Free Roof Inspection in Lewisville, TX
Photographs, measurements and a written findings report. No cost, no obligation, and no sales visit disguised as an inspection.
If you want a roof inspection in Lewisville, TX that can actually come back saying your roof is fine, that is what this is. Our inspection is free and genuinely diagnostic, which means it sometimes ends with a written recommendation to do nothing for another four years. A free inspection from a company that only earns on replacements is a sales call wearing a hard hat.
What We Actually Inspect
A real inspection covers the whole roofing system, not just the shingles you can see from the street. Every inspection includes:
- The full roof covering, slope by slope. Granule coverage, hail bruising tested by hand, wind creasing, curling, cupping, cracking and shingle seal integrity.
- Every flashing detail. Chimneys, sidewalls, headwalls, skylights, valleys and step flashing. This is where the majority of leaks we trace actually begin.
- All penetrations. Plumbing vent boots, exhaust vents, satellite mounts and solar attachments. Pipe boots are the shortest-lived component on the roof.
- Ridge and hip lines. The most wind-exposed part of the roof and usually the first to show damage.
- Drip edge, fascia and the gutter line, checking for water tracking behind the gutters and rot in the roof edge.
- Attic ventilation, measured rather than eyeballed. Intake and exhaust net free area against the code requirement.
- The attic underside where accessible. Daylight through decking, moisture staining on rafters, delaminated sheathing, insulation compression and evidence of past leaks.
- Collateral hail evidence on the ground. Gutters, downspouts, vent caps, AC condenser fins and window screens, all of which corroborate a hail event.
What You Get Afterward
A written findings report, delivered to you whether or not you hire us for anything. It contains dated photographs of each finding, an explanation in plain language of what each one means, roof measurements, an assessment of remaining service life, and a clear recommendation that falls into one of four categories: no action needed, monitor and reinspect, repair, or replace.
You are welcome to take that report to another contractor for a second opinion. We would rather you did that than felt pressured, and a homeowner who can compare two written reports usually makes a better decision than one being talked at in a driveway.
Keep the report even if you do nothing. A dated pre-storm inspection report is one of the most useful documents you can hold when a hail claim is later disputed, because it establishes the condition of the roof before the storm and undercuts any argument that the damage was pre-existing wear.
When You Should Get an Inspection
Four situations make an inspection clearly worth the appointment:
- After any significant hail or wind event. Functional hail damage is usually invisible from the ground, and Texas policies generally require prompt reporting, so a roof that is a valid claim this month can be an uninsured expense next year.
- Before buying or selling a house. A general home inspector looks at a roof from a ladder at the edge for a few minutes. That is not the same thing, and a roof is frequently the single largest deferred-maintenance item in a transaction.
- Once the roof passes about fifteen years. Not to replace it, but to know where it stands so the decision is planned rather than forced by a leak in February.
- Whenever you see an interior water stain, even a small one that has not grown. Water travels a long way inside a structure before it becomes visible.
Roof Inspections in Lewisville and Denton County
Texas records more large hail reports than any other state according to NOAA's Storm Prediction Center, and Denton County sits in the middle of that corridor. Historic North Texas hail events have caused hundreds of millions of dollars in insured damage, and northern Lewisville has taken hail from golf ball to baseball size in past storms. Severe thunderstorms in March 2025 brought 80 mph winds through the county with major damage in Lewisville.
The practical consequence for a Lewisville homeowner is that a post-storm inspection is not an abundance of caution, it is routine maintenance. Most roofs here are replaced because of a storm rather than because they aged out, and the roofs that end up costing their owners the most are the ones nobody looked at until the claim window had closed.
Warning signs
When to Book an Inspection
You do not need visible damage to justify an appointment. These are the common triggers.
A hail or high wind event moved through your area
Even if nothing looks different. Functional hail damage is a bruise under the granule surface and is routinely invisible from the ground, and sometimes from the roof unless someone is testing by hand.
You are buying or selling the property
A general home inspection is not a roof inspection. Knowing the true condition and remaining life of the roof changes negotiating positions on both sides of a transaction.
The roof is fifteen years old or more
Not because it needs replacing, but because knowing where it stands turns a forced decision into a planned one. Architectural asphalt typically runs 20 to 30 years in this climate, less where ventilation is poor.
You have seen a water stain, however small
Water tracks along rafters and decking before it drops, so the visible stain is rarely under the entry point and the leak has usually been running longer than you think.
Your energy bills have climbed without explanation
Frequently an attic ventilation problem. A superheated attic drives cooling load through a North Texas summer and cooks the shingles from underneath at the same time.
A door knocker told you your roof is destroyed
Get an independent opinion in writing from someone who was in Denton County before the storm. It costs nothing and it is the single best defense against a bad decision made under pressure.
Our process
How the Inspection Runs
Around 45 to 90 minutes on site depending on the size and complexity of the roof.
We walk the roof
Physically, slope by slope. Hail bruising is tested by hand because it cannot reliably be seen. Every finding is photographed where it sits.
We check the attic and ventilation
From below, looking for daylight through the decking, moisture staining on rafters, delaminated sheathing and compressed insulation, and we measure intake and exhaust against the code requirement.
We check the collateral evidence
Gutters, downspouts, vent caps, AC condenser fins and window screens. Soft metals record hail far more visibly than shingles do and corroborate the event for an adjuster.
You get the written report
Photographs, measurements, plain-language explanations and one of four recommendations: no action, monitor, repair, or replace. Yours to keep and to take for a second opinion.
Why choose us
Why Our Inspection Is Worth Having
It Can Come Back Negative
This is the whole point. Our inspections regularly conclude that a roof is sound and the right answer is to do nothing for another few years, and that recommendation goes in writing exactly like any other. Storm-chasing outfits that appear in Denton County after every major hail event do not write those reports, because their business model does not survive them.
Hail Damage Tested by Hand, Not Guessed at
Functional hail damage is a fractured mat under the granule surface, and it is frequently invisible even standing on the roof. It has to be found by hand, slope by slope, then marked and photographed. An inspector who assesses a roof from a ladder at the edge, or from a drone photo, is not going to find the damage that decides your claim.
Ventilation Measured Against the Code
The International Residential Code calls for one square foot of net free ventilating area per 150 square feet of attic floor, or per 300 where intake and exhaust are balanced. A great many North Texas attics do not meet it, and an unventilated deck destroys shingles from below and gives the manufacturer grounds to decline a warranty claim. We measure it rather than glancing at it.
Our commitments
Why Lewisville Property Owners Trust Us
Free, No Pressure Inspection
Every inspection is free and comes with a written findings report and photographs of what we actually saw on your roof. If the roof has life left in it, we tell you that and we do not quote a replacement.
GAF Master Elite Certified
GAF awards Master Elite status to a limited share of roofing contractors nationwide. It requires proof of licensing, insurance and an ongoing performance record, and it is what allows us to register the enhanced GAF system warranties on the roofs we install.
Licensed and Fully Insured
Texas does not license roofers at the state level, which is exactly why this matters. Our contractors carry general liability and workers compensation coverage, and we will hand you the certificates before anyone sets a ladder against your house.
We Handle the Insurance Claim
Hail and wind claims turn on documentation. We meet your adjuster on the roof, provide the photo evidence and measurements, and make sure the scope of loss reflects the damage that is actually there.

Answers
Roof Inspection Questions
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes, with no obligation and no cost under any circumstances, including when the report concludes you need nothing. There is no call-out fee, no report fee, and no requirement to hire us for anything.
How long does an inspection take?
Usually 45 to 90 minutes on site, depending on the size and complexity of the roof and whether the attic is accessible. You do not need to be home for the roof portion, though we do need access to the attic to complete the ventilation and underside assessment.
Do you use drones?
We use them for overall documentation and measurement on large or very steep roofs, but never as a substitute for walking the roof. Functional hail damage is a soft bruise that has to be found by hand, and no aerial photograph will show it. Any inspection that happens entirely from the air is not an inspection.
Will you tell me I need a new roof when I do not?
No, and the written report is your protection against exactly that. You get photographs of every finding with an explanation of what it means, so the recommendation is something you can evaluate rather than something you have to take on trust. Take it to another contractor for a second opinion if you want to, and we would encourage it.
Should I get an inspection before filing a hail claim?
Yes, and this is the mistake that costs people most often. Filing speculatively before anyone has assessed the roof risks a denied claim on your record for nothing. We inspect first and tell you whether you have damage that will actually meet a carrier's threshold, then you decide whether to file.
How often should a roof be inspected in North Texas?
Annually is sensible in this climate, and after any significant hail or high wind event regardless of when the last inspection was. Given how much severe weather Denton County takes, an annual check is closer to routine maintenance than to caution.
