Plano is an older suburb than it gets credit for. East Plano is largely 1960s and ’70s; west Plano and the Legacy corridor came up through the ’80s and ’90s. Either way, most Plano homes are on their second or third roof, and that changes what we find once we’re up there.
An older roof carries its history. We routinely find prior roof repairs done to different standards, attic ventilation that was adequate when it went in but wouldn’t pass today, and sections that were patched after one hailstorm and never revisited. None of that is unusual and none of it is cause for alarm, but it does mean a Plano inspection is about what’s underneath, not just what you can see from the driveway.
The tree canopy is the other Plano factor. Mature trees mean limbs over the roof, debris packing into valleys, and shaded north-facing slopes that stay damp long after the rest of the roof has dried. Those slopes wear out first, which is why one side of a Plano roof can look fine while the other is failing.

Buying or selling in Plano? Get the roof looked at before you’re under contract. We’ll photograph what’s there and put it in writing, so the roof doesn’t become the thing that reopens a negotiation three days before closing.
