A roof inspection in Garland gives you written findings with photos instead of a verbal opinion in the driveway: shingle condition, flashing, decking as visible, ventilation, and storm evidence. Ours are free, with no obligation attached.
Book a roof inspection in Garland after any significant hail or wind event, before buying or selling a home, when a ceiling stain appears, or as routine due diligence once a roof passes its first decade under DFW sun. We walk the roof, photograph what we find, and give you the results in writing. “Your roof is fine” is a result we deliver regularly. Any estimate we write is free, we never waive deductibles because Texas law prohibits it, and we are not public adjusters.
Garland Homes and the Case for an Inspection
Garland’s housing skews older. The median year built is 1978, 55 percent of homes predate 1980, and just 10 percent were built in 2010 or later. On an older house the roof may not be the original, it may have been installed by different crews at different times, and an inspection sorts out which issues come from age and which are recent.
Hail is the other reason to look. Hail an inch or larger has fallen within 7 miles of Garland in 16 of the last 20 years, and the largest stone recorded was 2.5 inches on June 2, 2017. Damage from a moderate storm is often invisible from the ground. We inspect homes across Dallas County, including Rowlett and Murphy.

Common questions about roof inspection in Garland
What does a roof inspection cost in Garland?
Nothing. Inspections are free, documented with photos, and delivered as written findings. No obligation follows.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
For the exterior and roof, no. Attic access needs someone home. We schedule around you either way and walk you through what we found.
Can you inspect a roof before I buy a house in Garland?
Yes. A roof-specific pre-purchase inspection tells you actual remaining life and any storm history the disclosure may not capture. It is cheap leverage in a home purchase.
Do mature trees around our Garland home affect the roof?
Constantly. Canopy debris loads gutters and valleys, branches abrade shingles in every wind event, and shade-side slopes hold moisture longer. Trimming to clearance and keeping drainage clear are the two cheapest roof-life extensions in established neighborhoods.
How often does hail hit Garland?
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 37 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger reported within 7 miles of Garland, including 12 days with golf ball size stones or bigger. Hail that size was reported in 16 of the last 20 years. The most recent report was 2-inch hail on April 27, 2026.

The median home in Garland was built in 1978, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey. 55% of the city's housing units predate 1980 and 10% were built in 2010 or later. Most homes here are well past the life of their original roof.
