Lifetime Roofing of El Paso inspects roofs for free, and you get a free written estimate within 48 hours. You don’t need an insurance claim, and you don’t need a job.
You might have a ceiling stain, shingles in the yard after a hard wind, or a roofer at the door who said the roof looked old. You might just want to know what’s up there. Any of those is reason enough to call for a roof inspection.
Homeowners have good reasons to be wary of a free inspection. Here’s what they worry about, and beside each worry is what Lifetime Roofing of El Paso does about it.
The free inspection turns into a sales pitch for a roof replacement.
We quote a repair when a repair will do.
The inspection form turns out to be a contract.
The inspection commits you to nothing. What you get afterward is a written estimate.
A roofer stops by and says the roof looks old.
We document the damage we find, so you’re going on more than a roofer’s word.
“never called back”
Our phones are answered 24/7, and you have one contact from the first call.
“was a no-show”
If the crew is running late, you get a call.
Rotted wood gets left in place and covered over.
We check the decking, the boards under the roof covering, during the inspection.
It’s free. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso inspects roofs at no charge for every caller, and the written estimate is free too.
Do I need an insurance claim for a roof inspection?
No. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso inspects your roof with or without a claim. You can decide about filing one after you’ve seen the written estimate.
Do I have to hire you after the inspection?
No. No job is needed. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso gets you the written estimate within 48 hours, and you can compare it with any other roofer’s quote.
Will you tell me I need a new roof?
Only if a repair won’t do. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso quotes a repair when a repair will do, and the written estimate says what we found the roof needs.
Lifetime Roofing of El Paso has been family owned since 2009 and in El Paso since 2019. Daniel Smith, our manager, is your one contact, and our own crew comes to your home, not subcontractors. Texas has no state roofer license, so to protect your home, ask roofing companies for proof of insurance before they get on your roof.
How a free roof inspection works,call to written estimate
1
Call, and a person answers
Dial (915) 353-3934 at any hour and tell us what you’ve seen, even if that’s nothing yet.
2
We walk the roof
NRCA’s Mark Graham says a roof “cannot be truly inspected from the ground or a ladder,” so we get on it. We check the shingles or panels, flashing, valleys, and vents.
3
We check the attic and decking
NRCA says a roof check should look inside too. We walk the attic where it’s reachable and check the decking from there and from the roof.
4
We document the damage
We document any damage we find, storm damage included. If you file a claim, our Insurance Claim Documentation starts from that record.
5
Free written estimate within 48 hours
You get the work we recommend and its price on paper within 48 hours of the inspection. The estimate is free.
The visit depends on your roof type and how we get to it. The price doesn’t, because the inspection is free either way. If we find damage, each roof type has its own repair.
A blister forms when gases in the asphalt expand, and it can look like a hail hit. Up close they’re different, and granule loss alone isn’t proof of hail.
A hail hit circled in chalk
A hail hit
The hits fall at random across the roof.
Each one feels soft, like an apple bruise, where the shingle’s inner mat is fractured.
Vents, gutters, and A/C units show matching dents.
A blister
It leaves a steep-sided pit, usually early in the roof’s life.
The spot feels firm.
Vents, gutters, and A/C units show no matching marks.
The roofing trade group NRCA advises an inspection every spring and fall, plus after severe weather. In El Paso, that means wind, hail, or a monsoon storm.
After the heat
70 daysat 100 degrees in 2023, the record
Heat ages asphalt shingles, south-facing slopes first. Signs include alligatoring, which is surface cracking, and stair-step splits.
After a hard wind
84 mphpeak gust on record
A shingle holds on by its seal strip. Once that bond fails, its wind resistance drops sharply.
After a monsoon storm
June 15 to Sept. 30
A bad flashing can sit dry for months in El Paso, and then one monsoon storm shows you the leak.
Free and written, within 48 hours of the inspection

More questions aboutyour roof
Does homeowners insurance cover a damaged roof?
Your policy decides. If you file a claim, Lifetime Roofing of El Paso documents the damage and writes the estimate, and your insurance company makes the call.
Can a roof inspection affect my home insurance?
Your insurer’s can. The Texas Department of Insurance says insurers inspect when you apply and may charge more or refuse based on it. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso can show you what’s on your roof first.
Should a 20 year old roof be replaced?
Age alone won’t tell you. South-facing slopes age faster than the rest of a roof, so Lifetime Roofing of El Paso checks the whole roof and quotes a repair when a repair will do.
Will you check a roof another roofer said needs replacing?
Yes. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso gives every caller a free inspection and a free written estimate, so you can put our answer beside the other roofer’s.
Can I pay for roof work over time?
Ask about financing. Financing is available from Lifetime Roofing of El Paso if the inspection turns up work you need done, and we offer a 5% military discount.
We inspect roofs across El Paso, from the East Side and West Side to Central, the Northeast, the Lower Valley, the Upper Valley, and Kern Place. Our free inspection also reaches Anthony, Canutillo, Clint, Fabens, Horizon City, San Elizario, Socorro, Vinton, and homes off post at Fort Bliss.
