What Happens During a Roof Inspection?
So, what is a roof inspection exactly? A roof inspection is a thorough assessment of your roof’s condition by a qualified professional, identifying damage, wear, and potential issues, and providing recommendations for maintenance, repairs, or replacement. A careful inspection checks everything from the granules that define the roof color and shingle condition, to the underlayment and flashing.
If issues are found, the inspector will try to determine what’s causing them, whether it’s weather, age, or something else. They’ll then provide recommendations for repairs, maintenance, or replacement, if needed. This will give you a clear picture of your roof’s condition, so you can plan and budget for any needed work.

- Curling or buckling shingles

Leaks and Water Damage
- Signs of water damage or leaks in your ceiling or walls
- Soft spots or sagging in your roof’s surface
- Evidence of animal or insect infestation (yes, it happens!)
Structural Issues

When Should I Have My Roof Inspection?
We know you’re busy exploring Plano’s parks and trails, enjoying the shops and restaurants on Parker Road, or simply spending time with family and friends. And the last thing you want to worry about is your roof.
But the truth is, your roof is working hard to protect you and your family from the Texas sun, heavy rain, and strong winds. And if it’s not properly maintained, you could be facing some serious consequences such as water damage, structural issues, and even safety hazards.
We recommend scheduling a roof inspection:
- After a storm: If you’ve recently weathered a severe storm in Plano, it’s a good idea to get your roof checked for damage. Our strong Texas winds and hail can cause damage, and we’ll help spot any potential issues before they become bigger problems.
- Before selling or buying a home: A pre-listing or pre-purchase inspection can help you identify and address any roof issues that might impact your sale or purchase. You’ll avoid last-minute repairs and potentially increase your home’s value.
- After a tornado or flood: If a tornado or flood has affected your Plano home, our team will help you assess the damage and develop a plan for repairs or replacement. We’ll work with you to ensure your roof is restored to its pre-disaster condition, safe and secure.
- When you notice signs of wear: If you’ve spotted missing shingles, curled or buckled shingles, or signs of animal infestation (yes, it happens!), it’s time for an inspection.
- As part of your regular home maintenance: We understand that life can get busy, and roof inspections might not be a priority. While annual check-ups are ideal, we recommend scheduling inspections at least every 2-3 years to ensure your roof remains in good condition and to catch any potential issues before they become major problems.
