Why this combination
Roof Repair tuned for new homebuyers.
This page is for buyers under contract who want a roof-specific opinion before the inspection contingency expires, and for new owners who closed recently and want to know what they have. It applies across the metro, from newer subdivisions in Georgetown, Round Rock, Buda, Leander, Dripping Springs, and Kyle where the first replacement is a decade out, to 1980s and 1990s homes in Cedar Park, Leander, Leander, and Buda where the roof may be closer to done than it looks. It also applies to a first house in Onion Creek, Circle C, or Southpark Meadows, where the roof can be the biggest single line item in the purchase. If your only information about your roof is one line on a general inspection report, this is written for you.
Within that, roof repair is one of the workstreams (4 total) we run for new homebuyers. The scope, cadence, and reporting are tuned to the operational reality of this audience — not a generic roofing checklist.
How we approach it:
Small fixes now, before they become water damage
Most new-owner inspections turn up a few small things: a cracked pipe boot, exposed nails at the ridge, a loose piece of flashing, a downspout that dumps at the foundation. These are $350 to $1,500 repairs that prevent the kind of slow leak that ruins drywall and insulation over a winter. We quote them at a fixed price, fix them in a visit, and photograph the result. It is the cheapest roofing money you will ever spend.
What goes wrong
Common roof repair failure modes for new homebuyers
Failure patterns we see across new homebuyers accounts — the ones our scope is designed to prevent.
One vague line on the inspection report
General home inspectors look at a lot of house in three hours, and the roof usually gets a look from the ground or the ladder. 'Appears serviceable' can mean anything from twenty years of life to a roof that is one storm from a claim. A roof-specific inspection gets on the roof, checks every slope, every penetration, the valleys, the flashing, and the attic, and gives you a remaining-life estimate you can plan around. It is free, and it takes about an hour.
Hail damage from before you owned the house
A lot of Austin homes went through a hail event a spring or two ago and nobody documented it. The seller may not have known. If that damage shows up when your insurer inspects, or when the roof starts leaking, you are in a gray area: the storm happened before your policy started and the seller's claim window may have closed. Check your policy and talk to your agent. What we can do is document what is there now so you have a clear record going forward.
No baseline when the first storm hits
Next spring, hail will come through somewhere in the metro. If it hits your roof, the adjuster's first question is what the roof looked like before. Without a baseline, storm damage and pre-existing wear get argued about and claims get scoped light. A dated inspection report with photos of every slope, taken when you moved in, is the best evidence you can have. Most homeowners never think to get one until it is too late.
Builder-grade roofs and new-construction shortcuts
New homes in Georgetown, Round Rock, Buda, and the north suburbs are not immune. Builder-grade three-tab shingles, missing ice and water shield, poorly sealed step flashing, and pipe boots that crack in five years are common on production homes. A new roof is not the same as a well-built roof. We check the details that builders skip, document them while the builder warranty is still in effect, and tell you what to push back on.
