The roof is your home's first line of defense against Southeast Texas weather — we catch worn coverings, failing flashing, and hidden attic moisture before they turn into costly water damage.
A roof and attic inspection is a close evaluation of the roof covering, flashing, and drainage, along with the attic space beneath it — including structure, ventilation, insulation, and any visible signs of leaks or water intrusion. John Leonard Jr. checks the roof and works his way into the attic to see how it's really holding up.
The roof takes constant punishment from sun, wind, and rain, and small problems — a lifted shingle, a cracked boot, a clogged valley — have a way of becoming expensive interior damage if they go unnoticed. Catching them early keeps water out and protects everything below.
John performs roof and attic inspections throughout Conroe and Montgomery County as a State of Texas Certified Real Estate Inspector (TREC License #24516). Your findings are documented with photos and delivered in a detailed digital report, typically within 24 hours.
John evaluates the roof from covering to attic, documenting condition and any signs of trouble.
Shingles or tiles, flashing, valleys, and roof penetrations, along with visible wear and remaining service life.
Gutters, downspouts, and how water is directed off the roof and away from the foundation.
Rafters, decking, and structural visibility from within the attic, plus any signs of sagging or damage.
Attic ventilation, insulation coverage, and the moisture or staining that signals a hidden leak.
A roof rarely fails all at once. It starts with a small breach — a worn shingle, a failing seal around a vent — that lets water in a little at a time. By the time a stain appears on the ceiling, the decking, insulation, and framing may already be affected.
Poor attic ventilation makes it worse, trapping heat and moisture that shorten the life of the roof and drive up cooling costs. An inspection tells you what shape the roof is really in and how much life it likely has left.
Whether you're buying a home and want to avoid inheriting a roof problem, or you're a seller who wants no surprises, a roof and attic inspection gives you the facts before they cost you.

It covers the roof covering, flashing, valleys, and penetrations, the gutters and drainage, and the attic beneath — including structure, ventilation, insulation, and any signs of leaks or moisture. John documents everything with photos and explains what he finds in plain language.
John evaluates the visible condition and wear of the roof covering and notes signs of aging or damage, which gives you a practical sense of its remaining service life. It's not a warranty, but it helps you plan and budget with realistic expectations.
Proper attic ventilation moves heat and moisture out of the attic. When it's inadequate, trapped moisture can lead to mold and rot, and trapped heat shortens roof life and raises cooling costs — so it's an important part of every roof and attic inspection.
Yes. John looks for the tell-tale signs of active and past water intrusion — staining, damaged decking, and moisture in the attic — and documents where a roof or flashing issue is letting water in.
