Summers here climb past 100 degrees and winters bring the occasional pounding storm rolling off the Sierra. That combination is hard on roof decking, flashing, and sealant. Travis Oakley, who leads Brennan Roofing Co Fresno, built this location around a simple idea: homeowners deserve a roofing company that puts the price on paper before any work starts and guarantees that work in writing for a full year. That is the Garrison Standard, and it applies to every inspection we perform in Fresno, Clovis, Sanger, and the surrounding communities.

We are an independently owned and operated member of the Garrison Partners family, founded in 2000. We do not operate like a faceless national chain. We answer our own phones, we know the neighborhoods, and we stand behind what we find on your roof. If you are searching for a Roof Inspection in Fresno, you have found a local crew that treats your roof like it belongs to a neighbor, because it usually does.

Roof Inspection Services

Roof Inspection Services cover a systematic walk of your entire roof system: shingles or tile, flashing, drip edge, underlayment, penetrations, valleys, and attic ventilation. In Fresno, most homeowners call us for one of three reasons: they see a stain on the ceiling, they are buying or selling a home, or they have not had the roof looked at in five or more years. A standard residential inspection runs $150 to $400, and you receive a written report with photos the same day, usually before the technician leaves the driveway.

Brennan Roofing Co Fresno sends a uniformed, background-checked technician to every inspection. No subcontractors, no day-labor crew, no one you have to second-guess letting onto your property. Travis Oakley holds every report to the Garrison Code: if we see a problem, we show you a photo of it, explain what it means in plain English, and give you a written price to fix it before any work starts.

Buyer and Seller Inspections

Real estate transactions in Fresno often hinge on what the roof report says. We inspect for structural soundness, remaining service life, active leaks, and code compliance. You get a report your escrow officer and insurance agent can actually use.

Post-Storm and Warranty Inspections

After heavy wind or hail, shingles can fail in ways you will not notice from the ground. We check for lifted tabs, creased shingles, cracked tile, and displaced flashing. If a manufacturer warranty claim is in play, our photos and notes give you documentation that holds up.

Hail Damage Roof

Hail Damage Roof conditions in Fresno are less common than in the Midwest, but when a storm drops hail over Clovis or Sanger, the damage can be real: bruised shingles, cracked tile, dented vents, and compromised sealant. A Sanger Roof Inspection for hail costs the same as a standard roof inspection, $150 to $400, and identifies damage that often goes unseen until a leak appears months later. Insurance adjusters want documentation, and our photo-backed report gives you exactly that.

Do not wait for a water stain to confirm what hail already did. Shingle bruising breaks down the mat underneath the granule layer. Once that mat is compromised, the sun and rain finish the job. Brennan Roofing Co Fresno inspects every slope, every ridge, and every penetration after a hailstorm, so you know whether you are filing a claim or just documenting a clean bill of health.

What Hail Damage Looks Like

It is rarely obvious from the ground. We look for circular bruising in asphalt shingles, impact marks that feel soft when pressed, cracked or chipped tiles, and dents in soft metal components like roof vents and box flashing. Granule loss around impact sites is another tell. We document each one with a photo and a measurement.

Documentation for Insurance Claims

When hail hits, insurers want specifics: date of storm, size of hail, location of damage, and condition before loss. Our report includes all of that. We have walked plenty of Fresno homeowners through the claims process step by step, and we will tell you plainly whether filing is worth it or whether the damage is below your deductible.

Roof Estimate

A Roof Estimate from Brennan Roofing Co Fresno is a written, line-item price for repair or replacement, delivered before any work begins. In Fresno, repair estimates are free with an inspection. Replacement estimates are also free, and they stay valid for 30 days. The price on that sheet does not move at the door, and you will never get a “revised estimate” because we found something mid-job that we should have seen up front.

This is the part of roofing where homeowners get burned. A contractor quotes low, starts the work, then announces that the decking is rotten or the flashing needs full replacement and tacks thousands onto the bill. The Garrison Standard exists to kill that practice. We inspect first, write the price, and stand by the number. If the decking is suspect, we write two prices on paper: one if the decking is sound, one if it needs replacement. You know both numbers before a single shingle comes off.

What Is in the Written Estimate

Materials by brand and quantity, underlayment, flashing, drip edge, decking repairs if applicable, labor, haul-away, and permit fees when required. No allowances, no “to be determined” lines, no vague categories. You see what you are paying for and why.

How to Compare Estimates Fairly

Line up three estimates side by side and check what is actually in them. One roofer’s low bid might skip drip edge or use a thinner underlayment. Another might not include haul-away. We would rather give you the real number up front than win the bid with a number we cannot honor.

Free Roof Inspection

A Free Roof Inspection from Brennan Roofing Co Fresno applies when the inspection leads to a repair or replacement that we perform. If you end up hiring us, the inspection fee is credited back to the job. If you simply want a professional assessment with no obligation, the standard inspection fee of $150 to $400 applies. That is the honest version, and we would rather state it plainly than bury it in fine print.

Some companies advertise “free roof inspections” and then send a salesperson with a ladder whose only job is to find a reason to sell you a roof. That is not how we operate. Our technician is there to document the actual condition of your roof, good or bad. If the roof has five years of life left, we will tell you that. If a small repair extends it another few years, we will price that too. You will never be pushed into a replacement you do not need.

When the Free Inspection Makes Sense

You have visible damage, a known leak, or a roof older than 15 years and you are planning to stay in the home. In those cases, the inspection and estimate are free because we expect the work will follow. It is a straightforward arrangement with no hidden requirement.

What Is Included Either Way

Complete roof walk, attic inspection, vent and flashing check, leak assessment, photo documentation, and a written report. Whether you pay $150 or nothing, you get the same eyes, the same report, and the same written price before any work starts.

Roof Inspection Companies

Roof Inspection Companies in Fresno range from independent one-truck operators to large regional firms, and the quality of the inspection is only as good as the person on the ladder. Brennan Roofing Co Fresno competes on accountability, not on being the cheapest bid. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed, every inspection is documented with photos, and every finding is explained in plain English with a written price attached before any work starts.

When you compare roof inspection companies in the Fresno area, ask three questions before you book. Who is actually coming to the house? What does the written report include? And is the company insured? We answer all three the same way every time: our own employee, a photo-backed report, and yes, fully insured. That consistency is the Garrison Code, and it is what our name stands for.

Local vs. Out-of-Town Inspectors

A local Fresno inspector knows what the Central Valley sun does to asphalt shingles, how the winter storm track affects north-facing slopes in Madera, and what happens to flat commercial roofs in July. Out-of-town companies do not carry that context. We live here, and the roofs we inspect are in neighborhoods we drive through every day.

Questions to Ask Any Inspector

Will you walk the entire roof or inspect from the eaves? Will I get photos? Do you write the price on paper before any work starts? Do you guarantee the inspection itself? We answer yes to all four, and the last one is covered under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Commercial Roof Inspection

A Commercial Roof Inspection in Fresno covers flat and low-slope systems: TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, metal, and built-up roofing. Pricing runs from $300 to $800 depending on square footage, roof access, and the number of penetrations and curbs. We inspect warehouses in the industrial corridor off Highway 99, retail centers along Blackstone and Shaw, and office buildings throughout Fresno and Clovis.

Commercial roofs fail differently than residential. Ponding water, failed seams, punctures from foot traffic, and clogged scuppers are the usual suspects. Our inspections include a moisture scan where conditions warrant, plus a written report with photos and a prioritized list of what needs attention now versus what can wait. We will give you a schedule and a price range for each item.

Flat and Low-Slope Systems

We walk the field, check seams and flashings, inspect drains and scuppers for blockage, and document any blistering, ponding, or membrane fatigue. If a section is failing, we mark it on the drawing so you know exactly where it is and what it will cost to fix.

Preventive Maintenance Plans

For owners of multi-tenant buildings and commercial properties, an annual or semi-annual inspection is the cheapest insurance policy you will ever buy. A $400 inspection that catches a small seam failure before it becomes a $12,000 interior water damage claim is a good trade. We offer scheduled inspection programs with fixed annual pricing.

Brands We Service

We service GAF systems more than any other brand in the Fresno market. GAF shingles and underlayments are built for high-heat regions, and we know their Timberline lines intimately. When a GAF roof fails, it is usually a flashing detail or a ventilation problem, not the shingle itself, and we know how to tell the difference.

CertainTeed is the second most common brand we see in Fresno subdivisions. Their fiberglass mat construction stands up well to the valley sun, and we stock the sealants and accessories that match their specifications. We also work regularly with Tamko systems, particularly on re-roof projects where homeowners want a budget-conscious option that still carries a real manufacturer warranty. Whether your roof carries GAF, CertainTeed, Tamko, or any other make, we can inspect it, document it, and price the repair with the right materials for the brand on your roof.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• Water stains on the ceiling or upper walls. A stain means water has already breached the roof and traveled down through the decking and insulation. It may be a one-time flashing failure or a structural problem, but by the time it shows up inside, the damage is already underway. Call us at (559) 785-2160 and we will trace it to the source.
• Granules in the gutters or at the downspout bases. Shingles shed granules as they age, but a heavy accumulation after a storm or a sudden increase from one season to the next means the protective surface is failing. Once granules go, the asphalt mat underneath bakes in the Fresno sun and fails quickly.
• Missing, cracked, or curling shingles. A missing shingle is an open door. A curled shingle is about to become one. Either way, the underlayment below is now exposed to UV and water. A repairs costs far less now than a decking replacement will cost later.
• Daylight visible in the attic. If you can see sunlight through the roof deck from inside the attic, water can see a way in too. Holes from old vents, cracked decking, and failed flashing all show up as pinpoints of light. Get it inspected before winter.
• Sagging rooflines or soft decking when walked. A roof that sags or feels spongy underfoot has structural concerns. Decking may be rotting from years of slow leaks or inadequate ventilation. This is a safety issue for anyone on the roof, and it needs a professional assessment before it worsens.

Our Process, Step by Step

1. 1
   You call and a live person answers. Dial (559) 785-2160 any hour of the day or night. You will talk to a person, not a voicemail tree. We ask a few questions about the roof, the age of the home, and what prompted the call, then schedule a time that works for you. The technician arrives inside the promised window.
2. 2
   The inspection walk. The technician walks every slope, checks the flashings at chimneys, skylights, vents, and walls, examines the drip edge and fascia, and verifies that valleys are clear and sealed. Then they go into the attic, if accessible, to check the decking from underneath and look for moisture trails or ventilation problems.
3. 3
   Photo documentation. Every finding gets a photo. Every photo goes into the written report. You see the same thing the technician saw, not a secondhand description over the phone. This documentation is yours to keep whether you hire us for the repair or not.
4. 4
   Written price, before any work starts. If a repair is needed, you get a line-item price on paper. Materials, labor, haul-away, everything. The price does not move at the door. If the roof is in good shape, you get a report that says so, and we will tell you when to schedule the next inspection.
5. 5
   The 365-Day Done Right Promise. Every repair we make after an inspection is guaranteed in writing for one full year. If it fails within that period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That is the Garrison Standard, and it is the same on every job.
