A roof inspection in Carrollton 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 Carrollton 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 comes with a free written estimate if work is needed. “Your roof is fine” is a result we deliver regularly. Deductibles are never waived, because Texas law forbids it, and we are not public adjusters.
Reading a Carrollton roof’s age and storm history
The first-decade guideline covers most of the city. Only 16% of Carrollton housing was built in 2010 or later, the median home dates to 1988, and 26% predates 1980, so most houses here are well past that mark, even if the roof on top has been replaced since.
Storm triggers come often, too. Hail an inch or larger has fallen within 6 miles on 26 days since 2006, and 13 of the last 20 years had such a day. Golf-ball-size hail showed up on 11 of those days, and the biggest stone measured 3.0 inches on June 6, 2018. An inspection after an event like that tells you where the roof stands before any claim conversation starts. We inspect in Coppell and Farmers Branch on the same schedule.

Common questions about roof inspection in Carrollton
What does a roof inspection cost in Carrollton?
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 Carrollton?
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 Carrollton 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 Carrollton?
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 26 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger reported within 6 miles of Carrollton, including 11 days with golf ball size stones or bigger. Hail that size was reported in 13 of the last 20 years. The most recent report was 1.5-inch hail on May 23, 2026.
