Inspection schedule
How often a North Texas roof should be checked
Have your roof inspected once a year, and again after any major hail or wind storm. In North Texas the storm trigger matters more than the calendar, because one hailstorm can undo years of a good roof.
The simple rule
Once a year is a good baseline for any roof. On top of that, get a look after any major hail or wind event. Both are free with Infinite Roofing, so there is no reason to skip either.
Why storms matter more than the calendar here
The Dallas Fort Worth area sits in a hail belt, and a single spring storm can bruise shingles across a whole roof without leaving anything you can see from the ground. A yearly check is smart, but the after storm check is the one that saves you from a surprise leak.
Older roofs need more attention
Once a roof passes about 10 years, it is worth checking twice a year, spring and fall. Small issues at that age turn into leaks faster than they do on a newer roof.
What a good inspection covers
- Shingles for bruising, cracking and lost granules
- Flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights
- Valleys where water concentrates
- Gutters and downspouts for granule buildup
- The attic for stains, daylight and moisture
Signs you should not wait for the next check
- Missing or lifted shingles after wind
- Granules piling up in the gutters
- A water stain on a ceiling or wall
- Daylight visible in the attic
- Any major hail storm over your neighborhood

Common questions
Straight answers
Anything else, ask me directly. You will get me, not a phone tree.
How often should I inspect a new roof?
Once a year is plenty for a newer roof, plus a check after any major hail or wind storm. Storm damage does not care how new your roof is.
Can I inspect my own roof?
You can look for the easy signs from the ground, like missing shingles or granules in the gutters. Getting on the roof is dangerous and best left to a pro, especially on a steep or two story home.
How much does a yearly roof inspection cost?
With Infinite Roofing it is free, with a photo report you keep. Many other roofers charge around $150 to $400 for a formal inspection.
Should I really inspect after every storm?
After every major hail or wind storm, yes. Damage is often invisible from the ground, and catching it early keeps a small problem from becoming a leak.
