Inspection First, Always
We inspect before we recommend. We never suggest a replacement when a repair is the right call.

Understand the roof before closing.
Get photos, a written condition summary, and an estimate when the roof needs work. Share your closing date and the report requirements so we can confirm the visit and what we can provide.
We Help Buyers, Sellers, and Agents Alike
Buyers can use the findings to understand the roof they are considering. Sellers can identify work to discuss before listing or closing. Real estate agents can share the report with the parties involved and coordinate questions about the roofing scope.
What Our Roof Inspection Includes
An on-roof inspection where conditions allow; photos and a written condition summary; areas that need attention and any inspection limitations; a repair quote or replacement proposal when needed. Ask us for a digital report you can forward to the buyer, seller, or lender.
What If Repairs Are Needed?
If the roof needs work, we explain what we found and provide a written scope and estimate. Tell us your closing deadline so we can confirm scheduling and material availability before you make a commitment.
What you can expect
Clear from the start.
Hands-On Roof Inspections
Inspections are performed on-roof by a trained technician wherever conditions allow, supplemented by aerial imagery when safety requires it — never a windshield assessment.

Before you decide
A few good questions.
How long do roofs typically last?
Central Texas UV, heat, thermal cycling, and hail shorten roofing life compared with manufacturer marketing ranges. Asphalt shingles have a broad 10–20-year range; product and installation affect where a roof falls within it. Standing-seam metal commonly lasts 40–70 years. Tile and slate can last 50+ years as materials, though the underlayment beneath tile needs replacement sooner. TPO membranes commonly last 20–30 years. Ventilation, installation quality, and maintenance affect the life a particular roof delivers. These are material ranges, not a diagnosis of an individual roof.
What steps are involved in a comprehensive roof inspection?
A thorough inspection includes examining shingles, flashing, ventilation, gutters, and checking for leaks or structural damage.
What is the process for scheduling a roofing project with Zilker Roofing?
Call us or use our online form to discuss your roof and arrange an inspection. Inspections are complimentary for most homeowners; if extensive attic access or documentation is needed, a flat rate is quoted upfront.
Do you Offer Warrantied Roofing Work?
Roof replacements carry Zilker Roofing's 5-year workmanship warranty, and repairs carry a 2-year workmanship warranty. The manufacturer's material warranty is separate; its coverage depends on the product and installed system. We document the applicable terms in writing.
