Professional Roof Inspections for Homes and Businesses
Worried about the condition of your roof? Wondering if you have hidden damage after a storm or years of wear and tear?
At Allen Roof Repair Company, we provide thorough, honest roof inspections for both residential and commercial properties. Whether you’re dealing with an active leak, suspect storm damage, or simply want peace of mind, our experienced team gives you a clear picture of your roof’s health and what to do next.
Our goal is simple: protect your building, your budget, and the people inside by catching problems early and explaining your options in plain language.
Do You Need a Roof Inspection Right Now?
Some roof issues can’t wait. If you’re seeing any of the signs below, you should schedule an inspection as soon as possible:
- Active leaks or water stains on ceilings or walls
- Recent hail, heavy wind, or severe storms in your area
- Missing, curling, or cracked shingles on your home
- Sagging areas or visible damage on a flat commercial roof
- Granules from shingles collecting in gutters or on the ground
- Increasing energy bills without a clear cause
- Roof nearing the end of its expected lifespan
A professional inspection from Allen Roof Repair Company helps you understand if the problem is minor and easily fixed, or if it could lead to costly interior damage, mold, or structural issues if ignored.
What Our Roof Inspection Includes
Every roof inspection we perform follows a detailed process designed to catch both obvious and hidden issues. We adjust our approach slightly depending on whether the roof is residential or commercial, but the goal is always the same: complete clarity on your roof’s condition.
Exterior Roof Evaluation
We start with a careful visual inspection of the exterior roof surface:
- Checking shingles, tiles, or metal panels for cracks, curls, dents, and displacement
- Inspecting flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents, and walls for gaps or rust
- Looking for soft spots, blistering, or ponding water on flat or low-slope roofs
- Examining ridges, valleys, and roof edges where leaks are most likely to start
- Noting any storm-related impact marks, especially from hail or wind-blown debris
This helps us identify current damage as well as areas that are likely to fail in the near future.
Interior & Attic Inspection
When accessible, we also inspect the inside of your home or building:
- Checking the attic or upper ceilings for signs of moisture, staining, or mold
- Looking for daylight through the roof deck or gaps around penetrations
- Assessing insulation for water damage or compression
- Evaluating ventilation to see if heat or moisture is being trapped
These interior clues often reveal issues that are not yet obvious from the outside but can cause serious long-term damage.
Roof Components & Accessories
A roof is more than just shingles or membrane. During your inspection, we also review:
- Condition of roof vents, pipe boots, and other penetrations
- Seals and caulking around joints and flashing
- Condition of fascia and soffits near the roofline
- Transitions between different roofing materials or structures
Even small failures in these areas can create leaks, so we take the time to examine them carefully.
Residential Roof Inspections
Your home’s roof protects your family, your belongings, and your investment. Our residential roof inspections are designed to give homeowners straightforward answers and practical next steps.
Common Reasons Homeowners Schedule Inspections
Homeowners call Allen Roof Repair Company for an inspection when they:
- Notice leaks, ceiling spots, or peeling paint indoors
- Are buying or selling a home and want a professional opinion on roof condition
- Experience a major storm and need to check for hail or wind damage
- Want to plan ahead for repair or replacement before an issue becomes urgent
We focus on explaining what we see in simple terms, showing you any problem areas, and outlining options that fit your budget and timing.
What You Can Expect as a Homeowner
When we inspect your residential roof, you can expect:
- A thorough walk-around and, where safe, walk-on roof inspection
- Photos or clear descriptions of any damage or concerning areas
- An honest assessment: whether your roof just needs small repairs, maintenance, or is approaching the end of its life
- A straightforward discussion about your options and priority levels
We don’t push unnecessary work. Our job is to inform you, answer your questions, and help you make a confident decision for your home.
Commercial Roof Inspections
Commercial roofs face different challenges than residential roofs—larger areas, more equipment, and heavier foot traffic from maintenance crews. A small issue can quickly become a big, expensive problem if it goes unnoticed.
Why Regular Commercial Inspections Matter
For commercial property owners and managers, inspections help:
- Protect inventory, equipment, and tenant spaces from water damage
- Document the condition of the roof for warranty and insurance purposes
- Catch small issues in seams, flashing, and penetrations before they escalate
- Plan budgets for repairs and eventual replacement instead of reacting to emergencies
Whether you manage a single building or multiple properties, Allen Roof Repair Company can provide consistent, reliable inspections tailored to your roof type.
What We Look For on Commercial Roofs
During a commercial roof inspection, we pay special attention to:
- Seams, laps, and transitions in single-ply membranes or built-up roofing
- Ponding water, drainage issues, and clogged or inadequate roof drains
- Condition of rooftop units, curbs, and penetrations where leaks often start
- Surface wear, punctures, or damage from foot traffic or equipment
- Perimeter flashing and terminations at walls, parapets, and edges
We provide you with clear findings so you can prioritize what needs to be addressed now versus what to monitor over time.
The Allen Roof Repair Company Inspection Process
We believe a roof inspection should be simple and stress-free for you. Our process is straightforward:
1. Initial Discussion
We start by talking through your concerns:
- What prompted the inspection: leak, storm, sale, routine check, or age
- Any problem areas you’ve noticed inside or outside
- Details about your property and roof type
This helps us focus on what matters most to you and your building.
2. On-Site Roof Inspection
Next, our technician performs the inspection itself:
- Evaluating the roof surface, edges, flashing, and penetrations
- Checking the attic or interior ceilings when accessible
- Noting any signs of damage, wear, or potential future issues
Safety is a priority. If certain areas are not safely accessible, we’ll explain that and adapt our methods as needed.
3. Findings and Recommendations
After the inspection, we walk you through what we found:
- Overall condition of the roof
- Specific issues that need immediate attention
- Areas to watch and maintain over time
- Practical recommendations that fit your situation
You’ll know whether your roof is in good shape, needs minor repairs, or is approaching the point where replacement should be planned.
4. Clear, No-Pressure Next Steps
If repairs or further work are recommended, we can provide:
- Transparent, itemized estimates
- Priority levels so you know what’s urgent and what can wait
- Timeframes for how long the work will take once scheduled
You’re never pressured into making a quick decision. We’re here to advise, not to upsell.
When Should You Schedule a Roof Inspection?
For most property owners, regular inspections can prevent surprises and extend the life of the roof.
Recommended Inspection Timing
We generally recommend:
- At least once a year for commercial roofs
- Every few years for residential roofs, or more often as they age
- After any major storm with high winds or hail
- Before buying or selling a property
- When you notice any changes: leaks, stains, missing materials, or sagging
If you’re unsure whether it’s time, it’s usually better to check and find nothing serious than to wait until a small problem becomes a big repair.
