A roof inspection in Arlington 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 Arlington 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. The inspection is free, the findings come to you in writing with photos, and “your roof is fine” is a result we deliver regularly. If there is damage, we show it to you. We never waive deductibles, since Texas law bans the practice, and we are not a public adjuster, so we report condition and leave policy questions to you and your carrier.
How Often Arlington Roofs Need a Second Look
More often than most homeowners guess. Public records show hail of 1 inch or larger within 9 miles of Arlington in 15 of the last 20 years, with 41 separate hail days since 2006. Damage from hail that size is easy to miss from the ground. The largest stones on record, 5.0 inches, fell on June 12, 2023.
Age raises the stakes. The median Arlington home was built in 1986, and 33 percent were built before 1980, so many roofs here sit over decking and flashing that has seen several re-roofs. An inspection separates real storm damage from normal wear, which matters in Tarrant County claims. We inspect in Pantego, Dalworthington Gardens, and the rest of the area on the same schedule.

Common questions about roof inspection in Arlington
What does a roof inspection cost in Arlington?
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 Arlington?
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 Arlington 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 Arlington?
