Roof Inspection in Round Rock, Texas

What a roof inspection costs in Round Rock

Nothing, when you call or text. Round Rock sits inside the first drive band on our fee ladder, where the inspection and the written report are $100, paid at the visit, booked by call or text or through the online calendar. The only other price on this page is the $50 remote estimate, which is for homeowners anywhere in Texas who want numbers without a visit; in Round Rock you do not need it, because we can be on the roof.

Free does not mean quick or thin. The same walk, the same photos and the same report go to a Round Rock homeowner as to a homeowner three hours away who paid for the drive. The difference is only the drive.

What the inspection covers on a Round Rock roof

Most Round Rock roofs we see are architectural asphalt shingle on homes built between 1990 and 2010, in neighborhoods like Forest Creek, Behrens Ranch, Teravista, Walsh Ranch and Brushy Creek. Half the city's homes were built before 2001, so a roof put on with the house is at or past the twenty-year mark. That shapes the walk.

• Shingle condition: granule loss, lifted or creased tabs from wind, cracked sealant lines, and the exposed nail heads that start most slow leaks.
• Soft metals: vents, pipe boot collars, flashing and gutters hold hail strikes long after shingles stop showing them. We photograph them at close range with a reference for size.
• Penetrations and transitions: pipe boots, chimney flashing, satellite mounts, and the roof to wall junctions where a second story meets a lower roof. The roof to wall repair we filmed in Round Rock started exactly there.
• Inside where it shows: ceiling stains, attic staining under valleys and vents, and whether the attic can breathe.

Only what is visible goes in the record. If we cannot see it, the report says so instead of guessing.

Why Round Rock roofs get inspected after storms

The National Weather Service storm database holds 219 hail reports within ten miles of Round Rock since 2000, 71 of them with stones of 1.75 inches or larger. The biggest stones on record here were 4 inches, on May 14, 2008 and again on September 24, 2023. The 2023 season was the busiest in the record, with 21 reports of hail at 1.75 inches or larger. April and March are the peak months.

That history is why a Round Rock inspection is usually one of two things: a homeowner who heard hail and wants to know if the roof is damaged, or a homeowner buying or selling a house who wants a dated record before the closing. Both get the same report. If the roof shows storm damage, the report is written so you can set it beside an adjuster's findings; if it does not, the report says that too, and you keep it as a baseline for the next storm.

Recent Roof Shepherd work in Round Rock

Round Rock is home, so the record here is the longest. In September 2026 an inspection on a Round Rock home led to a documented insurance roof replacement, contracted with the homeowner after their carrier's review. The same month another Round Rock roof had a tune-up. One Round Rock homeowner wrote on Google that we found the source of a leak and had it fixed within a couple of hours; another, in October 2026, wrote that the people were great and the work was stellar. Those reviews are on our reviews page and on Google, in full, with our replies.

Permits and code in Round Rock

The City of Round Rock says on its building page that it does not require a permit for a residential re-roof. The city adopted the 2024 International Residential Code by Ordinance O-2025-335, effective January 1, 2026, and that code does not exempt roofing work, so the no permit position is the city's stated practice rather than a written exemption. For an inspection none of this matters; for a repair or replacement that follows one, it is worth knowing before a contractor bills you for a permit: the city's position and its adopted code do not agree, so the answer for your address is confirmed, not assumed.
