Hail, heat, and time are hard on San Antonio roofs. Find out the real condition of the roof — and how much life it has left — from an experienced inspector.
A roof replacement is one of the largest single expenses a homeowner can face, and a roof in poor condition can affect insurance, financing, and resale. A roof inspection from ATD Property Inspections is a detailed evaluation of the roof covering, flashing, penetrations, drainage, and the attic below it, documented with photos and a clear written report.
When a roof certification is needed, Daniel Windler documents the roof's visible condition and provides his estimate of its remaining useful life. Buyers, sellers, lenders, and insurance companies use this information to make decisions. Whether a particular insurer or lender will accept a certification is up to them, so it's smart to confirm their requirements before scheduling.
Daniel brings 35 years of construction experience to the roof and attic, where many leaks are first visible from below long before they show on a ceiling.
A roof inspection answers the questions buyers, sellers, and insurers all ask.
Document the roof's condition after hail and severe weather.
Get an experienced estimate of how many years the roof has left.
Provide documentation when an insurer or lender asks about the roof.
Plan for repairs or replacement before they become urgent.
South Texas roofs face a tough combination: spring hailstorms, high winds, intense UV, and months of triple-digit heat that bake shingles and dry out sealants. Hail damage in particular can be hard to spot from the ground, and bruised or granule-worn shingles can age much faster than expected.
Many leaks begin at flashing, valleys, and roof penetrations rather than in the middle of the roof. Checking those details, along with the attic for water stains, daylight, and ventilation, gives a far more accurate picture than a quick look from the driveway.
If you're buying, selling, or renewing insurance on a home with an older roof, a professional inspection gives you facts to work with instead of guesses.
Every roof inspection covers the roof system and the attic beneath it.
A roof inspection documents the condition of the roof. A roof certification adds Daniel's estimate of the roof's remaining useful life, in a format that can be shared with buyers, lenders, or insurers.
Requirements vary by company. Check with your insurer or agent first to confirm what they need, then call or text Daniel at 210-216-4322.
Daniel will document visible damage consistent with hail and other storm damage. For an insurance claim, your adjuster makes the final determination.
When it can be done safely, yes. Steep, wet, or fragile roofs may be inspected from a ladder or other safe vantage points instead.
A good rule is once a year and after any major storm, especially for roofs more than ten years old.
