What happens during the visit
Outside first
We check gutters, downspouts and metal for dents and look for granules at the outlets.
On the roof
We walk each slope when it is safe and look at shingles, flashing, vents, pipe boots and nails.
In the attic
We look for daylight, stains, damp wood and how well the attic vents.
Report
You get photos of every issue, its place on the roof and a plain recommendation, with a free written estimate if work is needed.
Why it matters in Anna
Half of the homes in Anna were built before 2012 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). Many owners have never had their roof inspected, because it still looks new from the street. But the first decade is when install problems show up: nails that back out, flashing that was not lapped right and vents that were not sealed.
Storms add to the list. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 40 hail reports within 10 miles of Anna from 2015 through 2024, including 6 at 1.75 inches or larger and a 2-inch stone on May 29, 2016. A roof that went through 2016, 2020 or 2023 without a check may hold damage nobody has written down. The census survey also shows 78% of homes here are owner-occupied, so most owners will be the ones paying when a small issue grows.
For buyers, an inspection during the option period shows whether the roof has years left or needs work soon. For sellers, a report done before listing lets you fix small items on your own schedule instead of under a deadline. In both cases, the photos become part of the home's records and help the next owner understand what was done and when.
Possible outcomes
All clear
You get a dated record that the roof was in good shape, which is useful after the next storm.
Small repairs
Nail pops, boots and flashing are quick fixes. See roof repair in Anna.
Storm damage
We mark hail and wind damage apart from wear and give you photos for your insurer.
Bigger work
If damage is widespread, we explain the options and give you a free written estimate.
Ventilation notes
Poor attic airflow shortens shingle life in the heat. We note it and explain simple fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a new roof really need an inspection?
It is a good idea after any big storm and once every few years. Newer roofs can have install issues that only show up after a few summers, and hail does not care about roof age. An inspection is quick and gives you photos to keep on file.
What is the difference between a roofer's inspection and a home inspection?
A home inspector covers the whole house and often views the roof from the ground or a ladder. A roofer walks each slope and looks closely at flashing, nails, boots and storm damage. For a home purchase, many buyers in Anna get both.
Should I inspect before my builder warranty ends?
It is worth considering. If the inspection finds an install problem, you may be able to raise it with the builder while the warranty is still active. Check your warranty terms for what is covered and how to file. We give you photos and notes either way.
