Allen Premium Roofing provides professional roof inspections in Allen, TX for residential and commercial properties across the US 75 corridor. An inspection here has one job ahead of all the others: establish how old the roof actually is. The age of the house tells you almost nothing in Allen, because the great majority of these roofs have already been replaced once.
We date a roof four ways. The shingle line and its granule blend narrow the era. The municipal permit record for the address usually names both the year and the company. Ridge and hip cap style shows whether it was a claim scope or a paid upgrade. And the attic gives a tear-off count, read from nail holes in the sheathing. Two sets of holes means two roofs have come off, and a third is a decking conversation.
Then we read the workmanship, because on a wave roof that is the variable that decides everything. Nail placement above or below the line, over-driven heads, whether the sheathing was re-nailed, whether drip edge was set beneath the felt at the rake and above it at the eave, and whether the ridge slot was cut through the deck or merely implied by the vent sitting on it. We photograph each so the report can be argued with.
The report is written, and it carries a separate remaining-life estimate for the shingle field and for boots, flashings, ridge and edge metal, because on a roof with this history those parts run on different clocks. Photographs are labeled by slope and elevation so that anyone can find the same spot again later. Dating the roof first is the difference between an accurate estimate and an expensive guess.
We also tell you where you stand on paper. Most wave reroofs were never registered with the manufacturer and the installing company frequently no longer trades, so there is no workmanship warranty standing behind your roof and the material warranty has dropped to its prorated default. That is worth knowing before you spend anything.
We charge for a full inspection and do not run free ones, because an inspection that costs nothing has to find work to pay for itself. If the truthful answer is another six good years, that is what the report says, along with the date we would look again and the three things worth watching in the meantime. People are usually more surprised by that than by bad news.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — architectural laminate shingles fastened six per shingle inside the nailing zone, UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated laminates, synthetic underlayment fastened with plastic cap nails, starter course carrying a factory-applied adhesive strip at eave and rake, gutter apron and drip edge in 26-gauge painted steel, reglet-cut counterflashing folded into the mortar joint — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Allen and nearby communities including Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Richardson.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof inspections
The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with architectural laminate shingles fastened six per shingle inside the nailing zone, UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated laminates, synthetic underlayment fastened with plastic cap nails, starter course carrying a factory-applied adhesive strip at eave and rake, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Allen job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the US 75 corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Allen Chooses Allen Premium Roofing
- ✓We date the roof before we quote it, using the shingle line, the permit record for the address and the tear-off count read from the attic, because most Allen roofs are second roofs and the age of the house tells you nothing useful.
- ✓Every estimate is itemized by detail. Boots, valley metal, edge metal, counterflashing, ridge slot and decking are separate lines, so a repair can be compared honestly against a replacement instead of guessed at.
- ✓When the shingle field is sound and only the reused components have failed, we put the recommendation to wait in writing, with a date to look again and the three things worth watching until then.
- ✓Sealant is used only where a manufacturer's instructions call for it. Chimneys get counterflashing cut into the mortar joint, plumbing vents get new boots, and nothing gets a bead of mastic in place of metal.
