Free Roof Inspections in Texas
Comprehensive roof and attic inspections at no cost. Honest assessments, written reports with photos, and zero pressure. Serving all of Central Texas from Austin to San Antonio.
What's Included in Our Free Inspection
A Stanley Built roof inspection is not a quick glance from the ground with binoculars. We get on your roof, walk every square foot, and then go into your attic to check for hidden damage that most contractors skip entirely. Whether you are in Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, or anywhere across Texas, our inspection process is the same: thorough, documented, and completely free.
Every inspection covers two critical areas that together give a complete picture of your roof's health.
Exterior Surface Inspection
- Shingles: We check every slope for cracking, curling, blistering, missing shingles, granule loss, and hail impact damage. We photograph all findings.
- Flashing: Every chimney, wall junction, dormer, valley, and roof transition gets inspected for cracked sealant, rusted metal, lifted edges, or improper installation.
- Vents & Pipe Boots: Rubber vent boots crack under Central Texas UV exposure and are one of the most common leak sources. We inspect every penetration on the roof.
- Gutters & Fascia: Excessive granules in gutters indicate shingle deterioration. We also check for sagging, pulling away from the fascia board, and proper drainage.
- Ridge Caps & Hip Shingles: These take the heaviest wind and UV abuse. Cracked or missing ridge caps compromise the ventilation system and allow water entry.
Attic Inspection
- Leak Evidence: Water stains on rafters and decking, active dripping, and daylight penetration all indicate active or past leaks that need attention.
- Moisture & Mold: Condensation, mold growth, and damp insulation point to ventilation failures or slow leaks that surface inspections alone cannot detect.
- Ventilation: Inadequate attic ventilation drives attic temperatures above 150 degrees in Texas summers, cooking shingles from below and cutting years off their life.
- Insulation: We note insulation type, depth, and condition. Compressed or wet insulation reduces energy efficiency and can indicate chronic moisture problems.
After the inspection, you receive a written report with photos documenting everything we found. If your roof is in good shape, we will tell you. If there is damage that warrants a roof repair or a full roof replacement, we will explain exactly what is needed, why, and what it costs. No pressure, no upselling, no manufactured urgency.
Types of Roof Inspections We Perform
Different situations require different levels of documentation and focus. Whether you are checking for storm damage after a hailstorm or preparing to sell your home, we tailor the inspection to match your needs.
Post-Storm Damage Assessment
After hail, wind, or severe weather, we document all damage with photos and measurements for your insurance claim. We identify damage patterns that adjusters look for and provide a detailed scope of work.
Annual Preventative Inspection
A yearly check before storm season catches small problems before they become expensive. We identify worn vent boots, cracked sealant, and early granule loss so you can address issues on your schedule.
Pre-Purchase / Real Estate Inspection
Buying or selling a home? Know the true condition of the roof before closing. We provide a written report that helps buyers negotiate and gives sellers confidence in their asking price.
Insurance Documentation Inspection
We document existing conditions for insurance purposes, including age, material type, condition rating, and remaining useful life. This report supports claims, appeals, and policy renewals.
Warranty Inspection
Most manufacturer warranties require the homeowner to maintain the roof in reasonable condition. We verify warranty compliance and catch issues that could void your coverage if left unaddressed.
Maintenance Check
Part of our preventative maintenance program, this inspection identifies debris buildup, sealant failures, and early-stage wear before they lead to leaks or expensive repairs.
When to Get Your Roof Inspected
Most homeowners only think about their roof when something goes wrong. By then, a problem that could have been caught with a simple inspection has grown into a major expense. Here are the situations where a free inspection can save you thousands.
If any of these situations apply to you, schedule your free inspection today. The sooner we catch a problem, the less it costs to fix. Homeowners across Georgetown, Lakeway, Kyle, and Buda trust us because we tell them the truth, even when the truth is that their roof is fine.
What We Look for During an Inspection
Our inspectors know exactly what damage looks like on every type of roofing material we work with across Texas. Here is what we check for on every inspection, and why it matters.
Hail Damage Indicators
Hail damage is not always obvious. We check soft metals first because they show impact clearly. Dimples on HVAC units, fence caps, mailboxes, and gutter downspouts confirm hail was large enough to damage your roof. On the shingles themselves, we look for circular depressions, cracked shingle surfaces, exposed fiberglass mat beneath the granule layer, and random-pattern bruising that distinguishes hail from foot traffic or other mechanical damage. If we find evidence of storm damage, we document everything for your insurance claim.
Wind Damage Indicators
Wind damage appears as lifted shingle edges with broken adhesive seals, creased shingles that have been bent back and flattened, missing shingles that have blown off entirely, exposed nail heads where shingles have shifted, torn or peeled-back flashing, and damaged ridge caps at the roof peak. Straight-line winds from Central Texas derechos can exceed 60 to 80 miles per hour without a tornado ever touching down.
UV and Age Deterioration
Years of relentless Texas sun break down roofing materials from the top. We look for curling shingle edges, cracking in the shingle body, widespread granule loss that leaves dark patches of exposed asphalt, and blistering where trapped moisture has expanded under heat. A roof that looks old from the ground often looks much worse up close.
Flashing and Penetration Failures
Every pipe, vent, chimney, wall junction, and skylight is a potential leak point. We check for cracked caulk and sealant that has dried out, rusted or corroded metal flashing, gaps between flashing and the roof surface, and rubber vent boots that have split or deteriorated. These are among the most common causes of roof leaks and the easiest to fix when caught early through a targeted repair.
Ventilation Assessment
Poor attic ventilation is a silent roof killer in Texas. Without adequate intake at the soffits and exhaust at the ridge, attic temperatures climb above 150 degrees in summer, cooking shingles from below and accelerating deterioration. We check intake and exhaust balance, look for blocked soffit vents, and measure attic temperature when accessible. Fixing ventilation issues is one of the most impactful things you can do to extend the life of your roof through proper roof maintenance.

Central Texas Storm Season
Central Texas sits in one of the most active severe weather corridors in the country. Understanding when and how storms strike helps you protect your home and your investment.
March through June is peak hail season. Supercell thunderstorms develop along the I-35 corridor and regularly produce golf ball to baseball-sized hail. A single hailstorm can damage thousands of roofs across Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, and San Marcos in a matter of minutes. Many homeowners do not realize their roof has been damaged until a leak appears months later.
Summer and early fall bring straight-line winds from powerful thunderstorms and, occasionally, remnants of tropical storms and hurricanes from the Gulf. These events produce sustained high winds that lift shingles, tear off ridge caps, and scatter debris across roofs.
Winter brings occasional ice storms that, while rare in Texas, can cause significant damage to roofing systems not designed for ice loading. The freeze events of 2021 and 2023 demonstrated that even Texas roofs need to handle extreme cold occasionally.
After any significant weather event, we offer free storm damage inspections to homeowners across all 73+ cities we serve, from Austin to Houston to Galveston. Remember, most Texas insurance policies have a one-year deadline from the date of the storm to file a hail damage claim. Do not let that window close without having your roof inspected.
Roof Inspection Questions
Common questions from Central Texas homeowners about our free roof inspections.
Yes, 100% free with absolutely no obligation. We inspect your roof and attic, provide a written report with photos, and give you an honest assessment. Whether your roof needs nothing, a small repair, or a full replacement, you get the truth at no cost. We never charge for inspections and we never pressure you to buy.
A thorough inspection typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on your roof size and complexity. This includes walking the entire exterior surface, inspecting every penetration and flashing point, checking the attic, and reviewing all findings with you in person. We do not rush inspections because missed damage costs you money.
We recommend being home so we can walk you through our findings and answer questions in person. However, we can perform the exterior inspection without you present and share results by phone or email afterward. The attic inspection does require someone at home to let us inside.
We document everything with photos and provide a written report explaining what we found, why it matters, and what your options are. For minor issues, we give a repair estimate. For storm damage that qualifies for insurance, we walk you through the claims process. If your roof is fine, we tell you that honestly. We never invent problems to create sales.
We recommend at least once per year before Central Texas storm season in March, plus after any significant hail or wind event. Roofs older than 10 years benefit from inspections twice a year in spring and fall. Regular inspections are the single most effective way to extend your roof's lifespan and avoid expensive surprise repairs.
Yes. We inspect commercial flat roofs, built-up roofing, TPO, and metal roofing systems for businesses across Texas. Commercial inspections follow the same thorough process and include a detailed written report. Call us at (832) 864-5187 to schedule.
