Free Roof Inspection in Houston, TX
What a Free Roof Inspection Actually Tells You
Most people schedule a roof inspection because something has already caught their attention. Maybe a stain appeared after the last storm, the house is getting ready to go on the market, or the roof is simply old enough that it makes sense to check its condition before a small issue becomes a larger one. Whatever brings you to Petrus Roofing, every inspection includes the same thorough 7-point review of the roof and attic, with the findings documented along the way.
You’ll receive more than 50 photos and videos showing what we actually found, along with a plain-language explanation of what it means and what, if anything, should happen next. That recommendation might be a repair, a replacement, or no action at all. You also keep the full record, giving you useful documentation to have on hand if an insurer, buyer, or real estate agent ever asks for it.
When to Schedule a Roof Inspection
There's no wrong time to have a roof looked at, though a few situations make it worth doing sooner:
After a Storm
Wind and hail damage isn't always visible from the ground, so we document what's there before a small problem turns into a leak. Some signs of roof damage are visible from the driveway, and those are worth knowing.
Buying or Selling a Home
A real estate transaction moves fast, and we put the same documented information in front of everyone at the table instead of a guess.
An Aging Roof
Older roofs don't fail on a schedule, so we catch wear while it's still a repair instead of a replacement.
Routine Peace of Mind
Some homeowners simply want to know where things stand, and we can usually answer that in under an hour. That's why roof inspections matter even on a roof that looks fine from the driveway.
What Happens During Your Free Roof Inspection
Roof Walk
We walk the full roof, checking shingles, seams, and every plane for missing or damaged material.
Attic Check
The attic shows trouble before a ceiling does, so we go up looking for moisture, soft decking, and ventilation problems.
Vent Pipe and Flashing Review
Cracked boots and corroded flashing cause more quiet leaks than almost anything else, so we check both closely.
Gutter and Granule Check
Granule buildup in the gutters is often the first real sign that a shingle roof is nearing the end of its service life, so we check what the gutters have caught.
Photo and Video Documentation
Everything gets documented, more than 50 photos and videos per inspection, so you see the same roof we saw.
Plain-Language Findings and Recommendation
We walk you through what we found and give you a straight recommendation on repair, replacement, or no action needed.

What We Check by Roof Type
Asphalt shingle, metal, and tile roofs fail differently, so we look for different warning signs depending on what's on your house.
Asphalt Shingle
We check for curling, missing granules, and cracked shingles, along with the flashing and ventilation that decide how long the roof actually lasts. Petrus is a GAF Certified Plus contractor, so we measure shingle findings against what the manufacturer expects from a correct installation.
Metal
Seams, fastener points, and panel edges are where a metal roof is most likely to develop a leak over time, so those get our closest look.
Tile
We check for cracked or displaced tiles, and for the underlayment beneath them, since tile commonly outlives the layer that does the actual waterproofing.
Related Roofing Services
An inspection ends with a recommendation, and most recommendations land on repair, replacement, or routine upkeep.
Roof Repair
For the issues an inspection finds that are contained enough to fix instead of replace.
Roof Replacement
For roofs an inspection finds are past the point where a repair makes sense.
Roof Maintenance
Routine upkeep between inspections, where we catch small issues before they need a repair.
Emergency Roof Tarp
Immediate protection when we turn up storm damage that needs covering right away.
Learn More About Financing
If we turn up work your roof genuinely needs, cost is usually the next question. We'll walk you through the financing options available so the decision stays about the roof, and we can go through them at the same visit.
In life, there are no guarantees. In roofing and solar, there’s the Petrus Workmanship Warranty.
Materials carry a manufacturer warranty. The installation is the part you can't inspect once the crew leaves, and that part is on us. Alongside the applicable manufacturer warranty, we back our roofing work with our Rock-Solid, 5-Year Workmanship Warranty.
Why the Inspection Comes Before the Recommendation
An inspection without documentation is just an opinion, and an opinion is easy to bend toward the bigger job. Every Petrus inspection produces the same photographic record whether the answer turns out to be repair, replacement, or no action needed, so the recommendation stands on evidence you can check yourself.
