What happens during a roof inspection
Ground walk-around
The inspector looks at the roof lines, gutters, downspouts, siding and windows for signs of storm hits or sagging.
On the roof
Each slope is checked for missing, cracked or bruised shingles, worn flashing, loose vents and exposed nails.
Attic check
Stains, damp insulation, daylight and poor airflow often show problems that look fine from outside. Learn how roof ventilation protects your home.
Photos and notes
Every issue is photographed so you can see it yourself, not just take someone's word.
Written estimate
If work is needed, you get a written estimate that lists what should be fixed.
Why Seagoville roofs need regular checks
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 33 hail reports within 10 miles of Seagoville from 2015 through 2024. Twelve were 1.75 inches or larger, and large hail showed up in 2017, 2019, 2023 and 2024. With storms like that every few years, small damage can stack up without anyone noticing from the street.
Age is the other reason. Half of the homes in Seagoville were built before 1992 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). On older houses, flashing, pipe boots and decking wear out on their own schedule, separate from the shingles. A look every year or two catches these before they become leaks.
Good times to schedule an inspection
After any storm with hail or strong wind in the area.
Before buying a home, so you know the roof's condition up front.
Before listing a home for sale, to avoid surprises in the buyer's inspection.
Before installing solar panels on the roof.
When you notice granules in the gutters or a new ceiling stain.
Every year or two once the roof is past its middle age.
What the inspector looks at
Shingles
Bruises, cracks, curling, bald spots and lifted tabs that no longer seal.
Flashing
Metal at walls, chimneys and valleys that has rusted, bent or pulled loose. See signs your roof flashing is failing.
Penetrations
Pipe boots, vents and skylights where sealant has cracked or rubber has split.
Gutters and edges
Dents, sagging runs and soft fascia that show water is not leaving the roof the right way.
Attic
Stains on rafters, damp insulation and signs of heat buildup from poor airflow.
What to do with the results
If the inspection finds minor issues, a repair can handle them. Our roof repair in Seagoville page explains the common fixes. If hail damage is found, the photos and notes help when you talk to your insurer; see what a roof inspection after hail includes for more.
Keep the report. A dated set of photos is a baseline for the next storm. If hail hits again, you and your insurer can compare the roof before and after, which makes it easier to show what the new storm did and what was already there. It also helps when you sell, since buyers often ask about the roof first.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roof inspection take?
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof and how easy the attic is to reach. A typical home inspection covers the outside, the roof surface and the attic. You should come away with photos of what was found and a clear idea of what, if anything, needs work.
Should I get a roof inspection before buying a home in Seagoville?
It is a smart step. Half of the homes in town were built before 1992, so many roofs have seen years of sun and several hail seasons. A roof-focused inspection tells you how much life is left and what repairs may be coming before you sign.
Can an inspection tell old damage from new storm damage?
Often, yes. Fresh hail hits show clean, dark spots where granules were knocked off, while older damage looks weathered. Dents on vents and gutters also help date a storm. The photos from the inspection give you and your insurer a record to work from.
