Roof Inspection in Lubbock, TX
A roof inspection in Lubbock tells you what shape your roof is in before a small problem turns into a big bill. We climb up, photograph what we find, and give it to you straight.
Free. About an hour. Photos you can keep.
When a roof inspection is the right call
A roof inspection is for anyone who is not sure what shape the roof is in. You do not need to see a leak first. These are the moments Lubbock homeowners call us.
- A hail storm or a hard wind just came through your street
- You are buying a house and want to know what the roof will cost you
- You are selling and do not want the roof to scare buyers off
- A stain showed up on a ceiling or a damp ring on a wall
- Granules are piling up where the downspouts drain
- Shingles look curled, cracked, or a few have gone missing
- The roof is getting old and nobody has looked at it in years
- Door knockers said the roof is damaged and you want a second opinion
In Lubbock the wait is what costs you. Storm season runs long here, and a small opening rides out the summer as a bigger one.
What a roof inspection includes
Our inspection is a real climb, not a look from the driveway. Here is what we check.
- The whole roof, walked slope by slope
- Shingles for hail bruises, granule loss, cracks and lifted edges
- Flashing around chimneys, walls, skylights and vents
- Pipe boots and the seals around every vent
- Ridge caps, valleys and roof edges
- Gutters and downspouts for granule buildup
- The attic for daylight, damp spots and airflow, where we can reach it
- Photos of everything we find, good or bad
Then we tell you what it means. If the roof is fine, we say so. If it needs work, you get a price in front of you before anything starts.

How the job runs
From the first call to the answer, it goes like this.
-
You reach out
Call us or send the form. We ask a few questions and set a time that suits you.
-
We climb up
A roofer walks every slope and checks the attic if you have one.
-
We photograph it
Every bruise, gap and lifted shingle gets a photo you can keep.
-
We walk you through it
Plain words. What is fine, what is not, and what each thing means for the roof.
-
You decide
If work is needed, you see the price first. If nothing is needed, we tell you that too and leave it alone.
Either way, you see the price before any work starts. That part never changes.
What affects the cost of a roof inspection in Lubbock
With us, nothing. The inspection is free and the photos are yours. If you are weighing a paid inspection somewhere else, or pricing the work one finds, these are the things that move the number.
- How big the roof is and how steep it runs
- How easy it is to get a ladder to it
- Whether you need a written report for a sale or a claim
- How much damage the inspector actually finds
- How far any damage has spread under the shingles
The honest order is inspect first, then talk money. A free inspection tells you what you are dealing with before anyone names a figure.
Roof inspection in Lubbock: what we see
Hail bruises do not show from a Lubbock driveway. A roof can look fine from the curb and be peppered with bruises and lifted shingles up close. We see it after every big storm: homeowners who watched the hail come down, looked at the roof from the lawn, saw nothing, and only found the damage when a ceiling stained months later.
Something else we see after every big storm: trucks with out-of-state plates working the neighborhoods, knocking doors with free inspections and a contract to sign. Some do decent work. Many are gone before the first callback. A local inspection with photos gives you a second opinion from someone who will still be on 1st Place next year.
And those photos matter past the roof itself. If the damage is real, an inspection report with clear pictures is what you hand your insurance company. It turns your word against a guess into a record of what was actually up there on a specific date.
Not sure what the last storm left behind? Call (806) 535-6570. The look costs you nothing.
Why Lubbock calls Rivera's
Rivera's Roofing is a local, owner-run roofing contractor in Lubbock. The Google listing says we have been roofing here since 1989, and the company is owned by Jaime Rivera Jr. and Micah L. Rivera. Micah runs the business side, and reviewers call her and team member Zenia out by name, which tells you how close the owners stay to each job.
When you call for an inspection you get us, not a call center. The same people who quote the work are the people who did the climbing. That is what our roofing services in Lubbock are built on: a straight answer, photos to back it, and a price before work.
Free inspection, real photos, no pressure to sign anything.
One thing worth knowing: Texas does not license roofers. Ask for proof of liability insurance and workers comp before anyone climbs your roof.
What Lubbock customers say
Real reviews from the Google profile, word for word.
"I was referred to Rivera's Roofing after the hail storm in June 2025. Zenia and Micah were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and quick. After the free inspection, Zenia helped with submitting the insurance claim and kept me and my insurance company updated throughout the process. Once the insurance claim was approved, Micah and her roofers got the roof replaced in one day and I am glad I went with their recommendation to use the darker color roofing material which improved my home's curb appeal."
"They were very nice fast, and pleasant they have my house looking good an they are very polite and friendly, professional and I really appreciate the work Rivera's done for me."
Roof inspection questions Lubbock homeowners ask
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes. The inspection, the photos and the estimate all cost you nothing. We look, we tell you what we found, and if the roof needs work we give you a price. You decide what happens next.
How long does a roof inspection take?
About an hour for most Lubbock homes. A big roof, a steep pitch or a lot of damage to photograph can stretch it. You do not have to be home for the roof part, though it helps if we can get into the attic.
After a Lubbock hail storm, can damage be seen from the ground?
Usually not. Hail bruises and granule loss only show up close, and lifted shingles lie back down flat. Months later the first sign inside is a ceiling stain. Someone has to get on the roof to know.
Will an inspection help my insurance claim?
Yes. A documented inspection gives your claim something to stand on. Photos and a written account beat a guess, and we help you file if there is a claim to make.
My roof is not leaking. Should I still get it checked?
After a big Lubbock storm, yes. Leaks are the last symptom, not the first. Catching damage early keeps it small and keeps you inside your insurance window.
What happens if you find nothing wrong?
We tell you, show you the photos, and leave. A clean bill of health is a good result. You will also have the pictures on file if a later storm hits and you need a before shot.
Do I need to be home for the inspection?
It helps but it is not required for the outside. If we can get into the attic we get a fuller picture, so being home is better. We photograph everything either way, so you see what we saw.
