A Free Roof Inspection That Gives You a Straight Answer
We get on the roof, photograph every slope, and tell you whether you are looking at a repair, a replacement, or nothing at all.
The Question Almost Everybody Calls Us With
Somebody is standing in the driveway after a storm holding a piece of shingle they picked up off the lawn, and they want to know one thing: is the roof finished, or is this nothing?
You cannot answer that from the ground, and you cannot answer it from a photo of one shingle. Hail damage in particular is close to invisible from the driveway. What it does is knock the granules off the surface and bruise the mat underneath, which you can only see and feel up close. Meanwhile real problems that have nothing to do with the storm, a split pipe boot or failed chimney flashing, are sitting there in plain view of anybody who climbs up.
So we climb up. That is the whole inspection, and it costs nothing whether you hire us afterwards or not.
What We Do While We Are Up There
A roof inspection that is really a sales visit takes four minutes and ends with a contract on the kitchen table. Ours takes longer and ends with photographs.
- Every slope, not the one facing the street. Storms come from a direction. The Claremore survey from June 2023 recorded shingles stripped from the west side of a roof specifically. A drive-by look at the front of the house would have missed it entirely.
- The penetrations. Pipe boots, vents, chimney and sidewall flashing, skylights. This is where the large majority of leaks we fix actually originate, storm or no storm.
- Granule loss and bruising. The hail damage assessment. We look at the gutters too, because that is where the granules end up.
- The decking, where we can read it. Soft spots underfoot tell us a leak has been running long enough to rot plywood.
- The attic, if you will let us. Daylight through the deck and staining on the rafters say more than the shingles do.
- Photographs of all of it. You get the pictures. If there is damage, those same photos are what an insurance adjuster needs to see.
Then you get a plain answer. Sometimes the answer is that the roof is fine and we will see you in a few years, and that happens more often than people expect.
Your Town's Storm Record Is Not Your Roof's Record
Something worth understanding about storm data, because it trips people up when they try to research this themselves. The National Weather Service logs severe weather against named reporting points, not against addresses. Tulsa's reporting point has eighty-two logged severe events over the past decade, the most active of any town we serve. Collinsville, far smaller, has fifty-eight.
Meanwhile Sand Springs and Mannford have none at all. Zero logged hail or wind events at their own reporting points across the entire ten-year window. That is not because the weather spared them. It is because storms crossing those towns get recorded under the adjacent Tulsa, Osage County and Sapulpa reporting points instead.
So if you look up your town and find nothing, that tells you very little about your roof. And if you look up your town and find a dozen events, that still does not tell you whether your particular house was under the core of any of them. The only way to know what happened to your roof is to look at your roof.
Why It Is Free, Since Everyone Wonders
There is no catch and no fee, and we are not going to pretend there is no business reason. We have been doing this out of Jenks since 1998 and most of our work comes from people who were told the truth once and remembered it. An inspection that finds nothing wrong costs us an hour and sometimes earns a call three years later. That trade has worked out for twenty-five years.
What we will not do is manufacture a problem. If somebody tells you after a four-minute look that your roof needs replacing and the paperwork needs signing today, get a second opinion, from us or from anyone else.
If we do find storm damage, the photographs from the inspection are the starting point for an insurance claim, and there are deadlines on those, so it is worth not waiting. If what we find is a leak, that is a repair. If the roof is genuinely at the end, replacement is the conversation, and you will have photos in hand before you have a price.
