Hail damage on asphalt shingles appears as dark, circular bruising or divots where granules have been knocked away — often compared to a ball-peen hammer strike. Missing granules expose the underlying asphalt to UV degradation. In Sonora, any hail event over 1 inch warrants a professional inspection. We provide written damage assessments for Sutton County homeowners.

An experienced inspector can estimate roof age from granule coverage, shingle flexibility, manufacturer product identifiers, and permit records. An exact installation date usually requires documentation from the previous owner or building permits.

Some roofing contractors place dated stickers on the underside of ridge cap shingles during installation or major repair as a reference point for future inspectors. These markers establish a documented installation or repair date.

Drone inspections use aerial photography and video to document roof condition from above without physically accessing the surface. They're useful for initial condition assessments and documentation but don't replace hands-on inspection of flashing and penetration details.

A residential roof inspection typically requires little from the homeowner. The inspector needs access to the attic and will be on the roof for part of the visit. Most homeowners go about their normal routine during the inspection.

Delamination refers to the separation of layers in the roof deck sheathing — typically OSB or plywood — caused by moisture infiltration. Delaminated decking has lost structural integrity and must be replaced before new roofing materials can be installed.

A thorough inspection by a licensed, experienced contractor is highly accurate for visible conditions. Hidden damage not accessible without deconstruction may not be identified until materials are removed during repair or replacement.

Yes. Conditions that exist below the surface — early-stage deck delamination, moisture in insulation that hasn't yet stained the ceiling — may not be visible without destructive investigation or thermal imaging. This is why periodic inspections are more valuable than a single snapshot.

A pre-storm inspection assesses a roof's condition and vulnerability before an anticipated significant weather event. It identifies components that should be addressed before the storm to reduce damage risk and establishes a pre-storm baseline for insurance documentation.

If an inspection recommends significant expense or replacement and you're uncertain, a second opinion from a different licensed contractor is a reasonable step. Compare the documented findings — not just the recommendations — to evaluate consistency.

An inspection assesses and documents condition without a specific repair scope attached. An estimate proposes a specific scope of work with pricing. Most contractors provide an estimate following an inspection, but the inspection findings should be documented independently of the commercial proposal.

Most roofing professionals recommend inspections every 2-3 years for roofs under 15 years old, and annually once a roof is past 15 years. Inspections should also follow any significant storm event regardless of scheduled timing.

Professional roof inspection costs typically range from $150–$400 depending on roof size, pitch, and region. Our contractors provide a full written condition report with every inspection, covering all roofing components, flashing, gutters, and attic condition — with no obligation to proceed with repairs.

A thorough inspection covers the shingle or membrane surface condition, all flashing locations, ridge cap, soffits and fascia, gutter attachment, and an attic assessment for ventilation function and signs of moisture infiltration.
