Free storm damage inspection, no obligation.
A quick look from the ground won't tell you whether a storm hurt your roof. We get up there and give you a straight answer across the DFW Metro.
Absolute Professional Roofing Contractors offers free storm damage roof inspections across the DFW Metro, covering Plano, Dallas, Frisco, McKinney, and the surrounding towns we work in. We're a licensed Texas roofing contractor (TX #80001716) and GAF factory-certified. After a storm passes through, we get on the roof, photograph what we find, and hand over an honest, detailed inspection report the same day.
Do I need a professional inspection after a storm even if I don't see damage?
Yes, because most storm damage isn't visible from the ground. Hail bruises the shingle mat and knocks granules loose without leaving a hole you'd notice from the yard, and wind breaks the seal on shingles without necessarily tearing any off. Insurance policies also have a limited window for reporting storm damage, so damage that goes unreported for too long starts to read as ordinary wear and tear rather than something the storm caused. A free inspection settles the question one way or the other before that window matters.
Signs worth having checked
Granules building up in the gutters
A noticeable amount of granules at the downspouts after a storm points to hail impact on the shingle surface, even if nothing looks obviously wrong up top.
Dented or dinged soft metal
Vents, gutter caps, and other soft metal on and around the roof dent easier than shingles, so damage there is often the first visible sign hail hit the property.
Missing or lifted shingles after high wind
A shingle standing up at the edge or missing outright after a windy storm usually means the seal has broken on more shingles than just the one you can see.
Exterior collateral damage
Bent screens, dinged siding, or damaged fins on the outside AC unit often line up with the same storm event and are worth flagging alongside the roof.
What we're checking for
Hail impact across the shingle field
We check every slope for the bruising and granule loss pattern that hail leaves behind, since it's rarely visible from the ground.
Wind uplift at edges and the ridge
We lift-test shingles along the perimeter and ridge cap, the areas where wind damage shows up first.
Age-related vulnerability
An older roof takes more damage from the same storm than a newer one would, so we factor the roof's condition into what we're seeing.
Debris impact
Falling limbs and blown debris can crack shingles or punch into the decking, which we check for from both the roof surface and the attic side.
What to expect during the visit
We inspect the roof and document any hail or wind damage with photos, walking every slope so nothing gets missed. We tell you plainly whether there's damage worth filing a claim over or whether the roof came through fine. If there is damage, we walk you through what the adjuster meeting looks like and what documentation you'll want ready. Either way, you get an honest, detailed report the same day, with no pressure to move forward if the roof checks out clean.
Related services you may need
If the inspection turns up damage, next steps run through Roof Repair for a targeted fix or Roof Replacement if the damage is widespread. Gutters that took hail or wind damage in the same storm get addressed together with the roof.
The cost of waiting
Storm damage that goes unreported doesn't stay the same, it keeps working on the roof underneath. Bruised shingles lose more granules with every sun cycle, and a broken shingle seal leaks with the next rain. On top of that, insurance policies have a limited window to file, so a delay in getting the inspection done can turn covered storm damage into an out-of-pocket repair later.
Is the storm damage inspection really free?
Yes, the inspection is free with no obligation to move forward. We get on the roof, document what we find, and give you a same-day report regardless of whether you decide to file a claim or do any work.
What happens if you don't find any damage?
We'll tell you that directly. The report covers what we found on every slope, and if the roof came through the storm clean, there's no push to file a claim or schedule work you don't need.
How soon after a storm should I get an inspection?
Sooner is better, mainly because insurance policies limit how long after a storm a claim can be filed. Getting the inspection scheduled while the storm is still recent keeps that option open if damage turns up.
If a storm rolled through your part of the DFW Metro, call us and we'll get out to take a look. It costs nothing to find out where your roof actually stands.
