FAQs
How often should I have my roof inspected in Allardt, TN?
Because Allardt experiences heavy spring rains, high summer humidity, and the occasional winter ice event, we recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year. If your home is surrounded by tall trees or has recently endured a severe storm, schedule an additional inspection to catch small problems—like loose shingles or damaged flashing—before they evolve into costly leaks.
What does a licensed expert look for during a roof inspection?
A certified inspector checks both the exterior and interior of your roofing system. Outside, we document shingle condition, flashing integrity, chimney caps, gutters, attic vents, and any hail or wind damage. Inside the attic, we use moisture meters and thermal cameras to look for hidden leaks, mold, or inadequate insulation. We finish with a written report that includes photos, repair recommendations, and an estimate of remaining roof life.
Why should I hire a licensed roofing contractor instead of doing a DIY inspection?
Licensed roofers are trained to spot early-stage issues that most homeowners overlook—such as hairline cracks in pipe boots or under-driven nails that void shingle warranties. In Tennessee, licensed contractors also carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, protecting you from liability if an accident occurs on your property. Finally, many manufacturers and insurance carriers require inspections by licensed professionals to keep warranties and policies valid.
How much does a roof inspection cost in the Allardt area?
A standard residential roof inspection typically ranges from $125 to $250, depending on roof size, pitch, and accessibility. We often waive that fee if you proceed with recommended repairs. For commercial buildings or drone-assisted thermal scans, pricing may start around $300. We’re happy to provide a firm quote once we gather your roof’s square footage and slope information.
Can a professional inspection help with my storm-damage insurance claim?
Yes. After a hail or wind event, we document damage with high-resolution photos, slope diagrams, and a detailed written assessment that aligns with insurers’ Xactimate estimating standards. Because we are licensed, our reports carry more weight with adjusters, helping you get fair compensation for full-roof replacement or spot repairs. We can also meet your adjuster on-site to advocate for you at no extra charge.
Do I need to be home during the inspection, and how long will it take?
You don’t have to be present for the exterior portion, but we recommend you stay nearby if you’d like us to review findings on the spot. Standard single-family inspections take 45–60 minutes for the roof and another 15–20 minutes in the attic. We’ll email the final report within 24 hours. If you can’t be home, we’ll send digital photos, a video walk-through, and schedule a phone call to discuss next steps.
