Flat Roof Inspection in Austin TX

Find out what your roof actually needs before someone tells you to replace it.

We inspect flat roofs across the Austin metro, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Kyle and Buda, on garden-style apartment communities, condominium buildings, mid-rise multifamily and commercial properties.

Drone survey is part of how we cover Austin buildings, and it is worth being clear about where it helps. It is the right call on a 200-unit community where walking every section would take days, on roof areas that should not be walked, and for documenting the whole roof plan in overhead images a board can follow. What a drone cannot do is press on a soft spot, lift a seam edge, open a flashing detail or take moisture readings, so we use it to find the areas worth looking at closely and then verify by hand. We fly inside FAA rules for the airspace, which around parts of Austin means checking authorization first, and we let management know in advance.

A tune up and a full replacement sit at opposite ends of the same report, and most Austin roofs land in between. A tune up reseals terminations, rebuilds the flashing details that are starting to go, clears the drains and patches open seams, which buys years at a fraction of replacement cost when the membrane still has life and the insulation is dry. When moisture readings show the assembly is saturated, we will tell you plainly that a tune up is money spent on a roof that will keep leaking. The useful time for all of this is before budget season, so a board can fund roof work on purpose instead of emergency-funding it mid-year, and so a reserve study is working from real condition rather than a nominal service life.
