Fast, Reliable Roof Inspection Across North Dallas
A roof inspection in North Dallas typically costs $190 – $425 for a standard single-family home, depending on roof size, slope, and how many layers are up there. We inspect the shingle surface, flashing, valleys, penetrations, attic framing, and decking from underneath and up top. Call (903) 499-4441 to schedule yours, and you’ll have our written findings the same day.
North Dallas is our home turf. We know the sprawling ranches off Hillcrest, the two-story traditionals in Lake Highlands, and the estate roofs through Preston Hollow. We know what 1970s decking looks like when it’s been cooking under Texas sun for fifty years. That local knowledge changes what we look for, and what we find. Our crew arrives in uniform, background-checked, and on time. You’ll get a straight answer about your roof, not a sales pitch with a clipboard attached.
Why Brennan Roofing Co Dallas Is North Dallas’s Preferred Roof Inspection Company
Travis Oakley runs our North Dallas inspection crews, and he holds every job to The Garrison Standard: a written price before any work starts, technicians who show up inside the promised window, and a full-year written guarantee on every repair. That’s not marketing language. It’s the operating code we agreed to when we joined the Garrison Partners family, founded in 2000. Each location is independently owned, but we all answer to the same standard.
North Dallas homeowners call us because we answer the phone. A live person picks up, 24/7. No voicemail queue, no automated menu, no callback that never comes. When you call (903) 499-4441 about a roof inspection, you talk to someone who can schedule it. That matters after a hailstorm, when half the block is calling roofers and you need to know someone will actually show up.
Our inspectors spend their days on North Dallas roofs, not driving in from another county. They know that a 1978 ranch in Richardson and a 1962 two-story off Midway Road age differently. They know which subdivisions got original wood shakes, which got builder-grade three-tab, and which have been re-roofed two or three times. That’s the difference between an inspection that checks the surface and one that finds what’s actually failing under it.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Estimate in North Dallas
A Roof Estimate in North Dallas is the written number you get before any work begins, and it’s the first thing we deliver on every job. No work starts until that price is on paper and you’ve approved it. A standard roof estimate in North Dallas runs $0 for the inspection itself when it leads to a repair or replacement, with full replacement estimates typically ranging from $11,000 – $28,000 depending on square footage, tear-off count, and the material line you choose. We walk the roof, measure it, photograph every penetration, and document what’s failing. Then we sit down with you and explain the numbers in plain English.
Our estimates include line-item pricing. You’ll see the cost of decking repair, underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and the shingle system separately. That way you know exactly what you’re paying for, and you can adjust scope before we start instead of getting surprised mid-job. When we find something unplanned, an allowance is already written into the contract. The price goes on paper before we touch anything.
What the Estimate Covers
Every estimate includes a measured roof diagram, square footage, and a written description of the existing roof condition. We note how many layers are present, the condition of the decking, and whether the current ventilation meets modern code. If you have a steep roof with multiple valleys, we account for the extra labor and safety time that requires.
When to Get an Estimate
Get an estimate before the spring hail season if your roof is over 15 years old. Get one after any storm that dropped hail larger than a dime on your street. And get one if you’re buying or selling a North Dallas home, because a roof in question will stall a closing faster than any other single item on the inspection report.
Free Roof Inspection in North Dallas
A Free Roof Inspection in North Dallas is exactly what it sounds like: we come out, walk the roof, inspect the attic and decking, and give you our findings at no charge, with no obligation to hire us. This inspection typically runs $0 when it is part of a repair or replacement estimate. If a hail storm just rolled through, we’ll document damage and tell you honestly whether it’s worth filing a claim. We’d rather earn your trust with a straight answer than push a repair you don’t need.
Our free inspection includes photos of everything we find: missing granules, cracked shingles, rusted flashing, lifted nails, soft decking, and any evidence of water getting where it shouldn’t. You’ll see what we see. If your roof is fine, we’ll tell you that, too. Not every inspection ends with a work order, and that’s the way it should be.
What We Check
We inspect the shingle surface for granule loss and wind damage, the flashing at every valley, chimney, pipe boot, and skylight, and the attic for daylight coming through the decking. On North Dallas homes from the 1960s through the 1980s, we pay extra attention to the original decking and whether H-clips are present. Missing clips let panels flex independently, and overdriven nails that miss the rafter become shiners that fail after the first good hailstorm. We flag those specifically.
After a Storm
Hail damage doesn’t always show up at eye level. A roof can look fine from the street and be structurally compromised along the ridge line or in the valleys. Our post-storm inspections document granule loss patterns, bruising on the shingle mat, and any impact points at penetrations. That documentation is what your insurance adjuster wants to see, and we write it in their language.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Dallas
We install and service roofing systems from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, and we stock the parts that matter for North Dallas homes: matching ridge caps, starter strips, and flashing profiles that fit the architectural shingles common across Preston Hollow and Lake Highlands. When we find a section of GAF Timberline that’s failed or a CertainTeed valley that’s separating, we can source the exact replacement rather than slapping on whatever the supply house had left over. Fast turnaround on parts means shorter exposure for your decking and less time with a tarp on your roof.

AfterCommon Roof Inspection Problems We See in North Dallas Homes
- Shiners in original decking. North Dallas homes built between the 1960s and 1980s often have original wood decking without H-clips between the panels. When roofers overdrive nails and miss the rafter, those exposed nail points – shiners – sit just under the shingle and rust out, then leak at the first good hailstorm.
- Missing ice and water shield in valleys. The original 1980s underlayment on many North Dallas roofs was a paper-thin felt that disintegrates against the decking after four decades of Texas heat. We routinely find valleys with no ice and water shield at all, which is why wind-driven rain backs up under the drip edge and shows up at the soffit.
- Double-layer tear-offs hiding underneath. A 1970s ranch might have a second layer of shingles hidden under the top one. That doubles the tear-off cost and changes the ridge vent retrofit math. We find this before the quote is written, not after the crew starts pulling shingles.
- Corroded valley metal under a “hail repair.” A hail claim that only covers shingle replacement leaves the old flashing in place. If that flashing is corroded, the next wind-driven rain backs up under the drip edge and stains the ceiling. We inspect the valleys before quoting any repair, not just the shingle surface.
On a Preston Hollow estate with a failed valley, our crew pulled back the architectural shingles and found no ice and water shield under the original 1980s underlayment – just paper-thin felt disintegrating against the decking. We measured the slope and square footage, photographed each penetration, and wrote a repair allowance so the owner could approve the flashing and starter strip upgrade before we ever cut a new shingle. That’s how an inspection is supposed to work.

FAQs About Roof Inspection in North Dallas
Yes, every inspection includes the attic and decking. We go into the attic to check for daylight coming through the decking, rusted nails, and signs of water staining around penetrations. A surface-only inspection misses the shiners and failing underlayment that actually cause leaks on North Dallas homes from the 1960s through the 1980s. If a roofer won’t go in the attic, find another roofer. Call (903) 499-4441 to schedule a full inspection.
Yes, insurers accept reports that distinguish storm damage from pre-existing conditions, and most adjusters prefer that level of detail. We document the condition of the decking, the presence or absence of H-clips, and any shiners that predate the storm. That helps your claim get approved for storm damage without getting kicked back for pre-existing decking issues. Call (903) 499-4441 and we’ll walk you through what the report includes.
Partially. We can inspect the visible condition of the top layer, the attic-side decking, and the roofline from the eaves. What we cannot see is the condition of the wood shakes between the layers without removing a test section. We’ll tell you exactly what we can verify and what remains unknown before you spend money on a repair quote. Call (903) 499-4441 and we’ll give you an honest answer about your specific roof.
We check the manufacturer’s current installation specs for your shingle line and compare them against what we can observe at the roofline, in the attic, and at any exposed edges. That means verifying that nails are placed in the right zone, at the right spacing, and at the right depth. If a previous roofer cut corners on the nailing pattern, we’ll document it. Call (903) 499-4441 and we’ll put it in the inspection report.
Yes. Our free inspection covers the same ground as a paid one: shingle surface, flashing, valleys, penetrations, attic framing, and decking from underneath. We pull back a test section at the valley or drip edge when the roof shows signs of aging. Failing underlayment is exactly what we’re looking for because it’s the leading cause of decking rot on North Dallas homes. Call (903) 499-4441 to schedule yours.
