A roof inspection in Allen 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.
When to book a roof inspection in Allen: 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. Every inspection is documented with photos, and any work we recommend comes with a free written estimate. “Your roof is fine” is a result we deliver regularly. If there is storm damage, we explain what we found, but we are not a public adjuster, and Texas law means we never waive a deductible.
Inspection Timing for Allen Homes
Allen’s median home was built in 2003, so a large share of roofs across the city are well past that first decade. Another 27 percent of homes date from 2010 or later, and for many of those owners the first inspection comes after the first serious hailstorm.
Storm history is the other trigger. Within 6 miles of Allen, hail an inch or larger has fallen on 27 days since 2006 and in 13 of the last 20 years, including 12 golf-ball days and a 4.5-inch stone on March 24, 2019. Hail damage to shingles is easy to miss from the ground, so a documented inspection after each of those events gives Collin County homeowners a clear record for any claim. We inspect roofs in Plano and Fairview too.

Common questions about roof inspection in Allen
What does a roof inspection cost in Allen?
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 Allen?
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.
Will this work void our builder's warranty in Allen?
Properly documented work doesn't, and our written findings and scopes are built to keep your builder-warranty file intact. What actually endangers coverage is undocumented storm patching, which we don't do.
