Is the inspection really free?

Yes — for homeowners in our service area, every inspection is free with no obligation. Written reports with 30+ photos, no pressure, no upsell. We make money when you eventually hire us for work — not from inspection fees.

How long does a roof inspection take?

45–60 minutes on-site (roof walk + attic inspection + photo documentation). Written report delivered within 24 hours with findings, severity, and recommendations.

Should I get a San Antonio roof inspection after every hail storm?

If hail 1 inch+ fell at your address, yes — within 30 days of the event. This preserves your insurance claim window if damage is significant. Smaller hail events: not necessary unless you're seeing granules in gutters or visible damage.

What's the difference between your free inspection and a paid certified report?

Same inspection quality. Difference is the format and intended audience of the report. Free reports are written for the homeowner — clear language, photos, findings. Certified reports are formatted for legal or real-estate closing use — more formal language, specific certification statements, attorney/agent-facing format. Most homeowners don't need certified.

Can I get an inspection even if I don't plan to hire you?

Yes. About 20% of our inspections never convert to work — either because the roof is genuinely fine or because the homeowner decides to use someone else. That's expected. An honest inspection is worth doing regardless of the downstream work.

San Antonio Roof Inspection

A San Antonio roof inspection should be an honest assessment — not a sales pitch for a replacement you don't need. We offer free inspections across every Bexar County zip code with no obligation, no pressure, and no upsell culture. You get a 45–60 minute on-roof inspection, attic inspection, and 30+ photo written report within 24 hours. If your roof is fine, the report says so. If a targeted repair will solve the issue, we quote the repair. If replacement is genuinely warranted, we show you the photos that prove it before any conversation about estimates.

Why roof inspection matters in San Antonio

Most roof inspections in San Antonio are done badly — either rushed drive-bys that miss everything important, or aggressive upsell pitches designed to close replacement work whether needed or not. The industry deserves its bad reputation here. We built our inspection practice to be the opposite. The math works for us: an honest inspection that says 'your roof has 5 good years left' produces a customer who remembers that honesty when the roof does need replacement. The opposite approach — selling replacement to someone whose roof had 5 more years — produces one quick job and a permanent loss of referrals. San Antonio homeowners talk. Our inspection process is designed to find the truth efficiently. We know where SA roofs fail at each age: pipe boots at 8–12 years, chimney flashing at 10–15, valley underlayment at 12–18, shingle field granule loss accelerating at 15+. Inspection time goes to verifying which failure mode applies rather than hunting randomly. 30+ photos document what we found so you have evidence, not just opinion.

How we do roof inspection in San Antonio

San Antonio inspection protocol is consistent across every zip code. Step one: schedule 45–60 minute visit, typically within 3–5 business days (next-day for storm damage or active leaks). Step two: interior and attic walkthrough — we look at ceiling stain patterns, attic moisture signs, ventilation adequacy, visible decking condition from below. Step three: exterior roof walk — every slope, every penetration, every valley, every flashing point. We chalk-mark hail impacts per-slope if found; we photograph aging signatures and failure points. Step four: collateral damage check — gutters, downspouts, A/C fins, window screens for hail size verification if applicable. Step five: written report within 24 hours. Report format: overall roof age estimate, per-component condition ranking (excellent, good, fair, needs attention, needs immediate action), 30+ photos with captions, and specific recommendations with estimated costs where action is needed. Step six: follow-up phone call to walk through the report if you want to ask questions.

Common San Antonio scenarios we handle

San Antonio inspection calls fall into these patterns. (1) Post-storm inspection after hail or wind event — about 35% of inspections. Homeowner wants to know if damage qualifies for insurance claim. (2) Pre-replacement inspection on aging roofs where homeowner wants honest assessment of whether replacement is needed or how much life remains — about 25%. (3) Home buyer or seller inspection during real estate transaction — about 20%. Provides written documentation for transaction records. (4) Active-leak diagnostic where homeowner has a specific problem and needs it identified — about 15%. These often become repair quotes rather than pure inspections. (5) Annual or bi-annual preventive inspection on older roofs (15+ years) where the homeowner wants to catch small issues before they compound — about 5%.
