Your Roof's Biggest Enemy Is What You Can't See
Roofing problems don't announce themselves until they've already done damage. A professional inspection is the most cost-effective maintenance item a DFW homeowner can schedule - catching a $300 flashing fix before it becomes a $4,000 deck replacement. Every Commit Roofing inspection includes a written photo report with prioritized findings, not a sales pitch.
What We Inspect
- Shingle field: Granule loss patterns, cracking, curling, cupping, and impact damage - each pattern tells a story about underlying cause
- All flashing details: Chimney base and counter-flashing, step flashing at dormers and walls, pipe boots, skylight curb flashing, valley metal, drip edge - the leading cause of residential roof leaks
- Ridge and hip caps: The most wind-exposed components on any roof; missing nails and broken sealant are common findings
- Gutters and drainage: Pitch, attachment, flow path, downspout discharge locations - improper drainage causes eave rot and foundation stress
- Attic: Staining on rafters, daylight penetrations, moisture in insulation, ventilation adequacy - an under-ventilated DFW attic can hit 160°F in summer, accelerating shingle life from below
Types of Inspections
- Annual maintenance: Recommended fall, after summer heat - catches small items before they grow
- Post-storm: Essential after any DFW hail or high-wind event; fresh damage documentation is critical for insurance claims
- Pre-listing / pre-purchase: Gives buyers and sellers a clear, documented picture of the roof's condition and remaining life - avoids surprises at closing
