Roof Inspections
Your roof is your home’s first defense against the harsh Texas climate—yet it’s one of the most overlooked parts of your property. At Apex Roofing & General Contractors, we provide thorough roof inspections in San Antonio and surrounding areas. Whether you’re dealing with storm damage, planning a home sale, or just want peace of mind, our inspections help identify issues early before they become expensive problems.
We specialize in residential roofing systems that provide long-term value, energy efficiency, and protection. Our team understands the diverse home styles across Texas—from traditional ranch homes to contemporary builds—and we tailor solutions that suit your roof’s slope, structure, and aesthetic.
Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing choice for Texas homeowners due to their affordability, variety, and resilience. We install top-tier shingle systems that come in multiple textures and colors to match your home’s style. These shingles offer excellent waterproofing, UV resistance, and fire protection, making them a versatile and economical option.
From planning to final inspection, we deliver new roof installations with an emphasis on structural integrity and ventilation. Whether you’re building a new home or expanding your existing property, our crew ensures proper decking, underlayment, flashing, and shingle alignment.
If your roof is showing signs of age or storm damage, our replacement service provides a full teardown and rebuild with superior materials and expert workmanship. We help you choose the right roofing type, manage debris removal, and handle permits when required.
Leaks, lifted shingles, or interior water stains? Our roof repair service targets the root cause of the issue and resolves it fast. We assess for wind, hail, and moisture damage and recommend solutions that restore the health of your roof without unnecessary upselling. Timely repairs can extend the life of your roof by years.
Swift, expert storm damage repair to restore your roof’s integrity after hail, wind, or debris. We prevent further issues with fast service and durable solutions built to last.
Emergency roofing addresses unexpected issues like storm damage, sudden leaks, or fallen debris. Our team responds quickly to assess, stabilize, and repair roofing problems before they escalate further.
Regular roof inspections are key to detecting minor issues before they become major expenses. We provide professional evaluations of roofing systems for homeowners, buyers, and realtors. Our detailed reports include photos, recommendations, and an honest assessment of your roof’s condition.
Metal roofing is a long-term investment for those seeking durability, energy savings, and modern aesthetics. Our metal roofing systems are installed with expert precision, and they reflect UV rays to reduce heat absorption. They’re fire-resistant, storm-rated, and last up to 50 years with minimal maintenance.
Our commercial roofing team handles everything from flat roof systems to sloped structures for multi-unit buildings, offices, and retail properties. We understand commercial compliance, drainage requirements, and impact resistance.
Roofing for apartment complexes and multi-family buildings requires coordination, durability, and tenant-friendly timelines. We manage complex logistics, communicate clearly with property managers, and adhere to HOA guidelines.
Beyond roofing, we offer expert handyman services for property upkeep and minor repairs. From fascia and soffit fixes to gutter maintenance and carpentry work, our skilled crew helps keep your home or business in top shape, inside and out.

Exterior Assessment
We evaluate all visible and accessible components of your roofing structure from ground level, ladder access, or drone imaging.
- Check for missing, curled, or cracked shingles: These issues reduce waterproofing and are often early signs of hail or sun damage, especially common in Texas.
- Evaluate flashing integrity around chimneys, skylights, and valleys: Improper or deteriorated flashing accounts for nearly 90% of roof leaks. Our team verifies the sealant and fastening around all penetrations.
- Inspect fascia, soffits, and roof decking for rot
- Examine gutter systems and downspouts for clogs or granule buildup: Granules in your gutters indicate advanced shingle aging or hail bruising.
Interior Assessment
The attic tells a story your roof can’t hide. Here’s how we assess what’s going on underneath the shingles:
- Attic inspection for signs of leaks, mold, or daylight penetration: Daylight between rafters, musty odors, or water staining points to unresolved damage from previous storms.
- Insulation moisture levels and ventilation performance: Poor ventilation raises attic temps by 30–40°F in summer, baking your shingles from underneath.
- Structural observations for sagging or compromised beams: We check for warping, dry rot, and evidence of long-term leak exposure.
Drone & Digital Tools
- Use of drone photography for multi-story or steep-slope roofs
- Infrared scanning to detect hidden water intrusion
- Comprehensive digital report with images and recommendations

Why Roof Inspections Matter
According to Texas Department of Insurance, maintaining your roof through regular inspections can help homeowners avoid claim denials and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Texas experiences some of the most extreme weather patterns in the U.S., including hail, high winds, and prolonged heat. In fact, the Insurance Information Institute (III) reports Texas as one of the top states for hail-related insurance claims. Regular roof inspections not only help you prevent leaks and energy loss—they can also protect your insurance coverage and extend your roof’s lifespan.
Types of Roofs We Inspect
- Asphalt Shingle Roofs: Most common in residential homes. We look for granule loss, lifted tabs, and cracking.
- Metal Roofs: Checked for rust, fastener security, and panel uplift.
- Flat Roofs: Inspected for ponding, seam separation, and membrane blistering.
If your system needs work, we’ll advise whether it requires simple repairs or a complete roof replacement.
Benefits of Getting a Roof Inspection
- Prevent Expensive Repairs: Small issues like a loose flashing can lead to major leaks if left unaddressed.
- Insurance Claims Support: Accurate inspections provide documentation that strengthens your case after storm damage.
- Peace of Mind: Know exactly what condition your roof is in—before it causes trouble.
- Home Value Protection: Well-maintained roofs increase appraisal values and buyer confidence.
We work with real estate agents and property managers for same-day reports and priority scheduling. For projects involving storm recovery, visit our storm damage repair or emergency roofing service pages.
