Why Regular Roof Inspections Matter in DFW

Imagine you’re up in your attic, looking through various boxes full of scrapbooks, unearthing old memories, when you finally find the box you’ve been looking for: one full of childhood pictures—except it’s wet. Ruined. You look around, only to find it sitting on a puddle of water. You look up and see it…drip…drip…drip. You think back to yourself, ‘Should I have gotten a roof inspection?’ Yes, you should have. 

A regular roof inspection may seem excessive and unimportant, but it's not. Roof inspections are paramount to both your home and business, as they can help prevent problems and costly repairs. More importantly, they keep invaluable family mementos safe and sound. With the unpredictability of Texas weather, especially in the DFW area, one thing you can always rely on is our trusty roof inspection services. 

Hail Storms 

Hail storms are a recurring thorn in the side of all DFW residents. Known to cause dents and cosmetic damage to cars, hail storms can also have a significant impact on your home, especially your roof. From punctures to cracked shingles, hailstorm damage can cause a plethora of problems, many of which require some serious handiwork, and even full-on replacements. Don’t wait for an emergency to occur, and call Parish Roofing for a roof inspection company you can trust. 

Severe Storms

The climate of DFW is known for its high winds, flooding, hailstorms, and tornadoes, all of which are bound to occur throughout the year. While they won't occur simultaneously, residents are sure to experience at least one of these natural phenomena. Severe storms in the DFW area can cause serious damage through heavy rain and strong winds, which can lead to structural damage to your roof. Keep a roof over your head with our reliable roof inspection services! 

Extreme Heat

The DFW area is known for its hot summers, with consistent temperatures in the 90° range, often reaching and exceeding the 100° mark. It may seem improbable that this can lead to roof damage, but extreme heat can pose a big risk to your roof. Popular roofing materials such as asphalt shingles suffer from thermal expansion and contraction, and when exposed to several cycles of this, over time, your shingles will crack and weaken at the joints. Additionally, extreme heat can also lead to roofing materials degrading at a faster rate, exposing your roof to the elements. It is important to keep your roof in check to prevent any serious damage from taking place. For all your roofing needs, you can always count on Parish Roofing!  

Commercial vs Residential Roof Inspections

While inspecting a roof may seem like a standardized practice, it is not so. At least not here at Parish Roofing Solutions. We go into every new project with the mindset that it is different from the last, no matter how similar it may be. From the scope of the project to differences in materials, down to the frequency of the inspections, there are lots of differences when it comes to commercial and residential roof inspection services. 

Scope of Inspection

One of the biggest differences between residential and commercial inspections is the scope of the project. Typically, when handling a commercial project, we tend to work with a larger area, and most of the roofs tend to be flat or have a low slope. On the other hand, residential roofs tend to be much smaller and pitched, and we also place extra attention on the interior of your home. 

Difference in Materials

A glaring key difference in residential and commercial inspections lies in the different materials used. Whereas homes typically opt for shingles, commercial buildings tend to use materials such as TPO, PVC, and EPDM.​​ This results in different inspection methods, as the signs of damage tend to materialize in different ways. 

Frequency of Inspection

It is typically recommended that commercial roofs be inspected twice a year, usually before and after the most severe weather seasons in your area, typically during the spring and fall. If you want to tread with caution, you could follow this same advice for a residential building. If not, you should at least check your roof once a year.

Does My Homeowners Insurance Cover a Roof Inspection? 

Unfortunately, homeowners insurance does NOT cover the costs of a customary roof inspection. What your home insurance can cover is the cost of repairs caused by fire, wind, and even hail. Your insurance company will need to inspect your roof in order to assess risk and liability, but the cost of these inspections will typically be out of your own pocket, unless otherwise stated. If you have any questions, you can contact us or speak directly with your insurance provider for clarification. 

How Much Does a Roof Inspection Cost in DFW?

There’s a lot that goes into factoring in the cost of a roof inspection, such as the size of your roof, the complexity of its design, accessibility to it, location, as well as the expertise of your roof inspector. While it can cost as little as $150 dollars, they can also cost you as much as $850. For the best pricing and inspectors in the DFW area, call Parish Roofing! We offer a free no no-commitment estimate to all our customers, ensuring a low roof inspection cost! 

Hail Damage and Insurance Inspections

You can’t rely on the DFW weather, it is unpredictable. One minute you’re out and about enjoying the sun's rays and the next you’re ducking for cover, looking for the nearest building trying to hide from strong winds, heavy rain, and even hail. At Parish Roofing Solutions, we believe that it is of the utmost importance to check your roof, especially after a storm. Roof damage can be hard to spot to the untrained eye, and if left unattended, it can cause a long-list of problems that can compromise your home and your safety. 

Following a hail storm it is important that you follow up with a roof inspection, as we can help provide your insurance company with the proper documentation needed to process a claim for storm-related damage.
