Your roof is the one part of your house you can't really see — and the part that costs the most when a small problem is left alone. That's why All Star Roofing offers free roof inspections across Garland, TX: owner Marvin Rodriguez climbs up, looks at every slope himself, and tells you the truth about what he finds. Not a sales presentation. An answer.
Why a free roof inspection is worth your time
"Free inspection" from some companies means a foot in the door. From us it means what it says, and 200+ five-star Google reviews back that up. Gwen J. wrote that Marvin "was thorough with his inspection and made recommendations for only the needed repairs." If your roof is fine, you'll hear "your roof is fine" — and you'll know who to call the year that changes. After three decades roofing North Texas, Marvin has nothing to prove and no quota to hit. That's the whole reason the inspection can be honest.
What we check on a Garland roof inspection
- Shingles. Hail bruising, wind creases, cracking, curling, blistering, and granule loss that signals an aging roof.
- Flashing and penetrations. Chimney and wall flashing, valleys, pipe boots, and vent stacks — the places most leaks actually start.
- Ridge and vents. Ridge caps, ventilation condition, and dented or rusted vent caps.
- Decking. Soft spots underfoot that point to rot or old leaks below the shingles.
- Gutters and edges. Drip edge, fascia condition, and granules collecting in the gutters — an early warning sign homeowners rarely see.
- Interior clues, if any. Ceiling stains or attic daylight that tie back to a specific spot on the roof.
You get the findings straight, with photos of anything that matters, and a plain-English explanation of what needs attention now, what can wait, and what's just cosmetic.
When to get a roof inspection
- After a storm. Hail and wind damage often isn't visible from the driveway, and insurance claims are strongest when damage is documented early. If we find storm damage, we'll help with the claim — see how we handle insurance claims.
- Before buying or selling a home. A roof is one of the biggest line items in any Garland home sale. Buyers avoid inheriting a surprise; sellers avoid a renegotiation at the closing table. Either way, you want the answer before the option period runs out.
- When your roof is getting old. Asphalt shingle roofs in Texas heat age faster than the packaging suggests. If yours is 12–15+ years old, an annual look tells you whether you're maintaining a roof or budgeting for a replacement.
- When something looks off. A shingle in the yard, a stain on the ceiling, a lifted tab you can see from the street — small symptoms are cheapest to chase down immediately with a repair.
What happens after the inspection
One of three things, and you'll know which before Marvin leaves: your roof is healthy and you're done (no charge, no follow-up pressure); it needs a specific repair, quoted as one clear number; or it's damaged or aged enough that replacement makes more sense, in which case we'll explain why — and show you. A Rowlett reviewer described Marvin as "a honest reliable and fast roofer", and that's the standard on every driveway: straight answers, fast scheduling, and a phone that's answered every day from 6 AM to 10 PM.
