Free Roof Inspection in Plano TX
A professional roof inspection is the only reliable way to know the true condition of your roof. Ground-level assessment ā even with binoculars ā misses the most important damage indicators: granule loss patterns, bruising from hail, flashing gaps, and decking deterioration that only become visible from the roof surface itself.
Our Plano roof inspectors are trained to assess every component of your roofing system and produce a written report that is useful for insurance claims, home sales, maintenance planning, or simply your own peace of mind. The inspection is free with no obligation to purchase any services.
Shingle Assessment
Granule loss, bruising, cracking, curling ā every square foot checked on the roof surface.
Flashing Check
Chimney, skylight, vent, and valley flashing ā most common source of Plano roof leaks.
Attic & Ventilation
Moisture, insulation, and ventilation ā critical for roof longevity in North Texas heat.
What Our Plano TX Roof Inspection Covers
Shingle Condition Assessment
We examine every section of your roof surface for:
- Granule loss ā quantity, pattern, and distribution indicating age and hail history
- Cracking, curling, and cupping ā indicating age-related material failure
- Missing shingles ā from wind, improper nailing, or storm impact
- Hail bruising ā impact points indicating hail events that may qualify for insurance claims
- Algae and moss growth ā indicating moisture retention and shingle deterioration

- Valley flashing ā open or closed valley condition and sealant integrity
- Wall-to-roof transitions ā step flashing and kick-out flashing condition

Gutter and Drainage Assessment
Gutters are both a drainage system and a diagnostic tool. We check:
- Gutter attachment and slope ā proper drainage prevents fascia rot and foundation issues
- Granule accumulation ā amount and distribution indicating shingle condition
- Downspout discharge ā ensuring drainage away from foundation
- Gutter condition ā holes, separations, and overflow indicators
- Hail denting on gutters ā provides evidence of hail size for insurance

We look for indicators of structural issues including:
