FAQs
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Oak Ridge?
Because Oak Ridge experiences hot, humid summers, occasional heavy storms, and winter freeze-thaw cycles, we recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year—ideally in the spring or fall. Annual inspections help spot early signs of weather-related damage, aging shingles, or ventilation issues before they become costly repairs.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection include?
Our certified inspectors start with a ground-level visual assessment, then safely access the roof to examine shingles, flashing, ridge caps, and fasteners. We check gutters, downspouts, attic ventilation, insulation levels, and look for moisture intrusion or mold. You receive a detailed written report, photographs of problem areas, and our recommendations for maintenance or repairs.
Why are roof inspections important after severe weather in Oak Ridge?
Hail, high winds, and heavy rain common in East Tennessee can loosen shingles, dent metal components, or create hidden leaks. A prompt post-storm inspection identifies storm damage while it’s still eligible for insurance coverage, prevents moisture from seeping into decking or attic spaces, and extends the life of your roofing system by addressing issues immediately.
Can a roof inspection help me with insurance claims?
Yes. We document all storm-related damage with dated photos, measurements, and a professional assessment that meets most insurers’ requirements. This documentation strengthens your claim, speeds approval, and ensures you receive fair compensation for necessary repairs or full roof replacement.
How much does a professional roof inspection cost?
For residential properties in the Oak Ridge area, our standard inspection starts at $149. This flat rate covers travel, on-site evaluation, a written report, and consultation. If you schedule recommended repairs with us, we credit the inspection fee toward the final project cost.
What happens if issues are found during the inspection?
Your report will prioritize each item as minor maintenance, moderate repair, or urgent action. We discuss repair options, estimated costs, and timelines on the spot. If you choose to proceed, we can schedule the work immediately, coordinate with your insurance company if applicable, and keep you informed at every step until your roof is fully restored.
