FAQs
Why should I schedule a certified roof inspection in Andersonville?
Andersonville’s weather can swing from hot, humid summers to heavy winter snow, putting continuous stress on roofing materials. A certified inspection identifies early signs of wear, storm damage, or installation defects before they become leaks, mold, or structural problems. Because our inspectors are manufacturer- and state-certified, their findings are recognized by insurers, Realtors, and warranty providers, giving you reliable documentation and peace of mind.
What does your certified roof inspection include?
Our inspection is a 50-point evaluation that covers shingles or other roof coverings, flashing, penetrations, gutters, attic ventilation, insulation, moisture levels, and structural components such as decking and trusses. We use drone imaging for hard-to-reach sections and infrared scanning to detect hidden moisture. Afterward, you receive a digital report with annotated photos, condition grades, life-expectancy estimates, and prioritized repair or maintenance recommendations.
How often should Andersonville homeowners have their roofs inspected?
We recommend a professional inspection twice a year—once in the spring after winter snow and ice, and once in the fall before freezing temperatures return. You should also schedule an inspection after any severe hail, wind, or tornado-related weather event, which are not uncommon in the Andersonville region. Regular inspections extend roof life, keep warranties valid, and lower the risk of costly emergency repairs.
Can a certified roof inspection help with my insurance claim after storm damage?
Yes. Our inspectors are licensed to perform insurance-grade assessments. We document wind or hail impact with date-stamped photographs, measurements, and meteorological data specific to Andersonville’s storm event. This evidence can expedite your claim, reduce disputes with adjusters, and often leads to quicker approval for repairs or full roof replacement when warranted.
How long does a typical roof inspection take, and will it disrupt my day?
Most single-family home inspections in Andersonville take 60–90 minutes. Larger or more complex roofs may take up to two hours. You do not need to be home for the exterior assessment as long as we have access, but we’ll need a short walk-through to check attic spaces. We take every precaution to avoid damage to landscaping and leave no debris behind.
What happens if the inspection uncovers issues? Do I have to repair them immediately?
Your report will classify findings as urgent, recommended, or maintenance. Urgent items—such as active leaks or compromised structural members—should be addressed right away to prevent interior damage and voided warranties. Recommended items can typically be scheduled within a few weeks, while maintenance tasks (like gutter cleaning) can be timed with your next service appointment. We provide written estimates upon request, but you’re free to seek additional bids or handle repairs on your own; the inspection itself carries no obligation.
