San Antonio Roof Inspection
Legacy offers free roof inspections using both traditional methods and advanced drone technology. Our aerial inspections provide high-resolution imagery that catches damage invisible from the ground.

Our Inspection Process
- Schedule your free inspection online or by calling (210) 272-7272. Same-day appointments are often available.
- Our inspector arrives and begins with a ground-level exterior assessment of the roof, gutters, flashing, and drainage.
- We deploy drone technology for aerial views that capture damage and wear patterns not visible from the ground.
- Interior check: We look for signs of water intrusion, attic ventilation issues, and insulation condition.
- You receive a detailed written report with photos, findings, and honest recommendations. No pressure, no obligation.
Why Drone Inspections Matter
Traditional ladder inspections miss things. Drones give us a complete overhead view of every square foot of your roof in high resolution. We can zoom into problem areas, measure damage precisely, and create documentation that insurance companies take seriously.
Drone inspections are also safer. No one needs to walk on your roof (which can actually cause additional damage on older roofs), and we can inspect steep or multi-story roofs that would be difficult or dangerous to access by ladder.
Inspections are free and come with no obligation. We inspect Monday through Saturday, with same-day availability in most cases. Call (210) 272-7272 or book online.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof inspection cost?
Our standard roof inspections are completely free with no obligation. We inspect from the ground, with a ladder, or by drone, and provide a written report with photos. Roof certifications (2-year or 5-year documents for real estate transactions) start at $299.
How often should I get my roof inspected?
We recommend an inspection at least once a year and after every major storm. In San Antonio, spring hail season (March through June) makes a post-storm inspection especially important. Regular inspections catch small issues before they become expensive repairs.
What do you look for during an inspection?
We check for missing, cracked, or curling shingles, damaged flashing, gutter condition, ventilation, signs of water intrusion, and the overall condition of the decking and structure. Our drone inspections also capture areas that are difficult to see from a ladder.
How long does a roof inspection take?
A standard inspection takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on the size and complexity of the roof. We provide results the same day, either on-site or via email with photos and a written summary.
Do I need a roof inspection before selling my home?
While not legally required in Texas, a roof inspection or certification gives buyers confidence and can prevent deal-killing surprises during the buyer inspection. Many San Antonio real estate agents recommend getting a roof certification before listing.
