moisture staining, or compromised decking. At the end, we walk you through every photo we took and give you a plain-English summary — what’s fine, what needs attention, and what the options are.

How much does a roof inspection cost in San Antonio?

Holmes roof inspections are free. There is no trip fee and no charge for the written report and photos. The inspection is how we earn your trust — if we find something that needs fixing, we quote the repair; if we find nothing, we tell you that too. Some national roofing companies charge $150-$350 for inspections, citing liability or roof access costs. We believe a local homeowner should never have to pay just to know the condition of their roof. The free inspection is also how we help you build the documentation an insurance adjuster will want to see after a storm. If you’ve been told you need an inspection before you can file a claim, call us — we handle that at no charge.

When should I schedule a roof inspection?

Schedule an inspection after any hail or wind event, after a visible leak or new water stain on a ceiling, before listing or purchasing a home, and once a year as routine maintenance — especially before South Texas’s March-through-June hail season. Most homeowners only call a roofer when something is already leaking, but catching damage early almost always costs less than waiting. A small flashing separation caught in an inspection might be a minor repair; the same gap found after water has reached the decking can mean replacing entire sections of roof. Inspections also matter for your insurance: Texas gives you up to three years to file a hail damage claim, but carriers approve claims more readily when damage is documented close to the storm event.

Will my insurance cover roof repairs found during an inspection?

It depends entirely on the cause. Texas homeowners policies generally cover damage caused by hail, wind, fire, or other sudden events — not gradual deterioration or maintenance issues. If the inspection finds storm damage, we photograph and document everything, and that documentation is exactly what your insurance adjuster will need to evaluate a claim. Texas is a replacement-cost-value state, meaning an approved claim pays what it costs to restore the roof today, not its depreciated value. You have up to three years to file a hail damage claim in Texas, but moving promptly makes approval more straightforward. One important note: Texas law (HB 2102) makes it illegal for a roofer to offer to pay or waive your deductible. Any contractor making that offer is breaking state law. Holmes never does this.
