Roof Inspection in San Antonio: an honest look, no upsell.
Whether it's after a hailstorm, before a home sale, or just because your roof is getting up there in years, we'll get on it, document everything, and tell you the truth.
What we look at (and why)
A real roof inspection isn't a glance from the driveway. It's a full walk of every slope, an attic check for daylight and moisture, and a look at every penetration and flashing detail — because those are where roofs actually fail.
We inspect the field of the roof (shingle condition, granule loss, cracking, hail bruising), all flashing (valleys, sidewalls, chimneys, skylights), every penetration (vent pipes, exhaust boots, satellite mounts), ridge and hip caps, gutter and drip-edge condition, and the attic — where a good inspector spots problems before they show up on your ceiling.
You get a photo-documented report with plain-language findings. Not a pitch. If the roof is fine, we'll tell you it's fine.
Different reasons, different depth.
Not every inspection is the same. Here's what we typically do for each scenario:
Storm damage inspection
After hail or high wind. Focus on impact marks, lifted shingles, and flashing damage — with documentation formatted for insurance.
Pre-purchase inspection
For buyers or their agents. Remaining useful life estimate, condition report, and a heads-up on any deferred maintenance you'd inherit.
Annual / preventive inspection
For homeowners keeping ahead of problems. Small fixes now beat a leak later — and we'll catch failing boots and flashing before they cost you a ceiling.

Inspection pricing
Our standard homeowner inspection is free. Detailed pre-purchase inspections (written report suitable for use in a real-estate transaction) run $150–$300 depending on home size.
We don't charge for storm-damage inspections. If the roof qualifies for a claim, we'll walk you through next steps at no cost.
What affects the number
- Home size and roof complexity
- Type of report required (informal vs. formal written)
- Whether attic access is available
- Location within our service area
Do I need a roof inspection after a hailstorm?
Yes, if hail fell on your house, even when the roof looks fine from the driveway. Hail bruising rarely shows from the ground, and it is the damage you cannot see that leaks a year later.
Quick check you can do yourself: look for dented gutters, downspouts, or window screens, dings on the AC condenser fins, and granules piling at the bottom of downspouts. Any of those means the roof took hits too.
Timing matters because most policies expect damage to be reported within a set window after the storm date. Waiting a couple of seasons makes it harder for anyone to say which storm did what.
If we get up there and the roof is undamaged, we will tell you that and leave. That is a normal outcome of these calls, not a failed visit.
Is a free roof inspection actually free?
Ours is, with no obligation and no work required afterward. Our standard homeowner inspection and storm inspection both cost nothing, and you keep the photos and the findings either way.
There is one paid version, and we say so up front: a formal pre-purchase inspection with a written report suitable for a real estate transaction runs $150 to $300 depending on home size. That is a different product with a different deliverable.
The fair question behind this one is whether free means a sales pitch. Sometimes in this industry it does. The tell is a roofer who finds a replacement on every roof, pressures you to sign the day of, or asks for a contingency signature before you have seen the photos.
Our version is simple. We inspect, we show you what we found, and if the roof is fine we say so. Our work comes from neighbors talking to neighbors, and that only holds up if we are honest on the free visit.
Questions we hear often.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes, for standard homeowner inspections. There's no obligation to hire us for any repair or replacement work afterward.
Will you tell me the roof is fine, or is this a sales call?
If your roof is fine, we'll tell you it's fine. Our business runs on referrals from neighbors — talking people into work they don't need is the fastest way to kill that.
Can I use your report for an insurance claim?
Yes. Our storm inspection reports are formatted with the documentation carriers ask for — dated photos, damage per slope, and a summary letter.
How often should I have my roof inspected?
Once a year is ideal in Central Texas, plus a spot check after any major hail or wind event. It's the single easiest way to keep small problems small.
