Free Roof Inspection in Buda, TX

What We Actually Inspect on Buda Roofs

A real roof inspection isn't a 10-minute walk around your house. We spend 45 minutes to an hour examining every component—including exposure-specific and geology-related patterns that generic inspections miss entirely.

Is the roof inspection really free? What's the catch?

Yes, genuinely free. No obligation. We offer free inspections because it's how we meet homeowners. If you need work, we hope you'll choose us. If your Buda roof is fine—and we tell plenty of Buda homeowners exactly that—you owe us nothing. We've been doing this since 2008.

I called two companies and neither would come to Buda. Will you actually show up?

Yes. This is the most common complaint we hear from Buda homeowners. Many Austin-based companies treat anything south of Slaughter Lane as too far to bother with—especially for a free inspection. We serve Buda regularly, we don't charge a travel surcharge, and we show up when we say we will.

My home is in a newer Buda subdivision with no trees. Does that matter for the inspection?

It matters a lot. Exposed lots in Sunfield, Meadows at Buda, and Elliott Ranch take direct UV, wind, and hail impact with no canopy protection. We check for accelerated granule loss, seal strip failure from thermal cycling, and builder shortcuts that fail faster under constant sun exposure. These are different problems than what we find on shaded lots.

My home is in an older Buda neighborhood with big trees. What should I expect?

Canopy-covered lots in Downtown Buda, Ruby Ranch, and Whispering Hollow face different issues: debris dams in valleys, algae and moss growth from persistent shade and moisture, branch abrasion marks, and gutters clogged with organic material that causes water backup. We also check for deck rot under areas where leaves trap moisture. Different problems, different inspection focus.

How long does a roof inspection take?

A thorough inspection takes 45 minutes to an hour, depending on roof size and accessibility. On Buda homes, we also assess exposure conditions—whether your lot is fully exposed or canopy-covered—because each creates different damage patterns. Inspectors who spend 10-15 minutes aren't looking for Buda-specific problems.

Does Buda's limestone geology really affect my roof?

Indirectly, yes. Buda sits on a mix of limestone and clay. When the clay shrinks during drought and expands during rain, the rigid limestone doesn't flex with it—it fractures. These angular shifts stress wall-to-roof connections, pull flashing away at sharp angles, and can crack decking at penetration points. The patterns look different from Kyle's gradual clay shifts and need to be identified separately.

A storm chaser knocked on my door after the last storm. Should I trust them?

Get a second opinion first. Buda's I-35 proximity means out-of-town crews pour in after every weather event. Many claim damage from the driveway without getting on your roof. We'll give you an honest assessment—if damage exists, we document it properly for insurance. If it doesn't, we'll save you from a claim that raises your premiums.

I'm buying a home in Buda. Can you inspect before closing?

Yes, and we do these regularly for Buda buyers. We can usually schedule within 24-48 hours. In Buda's fast-moving market at the $350K-$500K price point, roof issues discovered at closing can kill a deal or cost you thousands. A pre-purchase inspection gives you leverage to negotiate or walk away informed.

I'm selling my Buda home. Will you be honest even if it's bad news?

Yes. It's better to know what a buyer's inspector will find before you list. At Buda's price point, buyers scrutinize everything. A clean inspection report—or knowing exactly what to fix first—prevents surprise negotiations that can cost $8K-$15K at the worst possible time.

Do you provide a written report?

Yes. Every inspection includes a detailed written report with photos. For Buda homes, we note exposure conditions (canopy vs. exposed), any geology-related stress patterns, and standard storm damage or aging wear. This report is yours to keep for insurance, real estate negotiations, or your own records—regardless of whether you do any work with us.

Can you inspect my barn, workshop, or detached building too?

Yes. Buda has more outbuildings than most Hays County cities—barns, detached workshops, horse shelters, guest houses. These secondary structures often have different roofing materials and different exposure conditions than the main house. We inspect them all.

How soon can you come out for a Buda inspection?

Often same-day or next-day. We know some inspections are time-sensitive—real estate closings, storm damage documentation, and insurance deadlines don't wait. Call us and we'll accommodate your timeline. And yes, we actually show up in Buda.
