Schedule your roof inspection.
If you are not sure whether your roof has damage, you do not have to diagnose it from the ground. We provide a free, no-obligation inspection and a photo-documented written report that explains what we find.
(817) 281-6433What the inspection covers
We inspect the roof as a complete system, document visible conditions, and explain which findings need attention.
Shingles & Roofing Material
We check the roof surface for missing, cracked, lifted, worn, or impact-damaged material and document the condition we can see.
Flashing
We inspect flashing at walls, chimneys, roof transitions, and other vulnerable edges where water can enter.
Penetrations & Seals
Pipe boots, skylights, mounts, and roof penetrations are checked for failed seals, gaps, and visible deterioration.
Valleys
We examine valleys for wear, debris, damaged material, and other conditions that can interrupt water flow.
Ridge & Vents
Ridge caps and roof vents are checked for damage, secure attachment, and visible signs of water entry.
Gutters & Drainage
We look for damage, blockage, and drainage conditions that can hold water against the roof or exterior.
Visible Decking
Where the roof deck can be seen, we note visible staining, deterioration, movement, or other concerns.
Accessible Attic Areas
When attic access is available, we look for visible moisture staining and other signs that water may be entering the home.
What you get afterward
You receive a written report with photographs, explained in plain English. It is yours to keep and can be forwarded to your insurance carrier if needed.
The report separates what we observed from what, if anything, should happen next. A free inspection does not obligate you to hire S&B for repairs or replacement.
Photographs With Context
The photographs are included with written findings so you can understand what each image shows and keep a record of the roof's condition.
Xactimate for Insurance Claims
If insurance is involved, our estimators write the scope in Xactimate, the same software adjusters use. S&B has two in-house insurance specialists.
When you should book one
You do not need to wait for an active leak. If a recent storm is the concern, read more about our hail and storm damage inspections.
After Hail or High Wind
Storm damage is not always visible from the ground. An inspection creates a dated, photo-documented record of what is present.
Before Listing a Home
Knowing the roof's condition before buyers begin asking questions can help you address concerns with written information in hand.
When Buying a Home
A roof-focused inspection can document details that may need attention before you take ownership.
Once the Roof Passes Ten Years
Age alone does not determine whether a roof needs work, but an inspection can establish its current condition and identify visible maintenance needs.
At Any Sign of a Leak
Ceiling stains, damp attic materials, or water near a wall or penetration are reasons to have the roof checked before the issue spreads.
No insurance claim is filed unless you decide to file one.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a roof inspection cost?
The roof inspection is free and there is no obligation to hire S&B. If the inspection identifies repair work, repairs have a $750 minimum.
How long does an inspection take?
The time needed depends on the roof and what the inspector finds. We work around your schedule and walk you through the findings afterward without rushing the inspection to meet a fixed duration.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
We work around the homeowner's schedule and confirm access needs when the inspection is arranged. Whether you are present or not, we will walk you through the findings afterward and provide the written, photo-documented report.
Will you tell me I need a new roof when I don't?
The report documents what we find in plain English, including when repair rather than replacement is appropriate. There is no obligation to hire us for work, and every roof we install carries a five-year written workmanship warranty.
Can the report be used for an insurance claim?
You can keep the written, photo-documented report or forward it to your insurance carrier. When insurance is involved, our two in-house specialists write the scope in Xactimate, the same estimating software adjusters use.
How often should a roof be inspected in North Texas?
Consider an inspection after a hail or wind event, when a roof passes ten years, before buying or listing a home, or whenever you notice a possible leak. S&B is RCAT Licensed #03-0515 and has served homeowners since the company was founded in Keller in 2003.
Do you inspect commercial buildings too?
Yes. S&B provides commercial roof inspections across DFW, College Station, and San Antonio, with a written, photo-documented condition report. See our commercial roof inspection page for details.
