Want to Know What Shape Your Roof Is Really In? Roof Inspection in Lubbock, TX

You shouldn't have to climb a two-story ladder in the Lubbock wind just to find out whether last week's storm bruised your shingles or whether the house you're buying in Tech Terrace has five years of roof life left or five months. We walk the roof for you, take clear dated photos of every slope and penetration, and show you exactly what's up there.

We walk the roof in person, photograph every slope, flashing joint, and vent, and give you a plain-English report — whether you're checking for hail or buying a house.

Call (806) 515-3963

If the roof is solid and doesn't need work, we'll tell you that and hand you the photos for your files. If we find cracked pipe boots, hail-dented vents, lifted valley flashing, or brittle shingles, we'll separate what needs attention now from what can wait a year or two.

Typical price in Lubbock: $0–$250

Storm and repair evaluations in Lubbock are free when you're looking for a repair or replacement quote; formal written real-estate buyer/seller or insurance-renewal photo inspection packets typically run $150 to $250.

How we handle storm & roof inspection

A real roof inspection takes more than flying a drone over the ridge from the street. Drone cameras can't feel whether a hail mark is a soft mat bruise or just a natural blister, and they can't lift a shingle tab on the west rake to see if West Texas dust has killed the seal strip.

Our crew starts along the eaves checking the drip edge, gutter apron, and fascia board, then walks each directional slope checking granule retention, shingle pliability, nail pops, and hail impact marks. We inspect every roof penetration by hand — plumbing vent boots, HVAC flue collars, brick chimney counter-flashing, skylights, and turbine or ridge vents.

When there is an accessible attic hatch, we also check the underside of the wood decking for daylight, water trails around nails, rusted truss plates, and adequate intake/exhaust airflow.

When Lubbock Homeowners Need a Roof Inspection Most

The number-one reason people call us for an inspection in Lubbock is after a spring or early-summer hailstorm — especially along the path of cells that cross Wolfforth, Southwest Lubbock, Melonie Park, or Idalou. Getting dated photos of your soft metals and slopes before you call your insurance company lets you see whether the damage exceeds your wind/hail deductible.

The second biggest reason is buying or selling a house. Lubbock's median home was built in 1983 (U.S. Census ACS 2024), and general home inspectors often view steep or high roofs from the ground or eave ladder without walking every valley. A roof-specific check catches layered roofs, unpermitted re-roofs, or hail bruising before closing day.

Written scope, plain numbers, no pressure. We tell you straight when a simple repair is enough, and you decide if and when to move forward.

Why homeowners call us

We actually answer the phone — or call back the same day.
We look at the roof in person and show you photos before quoting a real number.
We tell you when a repair is enough instead of pushing a full roof replacement.
We protect your yard, AC condenser, driveway, and flowerbeds while we work.
We haul off every scrap of old shingle and run magnetic nail sweeps before we call the job done.

What you can expect from us

Your roof is only as good as the crew that puts it on and the underlayment and flashing underneath.

We do the job the way the manufacturer specs and local wind and hail codes say it should be done, and we clean up the yard before we leave.

If something doesn't look right when we're done, walk it with us before we pack up the truck.

Questions we get a lot

How can you tell the difference between hail damage and normal sun blistering on a Lubbock roof?

Heat blisters come from inside the shingle when trapped moisture or poorly ventilated attic heat expands in the summer sun — they break open into hard, narrow pits with steep edges and never dent metal vents. Hail hits from the outside, crushing granules down into the mat in a round, soft dimple and leaving matching dents on soft aluminum vents, flashing, and gutter downspouts.

Do you charge to come look at my roof if I think I have a leak or hail damage?

No. If you have a leak, wind damage, or suspected hail damage and want us to take a look and quote any needed work, there is no charge for the inspection and written estimate. We only charge a flat inspection fee ($150–$250) when a home buyer, seller, or realtor needs a standalone formal inspection report for a real-estate escrow.

How often should a shingle roof be inspected in Lubbock?

We recommend a quick check once a year — ideally in March before the April–June hail peak, or in late summer after storm season wraps up — plus any time hail 1 inch or larger hits your neighborhood.
