Flashing and penetrations
Chimneys, walls, skylights, pipe boots and vents are checked, since many leaks begin there.

Report

Why Trophy Club roofs deserve a regular check
The numbers make the case. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 196 hail reports within 10 miles of Trophy Club from 2015 through 2024, and 56 of them were 1.75 inches or larger. Large hail came in 2017, 2018, 2021, 2023 and 2024, so storms have been close together in recent years.
Many roofs here are also reaching an age where wear and storm damage are easy to confuse. Half of the homes in Trophy Club were built before 2002 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). A roof on one of those homes may be about 24 years old if it was never replaced. A dated inspection report gives you a baseline, so after the next storm you can show what changed.
There is also a practical side. Hail bruises on shingles are easiest to read in the first weeks after a storm, before sun and rain wear the edges smooth. Waiting a season can make real storm damage look like ordinary aging, which helps nobody when it is time to decide on repairs or talk to an insurer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my roof inspected?
Once a year is a good habit, plus after any storm with hail or strong wind. Older roofs benefit from closer attention, since small problems grow faster when sealants and shingles are near the end of their life. A yearly report also gives you a record to compare after each storm.
What should I do before the inspector arrives?
Make the attic easy to reach, note any stains or leaks you have seen, and gather dates of past storms or repairs. If you have photos from right after a storm, keep them handy. That background helps the inspector focus on the right areas and explain the findings.
Can an inspection tell me how many years my roof has left?
It can give a reasonable estimate based on wear, granule loss, decking condition and storm damage. It is not an exact date. Weather, ventilation and future storms all change the answer, which is why repeat inspections over time are more useful than a single one.
