This is the La Coste page for roof inspection. The short version: you want an honest read on the roof's condition before buying, selling, insuring, or filing a claim, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteRoofs here tend to go longer between inspections, so damage from two or three storms ago is often still sitting there when someone finally looks. This is the edge of the hail belt: storms are less frequent than up the I-35 corridor, but the ones that arrive are the same size. Decade built, number of previous roofs, and any additions all move the number here, which is why a quote starts with a short conversation about the home's history.
What it costs in La Coste: many roofers inspect free in hopes of a job; a paid independent inspection removes that incentive and is worth it for real estate transactions or insurance disputes.
Texas has no statewide roofing contractor license, which is exactly why we vet partners on insurance, manufacturer certification, and BBB standing instead of taking a business card at face value.
How it works
In Florida, for any roof over 15 years old, effectively yes — carriers want a report showing five or more years of remaining life. In Texas it's less formal but increasingly common on older roofs.
For surface condition, yes, and it's safer on steep or tile roofs. It can't check nail pull-through or feel for soft decking, so it's a complement to a physical inspection, not a replacement, when the roof is questionable.
Texas has no statewide roofing contractor license, which is exactly why we vet partners on insurance, manufacturer certification, and BBB standing instead of taking a business card at face value. La Coste is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
