Roof Inspections in Glenn Heights: Know Where Your Roof Stands
An inspection turns guesses into facts. For a roof that is past its early years and has seen recent hail, that is worth knowing before the next storm.

What happens during a GemSco inspection
We listen first
Tell us about leaks, storms and past repairs so we know where to focus.
Roof surface
We walk each slope and check shingles for bruises, cracks, lifted tabs and granule loss.
Flashing and openings
Valleys, walls, vents, pipe boots and skylights get a close look, since most leaks start there.
Gutters and edges
Dents, sagging runs and soft fascia point to drainage problems or hail.
Attic
We look for stains, damp insulation, daylight and ventilation problems.
Photos and a plain answer
You see what we saw and get a written estimate if work is needed.
Why now is a good time in Glenn Heights
Half of the homes in Glenn Heights were built before 2004 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). Many still have their original roof, now about 22 years old. That is when wear starts to show at seals, boots and flashing, often before any leak appears inside.
The hail record points the same way. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 95 hail reports within 10 miles of Glenn Heights from 2015 through 2024, and 19 of them were 1.75 inches or larger. Large hail came in 2017, 2021, 2023 and 2024, including a 4-inch stone on June 12, 2023. If your roof has not been looked at since then, an inspection tells you whether those storms left a mark.
Most homes here are owner-occupied, about 78 percent according to the same Census survey. For an owner, a roof inspection is cheap insurance: it turns a vague worry into a list of what is fine, what needs watching and what needs work, so you can plan instead of reacting to the next leak.

If the photos show hail damage, our page on hail damage roof repair in Glenn Heights explains how we document it and how insurance fits in. Coverage depends on your policy, and we never promise approval, but clear photos with a date make that conversation much simpler.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
It helps if someone can let us into the attic and talk through what you have noticed. The outside part can often be done without you there. Either way, we go over the photos with you afterward so you understand what we found.
What if the inspection finds nothing?
That is good news, and the photos still have value. They show the condition of your roof on that date, which helps if a storm hits later and you need to show what changed. Many owners keep them with their home records.
Is a roof inspection different from a home inspection?
Yes. A home inspector covers the whole house and often looks at the roof from the ground or a ladder. A roofer walks the roof, checks flashing and openings up close and can tell you what a repair or replacement would involve and cost.
