Roof Inspection in Lakeway, TX
A free roof inspection in Lakeway, TX with a written photo report, whether the roof turns out to need work or not. The report is yours to keep and to use with any contractor, including one that is not us.
The report is worth more than the verdict. Every inspection ends with dated photos and a written summary of what we found, what needs doing now and what can wait. If the roof is fine, the report says so.
When an Inspection Is Worth Booking
After hail or high wind
Damage often does not leak for months, and by then tying it to a storm date is difficult.
Before buying or selling
The roof is one of the biggest items in a negotiation, and neither side wants to discover it at closing.
When the roof passes fifteen years
Not because it is failing, but to have a baseline while it is still sound.
At a ceiling stain, even a dry one
Stains do not clear up on their own. Something put water there.
Before a solar install
Panels on a roof with a few years left means paying to remove and reinstall them later.
What Gets Checked
The open field of the roof is the easy part. Most of the inspection is spent on the places that actually fail.
| Area | What we look for |
|---|---|
| Flashing | Chimney, sidewall, step and counter flashing, the most common leak source on any roof |
| Valleys | Wear, debris and defects where the most water runs |
| Penetrations | Pipe boots split by the sun, backed-out fasteners, skylight flashing |
| Roof surface | Granule loss, bruising, lifted or creased tabs, slipped or cracked tile |
| Ridge and edges | Lifted ridge caps and loose edge metal, where wind damage starts |
| Attic and ventilation | Daylight, stained decking, and whether the attic can breathe or is cooking the roof from below |
| Gutters and soft metals | Dents that confirm hail, and drainage that sends water where it should not go |
What You Get Afterwards
A written report with dated photographs: what we found, what needs doing now, what can reasonably wait, and an itemized quote if the roof needs work. Free, with no obligation. If the roof is fine, the report says so. We would rather tell you that and be the company you call in three years than sell you something today.
The Part Most Homeowners Skip
The most valuable thing an inspection produces is not the verdict. It is the dated photo file. The most common reason a storm claim gets reduced is not dishonesty; it is that nobody can show what the roof looked like before the storm, so storm damage and ordinary wear become a matter of opinion. A file of dated photographs turns that argument into a comparison, and it costs you nothing to build. After a storm, see Storm damage roof repair Lakeway and Lakeway roof insurance claims.

Roof Inspection Questions
Is the inspection really free?
Yes, including the written photo report, with no obligation. Insurance-related and real-estate inspections follow the same process and are also free.
How long does it take?
Most homes take under an hour on site. The written report usually follows the same day or the next.
Do I need to be home?
Not for the roof itself, though it helps for the attic and for walking through what we found. The report is the same either way.
Will you get on a tile roof?
Yes, carefully and only where it is safe. Tile cracks underfoot, so parts of a tile inspection are done from the edges, ladders and close-range photographs rather than by walking the field.
Should I get an inspection after a storm even if nothing is leaking?
Especially then. Hail commonly bruises or fractures a roof without opening a hole, and the failure shows up months later when the storm is much harder to prove.
