Inspect annually and after every hail event. Many established Dallas companies inspect free, hoping to earn the repair; independent paid inspections ($150–$400) make sense before a home purchase. Fast-responding, certified companies from our audit: Arrington Roofing, Kidd Roofing, Bert Roofing.
A real inspection covers shingles, flashing, penetrations, decking (from the attic), gutters, and ventilation — and ends in a written, photographed report you can hand to an insurer.
