Is Your Roof Ready for Summer? 5 Signs It’s Time for a Mid-Year Inspection

In Central Texas, your roof takes a beating year-round — but summer is when the real stress begins. Between spring hailstorms, intense heat, and unpredictable weather patterns, your roof could be silently suffering damage that leads to costly repairs down the road.

The good news? A mid-year inspection can catch small issues before they become big problems. Here are 5 clear signs it’s time to schedule your summer roof inspection — and why now is the smart time to do it.

1. You’ve Had a Hail or Windstorm in the Last 6 Months

Even if you don’t see visible damage, hail and high winds can loosen shingles, compromise flashing, or create hidden leaks. Central Texas is no stranger to sudden storms — and your roof may be hiding damage you won’t notice until it’s too late.

Pro tip: Insurance claims are easier to file and more likely to be approved when inspections are done soon after a storm.

2. You’re Seeing Shingle Wear or Granule Loss

If you notice shingles curling, cracking, or shedding granules (check your gutters!), that’s a sign your roof is losing its protective barrier. Heat and UV exposure accelerate this wear — especially under the Texas sun.

A quick inspection now could save you from a full replacement later.

3. Your Energy Bills Are Creeping Up

High energy bills in summer might not just be your AC — they could be your roof. Damaged or poorly insulated roofing allows heat to penetrate your home, making your HVAC work harder. A mid-year inspection can spot ventilation or insulation issues.

4. You’ve Had Small Leaks or Water Spots Inside

Water stains on your ceiling or a mysterious drip during storms? Even if the leak seems minor, it's a red flag. Summer storms can push minor issues into full-blown damage. An inspection now ensures you’re not caught off guard.

5. You Haven’t Had a Roof Inspection in a Year (or More)

Roofs age silently. If it’s been over a year since your last inspection — or if you've never had one — it’s time. Roofing materials expand and contract in extreme heat, and small cracks can become leaks faster than you think.
