How a Driftwood Roof Inspection Works
What happens on the roof
Where the roof is safe to walk, we walk it. That is the only way to find soft decking underfoot, flashing that has lifted at a wall or chimney, and shingles that are creased rather than obviously missing. The pass covers shingle condition and granule loss, flashing at walls, chimneys, skylights and pipe penetrations, valleys, vents and rubber pipe boots, ridge and hip caps, and the roof edge where water is handed off to the gutters. On a roof that is not safe to walk, we inspect from ladders and with photographs rather than guessing.
What happens beyond the surface
Where there is attic access, we look from underneath as well: daylight at penetrations, staining on the decking and insulation, decking that feels soft or has been patched before, and ventilation that is blocked, mismatched, or fighting itself. This matters because water travels along the underside of the deck before it drips, so the stain on a ceiling is often nowhere near the point where water is getting in.
How long it takes
Most residential inspections take roughly 30 to 60 minutes. Larger, steeper or more complex roofs take longer, storm-damage documentation takes longer again, and attic access adds time.
What you get afterward
You get a written summary of what we found, photographs of each issue, and a clear separation between what needs attention now and what can be monitored. Where work is warranted you get options with pricing. No deposit is required at any point, and the report is yours to keep even if you never call us again.
An inspection is not an insurance decision
A roofer documents the condition of a roof and any storm damage. Your insurance carrier and its adjuster decide what your policy covers. Anyone who tells you a claim is approved before an adjuster has looked at the roof is telling you something they cannot know.
Roof Inspection FAQs
How much does a roof inspection cost in Austin?
Driftwood roof inspections are free and no deposit is required. You keep the written summary and the photographs whether or not you hire us for the work.
How long does a roof inspection take?
Most residential inspections take roughly 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size, steepness and complexity of the roof and whether the attic is accessed.
Do you walk on the roof?
Usually yes. A hands-on walk finds soft decking, lifted flashing and creased shingles that are not visible from the ground. On a roof that is unsafe to walk, we inspect from ladders and with photographs instead.
Will a roof inspection tell me whether insurance will pay?
No. We document the condition of the roof and any storm damage in writing and photographs. Your carrier and its adjuster decide what your policy covers.
How often should a roof be inspected?
Once a year for most Central Texas roofs, and again after any major hail or wind storm.
What do I get at the end of the inspection?
A clear explanation of what we found, photographs of each issue, a separation of what needs attention now from what can wait, and written options if repairs or replacement are warranted.
