Houston Roof Inspection Specialists — Detailed Storm, Hail & Wind Assessments for Homes Across the Metro Area
Sherlock Home Roofing provides roof inspections in Houston, TX designed for our Gulf Coast climate—heat, humidity, heavy rain, and frequent hail and wind. Our certified inspectors perform a full-system assessment that goes beyond surface shingles: we evaluate underlayment performance, flashing at chimneys, sidewalls, and valleys, penetration seals (pipe boots, vents, skylights), deck condition, and attic ventilation to pinpoint active leaks and developing problems before they turn costly. Whether you're dealing with a recent Houston hail storm, suspect wind damage from a fast-moving front, or just want peace of mind before buying or selling a home, we deliver a clear, photo-rich report that you can use for repairs, maintenance, or insurance documentation.
We proudly serve homeowners across Houston and the surrounding cities and suburbs—including Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, Spring, The Woodlands, Pearland, Pasadena, League City, Baytown, Richmond, Tomball, Humble, Missouri City, Friendswood, Conroe, and Rosenberg—with the same detective-level process every time: identify storm indicators, trace leak paths, verify manufacturer- and code-required components (intake/exhaust balance, drip edge, proper flashing), and prioritize next steps with honest, transparent recommendations. If a claim makes sense, our documentation helps you speak the same language as adjusters; if a claim isn't warranted, you still get a prioritized plan to extend roof life and protect your home.
What We Look For During a Houston Roof Inspection
- Shingle Field & Ridges: hail bruising, granule loss, wind creases, thermal cracking, nail pops, lifted tabs.
- Flashing & Transitions: step/headwall/counter-flashing, kick-outs at stucco/stone, chimney crickets, apron metal.
- Penetrations: pipe boots, box/whirlybird vents, skylights, satellite mounts, exposed fasteners, aging sealants.
- Valleys & Eaves: underlayment condition, ice & water shield placement, overflow pathways, drip edge detailing.
- Deck & Structure: soft spots, delamination, renailed sheathing needs, signs of long-term moisture.
- Ventilation: intake/exhaust balance, blocked soffits, ridge vent function—critical for shingle life in Houston heat.
When to Schedule a Roof Inspection
Book an inspection after hail or high winds, when you notice interior stains or musty odors, before real estate transactions, or every 12–24 months for preventative maintenance. Prompt documentation matters in Houston roof insurance claims, and early detection saves money by stopping small leaks before they reach framing and drywall. Learn more about the claims process in our Insurance Claim Timeline guide.
Hail Damage Detection
Houston experiences frequent hail events that can compromise your roof's integrity. We use proven techniques to identify hail impacts, bruising, and granule displacement that may not be visible from the ground. Our inspectors document all damage with high-resolution photos for your insurance claim. Check out our Hail Damage Checklist for more information.
