What Gets Checked

Every accessible slope walked, not assessed from the driveway
Flashings, valleys, penetrations, ridge caps and vents, which is where leaks start
Soft metals and exposed fasteners
Granule loss and shingle bruising, the markers of hail
The attic from inside: daylight, moisture, discoloration, ventilation and animal entry

Where a roof is unsafe to walk, we fly it with a drone carrying a 4K camera and a thermal sensor rather than guess from the ground. Commercial roof inspections follow the same process and include a same business day condition report.

How Long It Takes

A single family home takes about 45 minutes. Complex geometry, multiple planes, steep pitch or a lot of penetrations runs 60 to 90 minutes. Scheduling is within 48 hours of booking, inside a window of two hours, confirmed by text and call.

The Five Steps

Book online or by phone and pick an arrival window
Our inspector arrives in a marked truck with ID visible
The roof and attic are walked and photographed throughout
You get the verbal findings before the truck leaves
The written report is emailed the same day, with photos, findings and recommendations

What the Report Actually Contains

Photos with both context and close up detail, so you can see what we saw. A repair quote if repair is what it needs. A replacement range if it is past repair. Or a clean bill of health, which is what about 30 percent of our post storm inspections conclude.

That last figure matters more than the other two. An inspection that can only end in a sale is not an inspection.

What an Inspection Cannot Tell You

An inspection reports the condition of the roof on the day it was walked. It is not a warranty and not a prediction, and no honest inspector will tell you a roof has exactly seven years left. A good report gives you the current state, the rate of deterioration, and the items that will fail first.

It also will not find a leak that is not leaking. Intermittent leaks, particularly wind driven ones that only show in a storm from one direction, sometimes need a water test instead of a visual walk. If that is what your roof is doing, tell us when you book so the right test gets scheduled.

No Obligation Means No Chasing

We do not call you again unless you ask us to, and no quote expires at midnight. If the report says the roof has years left in it, that is the report.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Austin Area Roofers free inspection actually free?

Yes. No charge, no obligation, no commitment of any kind. We inspect, document, and report. If you need work, we quote it. If you do not, we tell you so. About thirty percent of our Austin free inspections conclude no work is needed and we walk away with no follow-up.

How long does a roof inspection take in Austin?

Forty-five minutes on average for a single-family Austin home. Steep multi-elevation roofs add time. Complex Hill Country geometry can run sixty to ninety minutes. Commercial inspections run one to two hours. The attic check from inside the home is part of every inspection.

Should I get a roof inspection after every Austin hail or storm event?

Yes. Within 48 hours of a confirmed hail or wind event in your zip is the most useful timing for an inspection. The damage is fresh, the insurance window is open, and the photographic evidence is clean. Waiting six months drops the chance of a successful insurance claim significantly because the damage becomes harder to attribute to a specific event.

What if your inspector finds something the other roofer missed?

It happens regularly. We have built successful insurance claims off findings other roofers walked past. We have also told Austin homeowners that the hail damage another company quoted them on was actually wear consistent with age and would not pass an adjuster's inspection. Either way, we document our findings honestly and hand you the photos so you can decide what to do next.

Do you inspect commercial roofs in Austin?

Yes. Commercial standing seam, R-panel, modified bitumen, TPO, and EPDM systems all sit inside our standard inspection workflow. Commercial inspections run one to two hours depending on roof size and complexity. We provide written reports with photographic findings the same business day.

Will you sell me a roof I do not need?

No. We are not optimizing for the close. We are optimizing for the call you make to us in three years when something does need fixing. About thirty percent of our free inspections conclude no work is needed. We tell those homeowners so and walk away. That number is the entire reason we hold a perfect 5-star rating across every Google review we have ever received.

Why this matters

We're a roofing company with a sales department, not a sales company masquerading as a roofing company that just farms out the work to the cheapest subcontractors.

We focus on doing the job the right way · materials, fabrication, and workmanship. We prioritize high-end, high-quality products over Big Box Store options, and we handle custom fabrications by hand and on site so the finished system fits properly and lasts for years. Our owners are roofers, and our crews are personally trained, certified in what they install, and held accountable for the quality of their work.

The tell that matters: we are the roofer most used by other roofing companies in Central Texas to actually fulfill their clients' needs. When the company on the truck can't deliver, ours is the crew they call to get the job done right.

Ready when you are

One conversation with our in-house trained professionals (each trained by Benny himself) and you'll KNOW.
