Fast, Reliable Roof Inspection Across Houston
A roof inspection in Houston typically costs between $220 and $475 for a thorough evaluation, with most homeowners paying around $300 for a detailed written report that includes photos and findings. We dispatch from our Houston office and serve every neighborhood between the 610 Loop and the Beltway. There’s no reason to guess what your roof looks like after the last hailstorm-if you need Roof Repair in Houston, we can assess the damage. Call (940) 461-8481 and we’ll put an inspector on it.
We know what Houston weather does to a roof. The heat, the humidity, and the storms that roll through in April and May aren’t the same as what a roofer in Dallas deals with. When we inspect a home in Katy, Spring Branch, or the Heights, we look for what Houston actually throws at a roof: wind-driven rain, uplift damage on aging composition shingles, and the kind of slow leak that doesn’t show itself until the drywall stains in September. Our team knows the difference between a roof that looks fine from the curb and one that won’t survive the next named storm.
We’re Brennan Roofing Co Houston. Every inspection is done by a background-checked, uniformed technician. You get a written report, a written price for any repairs, and a straight answer. That’s Roof Inspection in Houston done the way it should be.
Why Brennan Roofing Co Houston Is Houston’s Preferred Roof Inspection Company
We operate under The Garrison Standard. That means a written price before any work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians on every job, and a full-year written guarantee called the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t done right, we make it right at no charge. That guarantee is in writing, for one full year.
Homeowners in Houston call us because they’ve been burned before. They’ve had roofers no-show, shift the price at the door, or send a crew they wouldn’t let in the front door. Travis Oakley runs this location with a simple rule: the crew that shows up is the crew you were told about. Uniformed. Background-checked. Accountable. That matters when you’re letting someone onto your roof.
Our Roof Inspection team answers the phone with a live person around the clock. No voicemail, no automated system, no callback queue. When a storm rolls through Houston at midnight and you want to know if your roof took damage, you get a human on the line. That’s the standard, and we don’t lower it.
Styles & brands we work with
Commercial Roof Inspection in Houston
Commercial Roof Inspection in Houston carries different stakes than a residential check. Flat and low-slope roofs on office buildings, warehouses, and retail centers across Houston take a beating from standing water after heavy rain and relentless UV exposure in July and August. A commercial inspection from Brennan Roofing Co Houston typically runs $500 to $900 depending on roof size and access, and includes a written report documenting membrane condition, flashing points, drainage, and any active leaks with photos.
Full Commercial Inspection Report
We walk the entire roof surface, not just the obvious problem spots. We check flashing at HVAC curbs, pipe penetrations, and parapet walls. We document every crack, blister, and ponding area. You get a written report you can hand to a property manager, a lender, or an insurance adjuster.
Storm Damage Documentation for Commercial Claims
When a hailstorm hits the industrial parks off Highway 225 or a wind event tears through the Energy Corridor, commercial property owners need documentation that holds up. We photograph damage, mark affected zones, and provide a written assessment that supports an insurance claim. The report is specific, dated, and signed by Travis Oakley.
Roof Inspection Services in Houston
Roof Inspection Services in Houston are not all the same, and homeowners deserve to know what they’re actually getting. A standard inspection with Brennan Roofing Co Houston covers shingle condition, flashing integrity, underlayment, decking, vent boots, drip edge, and the nailing patterns that determine whether your roof meets Houston’s wind load requirements. Residential inspections in Houston generally run $220 to $475 depending on roof size, pitch, and number of stories.
Wind Mitigation Inspection
This is the inspection that matters most in Houston. We verify whether your roof meets ASTM D3161 Class F wind ratings, confirm nailing patterns, and document every wind mitigation feature on the roof. The report is what your insurance company wants to see before they renew a policy in Meyerland, Braeswood, or any flood-prone neighborhood.

AfterCommon Roof Inspection Problems We See in Houston Homes
- Missing or failed nailing on starter strips. Older composition shingle roofs built in the 70s through 90s often don’t have enough nails, or the nails missed the decking entirely. The roof looks fine from the street and fails when the wind catches the first row.
- No ice and water shield at the eaves. Houston gets horizontal rain. Without a proper barrier at the eaves, wind-driven rain gets under the first course of shingles and rots the decking from the edge inward.
- Underlayment that doesn’t meet ASTM D226 Type II. Houston’s humidity can saturate cheap underlayment, breaking it down years before the shingles fail. We see this constantly in older sections of Sharpstown and Alief.
- Un-documented wind mitigation features. A roof may actually have upgraded fastening or impact-resistant shingles, but if nobody documented it, the insurer doesn’t care. Homeowners lose premium discounts they’ve already paid for.
Pricing for Roof Inspection in Houston, TX
Let’s put the numbers on the table. A residential roof inspection in Houston runs $220 to $475 with Brennan Roofing Co Houston. The price depends on roof size, pitch, and number of stories. A one-story ranch in Pasadena costs less to inspect than a three-story townhome in Montrose with a steep pitch and limited access.
Commercial inspections run $500 to $900 depending on square footage and roof type. Every inspection comes with a written report, photos, and a written price for any recommended repairs before any work starts. The estimate is free. Call (940) 461-8481 and we’ll schedule the inspection and give you the exact price on paper before we show up.
Houston’s amended building code requires roofs in wind-borne debris regions to meet ASTM D3161 Class F wind ratings at 110 mph or better. After Hurricane Harvey, insurers began demanding documented wind mitigation inspections before renewing policies in flood-prone neighborhoods like Meyerland and Braeswood. A compliant inspection report from us gives your carrier exactly what they’re asking for.
When we inspected a 1990s tract home in Meyerland, our tech found missing nailing on the starter strip and no ice and water shield at the eaves. A cheap quote leaves those details out. We flagged the decking for soft spots and specified architectural shingles rated to 130 mph with six nails per shingle. The homeowner’s insurer accepted our documented report and renewed without forcing a full replacement. That’s the difference between an inspection that looks at the roof and one that actually documents what the code and the carrier require.

FAQs About Roof Inspection in Houston
Yes. Houston’s amended building code requires roofs in wind-borne debris regions to meet ASTM D3161 Class F wind ratings at 110 mph or better. Many of the architectural shingles we specify, including lines from GAF and CertainTeed, are rated to 130 mph, which exceeds the local minimum and qualifies for insurance premium discounts in many cases. Call (940) 461-8481 and we’ll verify what your current roof meets.
A documented wind mitigation inspection is what many Houston insurers now require before renewing policies in Meyerland, Braeswood, and other flood-prone neighborhoods. The report verifies fastener patterns, underlayment type, and shingle wind ratings. If the documentation is missing, the carrier may require a full replacement or decline renewal. Our report satisfies the documentation requirement.
A compliant report from Brennan Roofing Co Houston verifies nailing patterns, underlayment to ASTM D226 Type II, starter strip fastening, drip edge, and ice and water shield at the eaves. It confirms the shingle wind rating and documents everything for your insurer. A cheap quote checks for visible damage only. The difference shows up at the next insurance renewal.
Yes. We check for failed seal strips on shingles, improper nailing at the rake edges, and gaps at flashing points where wind-driven rain enters before the decking ever stains. Houston’s horizontal rain finds those entry points fast. Call (940) 461-8481 to schedule an inspection, and we’ll tell you exactly where your roof is vulnerable.
A general roof inspection documents condition, damage, and remaining life. A wind mitigation inspection verifies and documents specific features that affect wind resistance: fastener count and placement, nailing pattern, underlayment type, shingle wind rating, and roof-to-wall connections. In Houston, the wind mitigation report is what insurers actually act on.
