A roof inspection in University Park 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 one in University Park: 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.
We work across all of University Park and the surrounding DFW communities. Estimates are free and written, inspections are documented with photos, and Texas’s insurance rules get followed to the letter: we never waive deductibles and we are not public adjusters.
Roofing in University Park, specifically
University Park roofing runs at the premium end of the DFW market. That means larger and more complex roof geometries, a higher share of tile, slate-profile, metal, and premium composite systems, and architectural review processes that put material decisions in front of an HOA or design authority before a crew is ever scheduled. The insurance picture is distinctive too: high dwelling values in Dallas County usually mean percentage-based wind and hail deductibles, which changes the claim math and makes impact-rated systems and documented condition baselines worth genuinely more here.
The same crews cover Dallas, Irving and Garland, which keeps University Park scheduling flexible when storm weeks compress everyone’s calendar.

Hail near University Park
Reported hail is less frequent around University Park: NOAA lists 12 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger within 4 miles. Fewer reports can also reflect fewer storm spotters in smaller communities, so a quiet record is not a guarantee. Hail that size was reported in 7 of the last 20 years. The largest stones on record nearby measured 2.75 inches (baseball size) on June 13, 2012. The most recent report: 1-inch hail on May 23, 2026.

Common questions about roof inspection in University Park
What does a roof inspection cost in University Park?
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 University Park?
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.
How does a percentage deductible change our University Park claim?
On high dwelling values, a 1–2% wind/hail deductible is a five-figure number, which changes when filing makes sense and makes impact-rated roofing and documented baselines worth genuinely more. We walk that math before storm season, not after.
How often does hail hit University Park?
NOAA lists 12 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger within 4 miles of University Park. Smaller communities have fewer storm spotters, so reports tend to undercount what actually falls. The most recent report was 1-inch hail on May 23, 2026.
How old are most homes in University Park?
The median home in University Park was built in 1990, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey. 37% of the city's housing units predate 1980 and 18% were built in 2010 or later. Many homes here are reaching the age when original roofs come due.
