FAQs
What does a certified roof inspection in Altamont include?
Our certified inspectors follow a 50-point checklist that examines every critical roofing component. We assess shingle or tile condition, flashing integrity, underlayment health, attic ventilation, insulation levels, gutter performance, chimney and skylight seals, fastener corrosion, and roof-deck moisture levels. We also look for storm, hail, and wind damage that may not be visible from the ground. After the physical inspection, you receive a digital report with photos, a condition grade, and recommended maintenance or repairs.
How often should I have my roof inspected in Altamont’s climate?
Altamont experiences hot summers, winter freeze-thaw cycles, and occasional hail or high-wind events. We recommend a professional inspection at least once every 12 months, plus an extra check after major storms or heavy snowfall. Asphalt shingle roofs older than 15 years, or any roof with previous storm damage, benefit from twice-a-year inspections—spring and fall—to catch small issues before they escalate.
Why choose a certified inspector instead of a general contractor?
Certified roof inspectors undergo specialized training, pass standardized exams, and adhere to nationally recognized inspection protocols. A general contractor may be skilled at building, but may not know how to measure shingle granule loss, identify subtle ventilation problems, or use infrared scanners to detect hidden moisture. Using a certified inspector protects you with an unbiased, fully documented assessment that satisfies insurance, warranty, and real-estate requirements.
Will a roof inspection help with insurance claims or real-estate transactions?
Absolutely. Insurance companies often require third-party documentation to process storm-damage claims; our detailed report, complete with date-stamped photos and repair cost estimates, speeds up approval. If you’re buying or selling a home in Altamont, a certified roof inspection can reveal issues early, preventing last-minute surprises and giving both buyer and seller leverage for fair pricing or repair negotiations.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and will it disrupt my day?
Most single-family homes in Altamont take 60–90 minutes to inspect thoroughly. Larger or more complex roofs may require up to two hours. You do not need to be on the roof or even at home—just provide access to the attic (if applicable). We use non-invasive tools, so there’s no mess or noise, and your daily routine remains unaffected.
What happens if the inspection uncovers damage—do I have to make repairs immediately?
The inspection report prioritizes findings by severity: immediate safety threats, weather-vulnerable issues, and routine maintenance. You are under no obligation to hire us—or anyone—to perform repairs right away. However, delaying critical fixes can void manufacturer warranties or lead to interior water damage. If you choose, we can provide a no-pressure repair estimate, help you file insurance claims, or recommend trusted local roofers, all while keeping the inspection unbiased and transparent.
