Roof inspection services in College Station
Surface walk or drone survey of every slope
Every slope gets looked at, whether by walking the roof or by drone. In a county with 76 hail events of one inch or larger since 2015, impact marks can be scattered across only some slopes. You get photos of each one so you can see what the inspection found. Call to book the survey.
The joints of the roof are where leaks start, and they take the most stress in a hot climate. The local weather station records about 117 days a year at 90 degrees or higher, which dries out sealant and loosens flashing. The inspection checks each vent, valley and ridge line. Call to have them checked.
Attic check for moisture, ventilation and daylight
From inside the attic, the inspection looks for damp decking, poor airflow and light coming through the roof. Annual precipitation is about 41.8 inches at the local weather station, so small leaks have plenty of rain to show themselves. Hot attics also age shingles faster. Call to book the attic check.
Gutters are often the first place hail damage appears, as dents or as shingle granules collected in the downspouts. The county's largest recorded hailstone was 3 inches across, and stones of that size can bend metal and loosen fascia. The inspection notes what needs repair. Call and ask for the written estimate.

Why roof inspection here is different
College Station's homes are newer than in many Texas towns. The median home was built in 1998, and by Census estimates for 2019 to 2023 only 19% were built before 1980, against 24% county-wide. Newer roofs mean fewer worn-out layers, but they also mean shingles that have taken years of heat: the 1991 to 2020 climate normals at the local weather station show about 117 days a year at 90 degrees or higher. Heat and hail together wear a roof from both sides, so the inspection looks at both. The written estimate then separates sun wear from impact damage. Call to book your visit.

Signs you need roof inspection
Hail in this area peaks from March to April, and 92% of hail reports within 25 km come between February and July, so the warning signs often follow a spring storm. Look from the ground for dented gutters, shingle granules in the downspouts, lifted or missing shingles, and stains on ceilings after rain. A roof older than 15 years with no recent check, or a home you are buying, selling or putting solar on, is reason enough on its own. Photograph what you see from the ground, do not climb up, and call to book the inspection.

What a roof inspection visit covers
Book an inspection soon after any spring storm, and again before hail season starts in February. Two-inch hail was last reported within 25 km on April 8, 2021, so large stones are a real possibility here. Freezing is rarely the issue, with about 16 freeze days a year in the 1991 to 2020 normals and no snow, which means the timing depends on storms and heat, not winter. You get the inspection, a written report with photos and a repair-or-replace opinion, and a written estimate before any work starts. Call to pick a day.

Questions
Roof inspection questions in College Station
How often does hail hit College Station?
NOAA's Storm Events database lists 76 hail events of one inch or larger in Brazos County and the neighboring counties since 2015. The busiest month is April. If a storm has passed over your street, call to book an inspection before the next round arrives.
Should I get an inspection when buying a house here?
Yes. Buying or selling a home is one of the main reasons to book a roof inspection, and the median home here was built in 1998, so many roofs are well into their service life. The written report with photos and a repair-or-replace opinion gives you something to bring to the negotiation. Call to schedule it.
Do I need a licensed roofer in Texas?
Texas has no statewide roofing license, so ask the contractor for a certificate of insurance. The Texas Department of Insurance is the office to check with. Whichever contractor you use, ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Call Roofers Hotline to book your inspection.
Can heat damage my roof as much as storms?
Heat is a steady cause of wear here. The local weather station averages about 117 days a year at 90 degrees or higher in the 1991 to 2020 normals. That bakes shingles and dries out sealants around flashing. An attic check for ventilation is part of the inspection. Call to have it done.
