Real Estate Roof Inspections in Georgetown, TX

---

The roof is one of the most consequential — and most commonly misunderstood — elements of any real estate transaction. A roof problem discovered late in a deal can kill the contract, trigger a last-minute price renegotiation, or leave a new homeowner facing a significant unexpected expense within months of moving in.

The solution is straightforward — get a dedicated roof inspection by an experienced roofing professional early in the process. Not a general home inspector scanning the roof from the ground, and not a roofing contractor angling for the replacement job. An honest, experienced roofer with no agenda other than telling you exactly what is on that roof.

That is what Mahan HCS provides for Georgetown and Williamson County real estate transactions. We have been inspecting, repairing, and replacing roofs in this community since 2012 and we understand the unique demands of a real estate timeline.

Home sellers preparing to list. Knowing your roof's condition before you go to market means you control the situation. Surprises during a buyer's inspection period give buyers leverage and put your sale price at risk. A pre-listing roof inspection lets you address issues on your own timeline — and in many cases use the insurance process to fund a full replacement before the home ever hits the market.

Home buyers during due diligence. A general home inspection provides a broad overview of the property but rarely gives you the roofing-specific detail you need to make an informed decision. A dedicated inspection by an experienced roofing contractor tells you the roof's current condition, what repairs are needed, approximately how much life remains, and whether any storm damage is present that could warrant an insurance claim.

Real estate agents. Whether you represent the buyer or the seller, a fast, reliable, professional roof inspection protects your client and your transaction. Mahan HCS works directly with Georgetown area agents and can be scheduled by an agent on behalf of their client. Billing information is required from the homeowner or buyer upon scheduling.

Mahan HCS real estate roof inspections are performed by Jesse Mahan — a professional roofing contractor with over a decade of experience in Georgetown and Williamson County. Jesse gets on your roof personally and conducts a thorough assessment of its condition.

Your inspection includes:

A comprehensive photo inspection report documenting the overall condition of the roof with clear photographs of every area inspected — including any items requiring repair, maintenance, or further attention. This is not a checkbox form — it is a detailed photographic record of exactly what is on your roof at the time of inspection.

Identification of repair and maintenance items with enough detail for you, your agent, or the other party in the transaction to understand the scope and significance of any issues found.

Storm damage assessment. If hail or wind damage is present we document it thoroughly. If the date of loss falls within your homeowner's insurance policy's claim window we can discuss the insurance process and help you initiate a claim if circumstances warrant.

Exterior documentation on request. Upon request we can extend our documentation to include exterior components beyond the roof — gutters, flashing, fascia, soffits, and other storm-related items. This is particularly useful when a comprehensive exterior assessment is needed for a transaction.

Important note: Jesse Mahan is a professional roofing contractor — not a licensed home inspector. Our inspection is roofing-specific and focused on the condition, remaining life, and repair needs of your roofing system. For a full home inspection covering all systems and components, a licensed home inspector should be engaged separately. Our inspection is designed to complement the general home inspection with a level of roofing-specific expertise that a general inspector cannot provide.

Real estate roof inspections are priced based on the size and complexity of the roof including steep pitch and high roof conditions:

$85 — $225 depending on roof size, pitch, and complexity.

Inspection fee credited toward work. If Mahan HCS performs any repairs or replacement on the inspected property, the full inspection fee is credited toward that work. The inspection pays for itself the moment you move forward with us.

We understand that real estate transactions move fast and due diligence periods have hard deadlines. Most Mahan HCS real estate roof inspections are scheduled, completed, and delivered within 24 to 48 hours of booking. Your photo report is delivered promptly so you and your agent have the information you need to make decisions without delays.

To ensure the fastest possible turnaround, contact us as early in your due diligence period as possible. We will do everything we can to accommodate your timeline.

One of the most valuable things a pre-listing or pre-purchase roof inspection can uncover is storm damage the homeowner never knew existed. Hail damage in particular is frequently invisible from the ground and can go undetected for months or even years after a storm event.

If storm damage is found during your inspection and the date of loss falls within your insurance policy's claim window — typically one year from the date of the storm in Texas — the standard insurance process applies. This means a roof replacement that might otherwise come out of pocket could instead be funded through your homeowner's insurance claim.

For sellers this can be transformative. Rather than negotiating a price reduction or scrambling to fund repairs before closing, a successful insurance claim can fund a full roof replacement — presenting buyers with a brand new roof and removing one of the most common transaction obstacles entirely.

For buyers this is equally valuable. Discovering storm damage during due diligence creates an opportunity to negotiate for the seller to address the claim before closing — or to factor the repair cost accurately into your offer.

Mahan HCS is experienced in identifying storm damage, establishing dates of loss, documenting everything an insurance adjuster needs to see, and working directly with your carrier through the claims process. We work with all major insurance carriers and attend adjuster meetings on your behalf to make sure nothing is overlooked.

If storm damage is present and a replacement is warranted, sellers sometimes hesitate because they don't have the cash to cover their deductible upfront — particularly in the middle of a transaction with closing costs, moving expenses, and everything else involved.

Mahan HCS can be added to your HUD settlement statement, allowing your insurance deductible to be deferred and paid at closing from your sale proceeds rather than out of pocket before closing. This makes a full storm restoration accessible to sellers who want to present buyers with a completely restored home without the financial strain of covering a large deductible mid-transaction.

This process requires coordination between Mahan HCS, your real estate agent, and your title company — all of which we are experienced in facilitating. If you are a Georgetown area agent whose client needs this option, call us and we will walk you through the process.

If your pre-listing inspection results in a full roof replacement installed by Mahan HCS using a CertainTeed Integrity Roof System, your new roof qualifies for the CertainTeed 3-Star SureStart PLUS warranty — fully transferable to the buyer within the first 10 years.

A transferable 20-year non-prorated warranty covering 100% of materials, labor, and tear-off costs is a meaningful differentiator in a Georgetown real estate transaction. It removes the roof from the negotiating table, gives buyers documented confidence in one of the home's most important systems, and can be a deciding factor when a buyer is choosing between comparable properties.

Mahan HCS welcomes relationships with Georgetown and Williamson County real estate agents. We understand the demands of a transaction timeline, we communicate clearly and promptly, and we deliver the documentation your clients need in the format that is most useful for the transaction.
