Why Round Rock Homeowners Need Roof Inspections More Than Most
Round Rock sits in one of the most hail-active corridors in the state. Williamson County regularly takes storms that bypass Austin entirely. That means your roof is absorbing impacts that homeowners 20 miles south never deal with. Some of that damage is obvious. Most of it isn't.
Beyond storms, Round Rock's housing market creates its own inspection demand. Families moving into the school district need to know what they're buying. Sellers listing in a competitive market need to know what buyers will find. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Teravista, Forest Creek, and Paloma Lake are watching roofs from the 2005-2015 building boom approach the age where problems start.
Whatever brought you here, the question is the same: What's actually going on with my roof? A professional inspection answers that. We get on your roof—not just look from the driveway—examine every component, and tell you exactly what we find.
Not sure if you need an inspection?
If any of these apply, the answer is yes: There was a recent hailstorm. You're buying or selling a home in Round Rock. Your roof is over 10 years old. You see something that doesn't look right. You have a leak you can't locate. Your insurance company is asking. A storm chaser left a card on your door. You just want to know where you stand.
Why Free Inspections Exist (And Why Ours Are Different)
After every hailstorm, Round Rock gets flooded with out-of-town roofing crews offering "free inspections." Most of them are there to sell you a roof, not inspect one. Here's how we're different.
We're local. We've been here since 2008. We're not leaving after storm season.
Our free inspections exist because they're how we meet homeowners. Some need work. Many don't. When your roof is fine, we tell you—because our reputation in Williamson County matters more than any single sale. When we meet you honestly today, you call us when you actually need something tomorrow.
Every inspection is genuinely free, genuinely thorough, and followed by a written report with photos. If we find nothing wrong, we'll shake your hand and leave. If we find damage, we'll explain your options and let you decide on your own time.
Storm Chasers vs. Legitimate Inspectors: Know the Difference
After hailstorms, Round Rock gets overrun with crews knocking on doors. Here's how to tell who to trust.
Storm Chaser Red Flags
- Showed up at your door uninvited after a storm
- Out-of-state license plates on the truck
- Spends 10 minutes on your roof, comes down saying you need full replacement
- Pressures you to sign an AOB (Assignment of Benefits) on the spot
- Offers to "cover your deductible" (that's insurance fraud)
- No local address, no Williamson County history
Legitimate Local Inspector
- You called them—they didn't knock on your door
- Established local business with verifiable history
- Takes 45-60 minutes to thoroughly examine everything
- Gives you a report and lets you decide on your own timeline
- Never asks you to sign anything during the inspection
- Will tell you if your roof is fine and nothing needs to be done
Round Rock sees this cycle every spring. Storms hit, trucks roll in, and homeowners get pressured into work they may not need. Get a local opinion before you sign anything.
What We Examine on a Round Rock Roof
A real inspection isn't a glance from the driveway. We spend 45-60 minutes on three separate inspection zones.
On the Roof
- Hail impact marks on shingles and vents
- Granule loss patterns (storm vs. age wear)
- Cracked, curled, or missing shingles
- Flashing integrity at chimneys, walls, and skylights
- Ridge cap and hip shingle condition
- Pipe boot seals and vent collars
- Valley metal and water flow paths
In the Attic
- Ventilation adequacy (critical in Round Rock heat)
- Insulation depth and condition
- Water stains, mold, or daylight penetration
- Decking condition from underneath
- Rafter and truss integrity
- Signs of past repairs or patches
From the Ground
- Gutter and downspout condition
- Granule accumulation in gutters (age indicator)
- Fascia and soffit damage
- Drip edge and starter strip
- Overall roofline for sagging or irregularity
- Siding and window trim for collateral hail damage
What you receive:
A same-day written report with timestamped photos of every finding. Use it for insurance claims, real estate negotiations, HOA records, or your own peace of mind. The report is yours regardless of whether you do any work with us.
Find Your Situation
Round Rock homeowners come to us for different reasons. Here's what we do for each.
"There was a hailstorm and I need to know if my roof was damaged."
Full hail damage assessment with insurance-ready documentation. We photograph every impact, measure damage density, and provide the report your adjuster needs.
"I'm buying a home in Round Rock and need the roof checked."
Pre-purchase inspection with detailed report. If we find issues, your realtor gets documentation for negotiations. Critical for homes built during Round Rock's 2005-2015 growth surge.
"I'm listing my Round Rock home and want to avoid surprises."
Pre-sale assessment so you know what buyers will find. We'll tell you what's worth fixing before listing, what's cosmetic, and what to disclose.
"My roof is getting old and I want to know how much time I have."
Remaining-life assessment. We'll tell you honestly: replace now, budget for next year, or relax—you have years left. No pressure to replace before it's necessary.
"I have a leak and can't figure out where it's coming from."
Leak source investigation. Water travels before it drips, so the stain on your ceiling may be far from the actual entry point. We trace it back to the source.
"A roofer knocked on my door and said I need a new roof."
Free second opinion from a local company. If you do need a roof, we'll confirm it. If you don't, we'll explain why and save you thousands.
"My insurance company wants an inspection report."
Professional report with measurements, photos, and damage assessment formatted for insurance review. We can meet with your adjuster on-site if needed.
"I just want to know my roof is okay."
Peace of mind inspection. We check everything, give you a full report, and if your roof is solid, we'll tell you exactly that. No upsell.

The Tech Corridor Timeline — Three Eras of Round Rock Roofing
Round Rock's transformation from small town to tech hub created distinct construction eras. Your inspection needs change based on when your home was built and which growth phase it came from.
Pre-Boom Round Rock
Pre-2000, Old Settlers, downtown, original neighborhoods
What we focus on:
- 25+ year roof lifecycle assessment — Honest evaluation of remaining service life before replacement becomes necessary.
- Foundation movement from decades on clay soil — Pulled flashing, shifted decking, and separated connections from years of settling.
- Multiple roof generations — Understanding the repair history and how previous work affects current condition.
- Original vs upgraded material documentation — Identifying what's original, what's been replaced, and what that means for insurance.
Tech Boom Era
2000-2015, Forest Creek, Teravista, Paloma Lake
What we focus on:
- Builder-grade materials showing their age — Entry-level shingles from the boom era are now 10-25 years old and often deteriorating faster than expected.
- 10-20 year replacement decisions — Many boom-era roofs are at the decision point: repair, maintain, or replace.
- Production-pace installation issues — Fast construction meant shortcuts. We check nail patterns, starter strips, and ventilation adequacy.
- Warranty expiration documentation — Many 10-year structural warranties are expiring. We document defects that may still be covered.
Current Growth Wave
2015+, Siena, newer Teravista phases
What we focus on:
- First-storm damage documentation — New roofs need baseline assessment after their first major hail or wind event.
- Builder warranty compliance — Identifying defects before warranty expiration while the builder is still responsible.
- Early wear detection — On 3-10 year roofs, we identify premature deterioration that shouldn't be happening yet.
- Baseline documentation for future claims — Establishing current condition before the next major storm hits.
The inspection is free. Knowing which Round Rock construction era your home belongs to—and what problems to expect—is what separates an honest assessment from a generic one.

What Round Rock Homeowners Say About Our Inspections
Real reviews from Williamson County homeowners who trusted us with their roof
Amanda Holloway
Had a bad hailstorm roll through our neighborhood near Old Settlers. Called Altair the next morning and they were on our roof by 2pm. Found damage I never would have seen from the ground. Their report made the insurance claim straightforward. Filed, approved, roof replaced—all within six weeks.
Derek Simmons
We were buying a home in the Teravista neighborhood and needed a roof inspection before closing. Altair came out same day, found hail damage the seller's inspector missed, and gave us a detailed report. We negotiated $8,000 off the price. Worth every minute.
Maria Espinoza
Our roof is 12 years old and I was worried it was time to replace. Altair inspected it and told us honestly—it has 5-7 years left if we fix a few minor things. They could have sold me a new roof but they didn't. That kind of honesty earned a customer for life.
Gregory H.
Had Altair do a pre-purchase inspection before buying our home. They found issues the home inspector missed—damaged flashing and improper ventilation. We negotiated $4,000 off the sale price based on their report. That inspection paid for itself many times over.
Laura S.
We schedule annual roof inspections with Altair and it has been worth every penny. They caught a small leak at a pipe boot last year before it caused any interior damage. Preventive maintenance saves money in the long run and these guys are thorough every single time.
Dennis W.
After the last storm, I wanted a professional opinion before filing an insurance claim. Altair inspected the roof, documented everything with photos, and gave me an honest assessment. Turns out we only had minor damage—they could have pushed for a full replacement but they were straight with us.

Round Rock Roof Inspection Questions
What Round Rock homeowners ask before scheduling an inspection
- Is the roof inspection really free in Round Rock?
- Yes. No invoice, no obligation, no hidden fees. We offer free inspections because it's how we build relationships with Round Rock homeowners. If your roof needs work, we hope you'll consider us. If it doesn't, we'll tell you and you owe us nothing.
- How long does a roof inspection take?
- A thorough inspection runs 45 minutes to an hour depending on roof size, pitch, and how much we find. Anyone who finishes in 10-15 minutes didn't actually inspect your roof—they glanced at it and decided what to sell you.
- Should I get an inspection after a hailstorm in Round Rock?
- Yes—every time. Williamson County is one of the most hail-active areas in Texas. Hail damage is often invisible from the ground but causes granule loss, cracked shingles, and compromised seals that lead to leaks months later. A free inspection after any significant storm is the smart move.
- I'm buying a home in Round Rock ISD. Can you inspect before closing?
- We do these constantly. Round Rock's housing market moves fast, so we can usually schedule within 24-48 hours. You'll get a detailed report with photos that your realtor can use in negotiations if we find issues.
- I'm selling my Round Rock home. Will you be honest if it's bad?
- That's the whole point. It's better to know what buyers will find before you list than to lose a deal during the inspection period. We'll tell you what needs fixing, what's cosmetic, and what buyers might flag.
- How do I know you won't just say I need a new roof?
- Check our reviews. We've been operating since 2008 and built our reputation on honesty. If your roof has 10 years of life left, we'll tell you. Our long-term business depends on trust, not one sale.
- Do you provide a written inspection report?
- Every inspection includes a written report with timestamped photos of every finding. It's yours to keep—use it for insurance claims, real estate negotiations, HOA documentation, or your own records. We email it same day.
- Can you help with an insurance claim for storm damage?
- That's a big part of what we do in Round Rock. We document hail and wind damage with the detail adjusters need: measurements, close-up photos, and professional damage assessment. We can also be on-site when your adjuster comes out.
- Another roofer told me I need a full replacement. Can I get a second opinion?
- Absolutely, and we encourage it. After storms, Round Rock gets flooded with out-of-town contractors pushing full replacements. We'll give you an honest second look. If you genuinely need a new roof, we'll confirm it. If you don't, we'll explain why.
- How soon can you come to my Round Rock home?
- Often same-day. Real estate inspections and post-storm assessments are time-sensitive, and we prioritize them. Call us and we'll get someone to your Round Rock address as quickly as possible.
- Do you inspect all roof types?
- Yes. Architectural shingles, 3-tab, metal, tile, flat roofs—we inspect every material common to Round Rock homes. Most homes here have asphalt shingles, but we see plenty of metal and tile in newer developments.
- My roof is 15 years old. Does that mean it needs replacing?
- Not necessarily. In Round Rock, age alone doesn't determine condition—hail history does. A 15-year-old roof that's dodged major storms might have years left. A 7-year-old roof that took a direct hit might need replacement now. An inspection tells you where your roof actually stands.
Stop Guessing. Get Your Roof Inspected.
In Williamson County's hail corridor, the difference between a roof that's fine and a roof that's quietly failing is one inspection. It's free, it takes under an hour, and you'll have a written report with photos by end of day. No pressure, no obligation—just answers.
