Roof inspections in Conroe — free, photographed, and honest about what we find
For a leak, a storm, a home sale or an insurer asking about roof age: we walk the roof and the attic, photograph everything, and give you a written report that says repair, replace, or leave it alone.
Half the roofs we inspect in Conroe don't need anything. We'll say so in writing, because a roofer who finds a problem on every roof isn't inspecting, he's selling. The other half fall into a few buckets: the roof that took hail or wind and should be a claim; the roof with a real repair — a boot, a flashing, a valley; the 18-year-old roof that's fine today and will need replacing in two or three years, which is useful to know before you refinance; and the roof a home inspector flagged during a sale that needs a roofer's opinion, not a generalist's.
Our inspection covers the roof surface (every slope walked where it's safe, drone where it isn't), the penetrations and flashings, the ridge and hips, the gutters and fascia, and the attic — because the attic is where you see the decking stains, the daylight through a nail hole, the mold on the north rafters and the ventilation problem that's shortening the roof's life. You get photos of all of it and a written report within a day. For home sales and insurance renewals, that report is what the underwriter or the buyer's agent asks for.
What's included
Roof surface & penetrations
Every slope, every boot, vent, skylight and flashing; drone photos where the pitch is too steep to walk.
Hail & wind assessment
Chalk test squares and seal checks after storms, with hit counts and photos for a claim decision.
Attic inspection
Decking, rafters, insulation, ventilation and moisture checked from below — where most problems show first.
Gutters, fascia & soffit
Debris, sag, rot and overflow marks noted; soffit intake checked for the ventilation the roof depends on.
Written report with photos
Findings, remaining-life estimate, and repair-or-replace recommendation, delivered within a business day.
Home-sale & renewal reports
Formatted for buyers, agents and underwriters — roof age, condition, material and estimated remaining life.

Questions we get about roof inspections
Are roof inspections really free?
Yes, when you're deciding about a repair, a replacement or a storm claim. If you need a formal written report for a sale, a refinance or an insurance renewal and we're not doing any work, it's $175, and we waive it if you hire us for the work it recommends.
My insurer wants to know my roof age. Can you tell?
Usually within a few years from the shingle style, granule condition, the vent styles and any permit or builder records. We'll put it in writing with photos, which is what underwriters ask for when a policy is up for renewal on a home over 15 years old.
Should I get an inspection before buying a house in Conroe?
Yes, separately from the general home inspection. Home inspectors look at roofs from a ladder or the ground and note 'recommend roofer evaluate' on most homes over 10 years old. We'll walk it, go in the attic, and tell your agent what it needs and what it'll cost — leverage you want before closing.
How often should a Conroe roof be inspected?
Once a year and after any hailstorm. The Texas sun and the spring hail season mean a roof here ages faster than the label says; catching a cracked boot or a lifted course early is a $400 fix, not a $4,000 ceiling.
Do you use drones?
Yes, for steep, tall or fragile roofs and for overview photos. A drone can't check a shingle's seal or a boot's rubber, so where it's safe we walk the roof too.
Will you try to sell me a roof?
We'll tell you what we found and what it costs to fix. If the roof is fine, the report says fine. Plenty of our replacement customers first met us during an inspection that said 'not yet.'
