A roof inspection is not a quick glance from the ground. A thorough inspection covers every surface, penetration, and drainage point on your roof — and extends to the attic interior. Here is what No BS Roofing checks on every inspection in Kerrville and the surrounding Hill Country, and why each area matters.
Shingle field condition
The main field of the roof — the large flat sections between ridges and valleys — gets inspected for granule loss, cracking, curling, blistering, and impact damage. On a hail inspection, each area of impact damage gets photographed and measured. On a maintenance inspection, the inspector notes areas approaching end of service life or showing accelerated weathering. No BS Roofing uses a written inspection form that documents findings by section.
Ridge caps and hip areas
Ridge caps are the overlapping shingles that cover the peak of a roof. They take direct impact from hail and UV from multiple angles. Cracked, loose, or missing ridge caps allow water intrusion at the highest point of the roof — where it can spread across the attic before being noticed. Hip areas (the angled ridges on hip-style roofs) get the same inspection as flat ridgelines.
Flashings at all penetrations
Flashings are the metal pieces that seal the joint between roofing material and chimneys, pipe boots, vent stacks, dormers, and skylights. Flashing failures cause more leaks in Hill Country homes than shingle failures. No BS Roofing inspects every flashing on every roof — step flashings along dormers, counter-flashing at chimney bases, and pipe boot rubber seals around plumbing vents. Cracked or lifted pipe boot rubber is one of the most common sources of active leaks in Kerrville homes.
Valley condition
Valleys — the V-shaped channels where two roof planes meet — concentrate water flow during rain events. They require proper underlayment and flashing to direct water off the roof without infiltration. No BS Roofing inspects valleys for granule loss, exposed underlayment, and any signs of lifting or separation at the edges.
Gutters and fascia
Gutters attached to a properly installed roof should show granule accumulation only after storm events — not continuously. Granules in gutters during dry weather indicate active shingle degradation. Fascia boards (the wood trim behind gutters) can rot when gutters overflow due to blockage or improper slope. No BS Roofing checks gutter condition and slope as part of every roof inspection.
Attic ventilation and deck condition
A roof inspection that does not include the attic is incomplete. No BS Roofing inspects the attic for adequate ventilation (ridge-to-soffit airflow), signs of moisture or mold from past leaks, and the condition of the deck from below. Deck inspection from the attic reveals delamination, rot, and soft spots that cannot be seen from above.
