Granule loss, cracking, curling, and impact damage across the full roof, not just the spot you called about.
The joints around chimneys, vents, and valleys where hidden leaks most often start.
Leak Repair →An honest read on how much service life is left, so you can plan ahead instead of getting surprised.
Clogged or damaged gutters that back water up under the roofline — an easy miss from the ground.
We get on the roof rather than reading it from the driveway, and we photograph what we find. The things that decide a roof’s condition are the field of shingles — granule loss, bruising, cracking, lifted edges — the flashing around chimneys, skylights and vents where leaks almost always start, the ridge cap and the valleys where water concentrates and things fail first, and the gutters and fascia that keep water off the roofline.
You get the findings in writing with the photos attached, and then the plain-English version: what’s fine, what needs attention, what can reasonably wait, and whether an insurance claim is worth a conversation. Nothing gets added that you don’t need.
After any hail or wind event. After a new water stain shows up on a ceiling. Before you list or buy a home. And once a year as plain maintenance — ideally ahead of the South Texas hail season that runs March through June and can stretch into August.
Most homeowners only call a roofer once something is already leaking, and that is usually the expensive version of the same problem. A flashing separation caught during an inspection is a small repair; the same gap found after water has reached the decking can mean replacing whole sections of roof.
Timing matters for insurance too. Storm or hail damage often qualifies for a claim, and a dated, photographed report taken close to the storm is simply clearer evidence than one taken months later. Your policy — not state law — sets the terms that matter, so read it and talk to your carrier directly. We only document; we never file or negotiate a claim on your behalf.
You can safely look for obvious problems at ground level — missing shingles, sagging spots, debris buildup, granules in the gutters, dents on metal surfaces — and those are worth knowing about. What you cannot do safely is get up close on shingle condition, read a flashing separation, or check valley and ridge detail. Hail-bruised shingles can be slick and structurally compromised underfoot, which is exactly the surface a homeowner shouldn’t be standing on.
A free inspection gets you the same answer without the ladder. It costs nothing, there is no trip fee, and the written report and photos are included — whether we find something or not. We’d rather a San Antonio homeowner know the condition of their own roof than put it off over a fee.
We walk your roof top to bottom, photograph anything we find, and give you a written report — no phone estimates, because no honest roofer can quote a roof without seeing it.
After any storm, before buying or selling a home, or any time you notice a stain, a missing shingle, or just haven’t had the roof looked at in a few years. We cover the San Antonio metro from Selma, so getting out to you is not a scheduling ordeal. There’s no cost and no obligation either way.
If the inspection turns up storm or hail damage, that often qualifies for a claim — we document exactly what we find. We only document; we never file or negotiate a claim on your behalf.
Yes. Free roof inspections, no obligation to book any work afterward.
You can look from the ground safely, but a ladder inspection carries real fall risk and most damage — granule loss, lifted seals, minor flashing gaps — is hard to spot without training. A free professional inspection is the safer and more reliable option.
