Chris & Greyson Buster, Owners · About us

What we inspect

Shingles and surface

Granule loss, cracking, curling, hail bruising and wind damage across every slope.

Flashing and penetrations

Chimneys, walls, skylights, pipe boots and vents, where a lot of leaks start.

Valleys and edges

Valley wear, drip edge, and signs of water getting under the shingles.

Ventilation

Intake and exhaust balance, which affects shingle life in Texas heat.

Attic and decking

Stains, daylight, soft or delaminating decking, and moisture.

Drainage

How water leaves the roof, since water that backs up at the edges shortens roof life.
