Roof Inspection in Austin

Roof inspectors are looking for damage to your roof and anything that may cause future damage. This includes roof leaks, broken shingles, cracked sealant, moss, debris, standing water, and broken flashing.

A thorough roof inspection will take place on the ground, on the roof, and in your attic if there is an access point. The roof inspector will take notes on the damage they find and walk you through any needed repairs.

A roof inspection helps you catch small problems before they become big. By the time you can see leaks on your ceiling, chances are you already have a large amount of damage.

An annual roof inspection is ideal. Some professionals recommend it as often as once a year, but if your roof is under 5 years old and hasn’t been exposed to extreme weather, you can do it less frequently.

This depends entirely on negotiations but, typically, the seller will pay for roof repairs or negotiate the price.

1. Review your insurance policy to see if the damage is covered. Your insurer may cover part or all of the roof replacement cost if it is.
2. Document the roof damage in writing and pictures. Pictures help make your situation clear, especially photos with timestamps.
3. Check the age of your roof. Roofs under 10 years old are usually covered by insurance, but older roofs may be limited.
4. Get a professional roofer’s estimate to convince your insurer that repairs are necessary and cost-effective. Storm Guard will assist with your claim and start the repairs quickly.
