FAQs
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Altamont?
In Altamont’s four-season climate, we recommend a full professional inspection at least once a year—preferably each spring after winter snow and ice have melted. You should also arrange an inspection after any severe weather event (hail, high winds, heavy snowfall) or if you notice warning signs such as leaks, missing shingles, or sagging areas.
What specific issues do you look for during a roof inspection?
Our certified inspectors perform a 50-point check that covers shingles or tiles, flashing, gutters, vents, chimney caps, skylight seals, underlayment condition, attic ventilation, moisture intrusion, structural decking, and fastener integrity. We document storm damage, material wear, moss or algae growth, and any code-related concerns, then supply a photo-backed report and prioritized repair plan.
How can Altamont’s weather affect my roof’s health?
Altamont experiences temperature swings, lake-effect snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and summer thunderstorms. These conditions can cause shingle granule loss, ice dam formation, wind uplift, and moisture penetration. Routine inspections catch early damage before it escalates into leaks, mold growth, or structural decay, saving homeowners significant repair costs.
Do roof inspections include attic and ventilation checks?
Yes. A healthy roof system relies on balanced attic ventilation and adequate insulation. During the inspection we enter the attic to measure airflow, look for blocked soffit vents, check for mold, and verify insulation depth. Identifying ventilation issues early helps prevent ice dams in winter and excess heat buildup in summer, both of which shorten roof life.
Will a roof inspection help me with insurance claims after a storm?
Absolutely. Our inspectors are trained to document storm-related damage according to insurance carrier standards. We provide a detailed report with date-stamped photos, measurements, and repair estimates. This documentation speeds up the claims process and gives you leverage if the adjuster’s assessment differs from our findings.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and what is the cost?
Most single-family homes in Altamont take 60–90 minutes to inspect, including attic access and drone imagery if needed. You receive a digital report within 24 hours. A standard inspection starts at $199, but we waive that fee when you authorize recommended repairs through our company. We also offer complimentary post-storm inspections for existing maintenance-plan customers.
