Quick Answer
A free roof inspection in San Antonio typically takes under an hour. The roofer checks the roof surface, flashing, vents, gutters, signs of storm damage, and often the attic for leaks and ventilation problems. You should get a clear explanation of what was found, photos if possible, and recommendations for repair, replacement, or no work at all.
What a Roofer Checks Outside
A thorough inspection covers more than just looking at shingles from a ladder.
- Roof surface: shingles, metal panels, or tile
- Hail and wind damage on all slopes
- Flashing around chimneys, walls, and skylights
- Pipe boots, vents, and other penetrations
- Ridge caps and trim
- Gutters and downspouts
- Signs of sagging or soft decking
What a Roofer Checks Inside
When possible, a roofer will look in the attic for water stains, wet insulation, daylight through the roof boards, and signs of poor ventilation like excessive heat or moisture.
Interior ceiling stains help show where leaks are coming from, even if the source is somewhere else on the roof.
What You Should Get Afterward
A good inspection ends with clear answers. You should know what condition the roof is in, what problems were found, and what your options are.
Photos are valuable, especially if storm damage is involved and you need to file an insurance claim.
When to Schedule an Inspection
Some times are especially good for a roof inspection, even if you have not noticed a problem.
- After any hail or high-wind storm
- Before buying or selling a home
- When your roof reaches 10 to 15 years old
- If you notice ceiling stains or attic moisture
- Before installing solar panels
- Once a year as routine maintenance
