A roof inspection in Dallas 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 Dallas 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. “Your roof is fine” is a result we deliver regularly. A clean report is useful too, especially when a home is changing hands.
Every inspection is documented with photos, and any estimate that comes out of it is free and written. If a claim follows, we never waive the deductible because Texas law forbids it, and we are not a public adjuster.
Why Dallas Homes Warrant Regular Roof Inspections
Local hail makes the post-storm inspection the one we perform most here. Hail of an inch or more has reached within 13 miles of Dallas in each of the last 20 years, on 77 days in all since 2006. A roof can take that kind of hit without leaking right away, and a documented inspection is how you find out.
Housing age makes the pre-purchase inspection just as useful. Dallas homes have a median build year of 1981, with 48 percent of the city’s units older than 1980, so a buyer is often looking at a house that may have been reroofed more than once. We inspect homes across Dallas County, including nearby Highland Park and University Park.

Common questions about roof inspection in Dallas
What does a roof inspection cost in Dallas?
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 Dallas?
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.
Does this work differ across Dallas neighborhoods?
Meaningfully. Deck age, prior re-roof quality, and permit specifics vary block to block in a city this varied. The written findings reflect your actual roof, not a citywide template.
How often does hail hit Dallas?
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 77 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger reported within 13 miles of Dallas, including 25 days with golf ball size stones or bigger. Hail that size was reported in 20 of the last 20 years. The most recent report was 1.5-inch hail on June 2, 2026.
