FAQs
Do I really qualify for a same-day roof inspection in Athens?
Yes. If your property is located within Athens or its immediate suburbs and you call before 12:00 p.m., we can usually dispatch a certified inspector the same afternoon. We keep inspection teams on standby for storm damage, active leaks, or real-estate closing deadlines, so most homeowners and businesses in ZIP codes 30601–30609 qualify automatically.
How soon can repairs start after the inspection is finished?
For minor issues—such as replacing a few shingles, resealing flashing, or patching small membrane punctures—we can often begin repairs immediately after you approve the estimate, usually within hours of the inspection. Larger projects that require special-order materials or a permit (e.g., structural decking replacement) typically start within 24–48 hours once materials arrive and city approval is secured.
What happens during a same-day roof inspection?
Your inspector performs a 17-point visual and photographic survey: exterior walk-around, attic moisture scan with an infrared camera, shingle or tile condition check, flashing and penetration assessment, gutter and downspout review, and a structural decking test (where accessible). You receive an on-site verbal briefing, followed by a written report with annotated photos and a repair proposal e-mailed before the end of the day.
Are emergency roof repairs covered by my homeowner’s insurance?
Most Athens carriers treat sudden, accidental damage—such as wind, hail, or impact from falling limbs—as an insurable loss. We provide the detailed inspection report, photos, and Xactimate-formatted estimate your adjuster needs. While every policy differs, 80 % of our local clients see at least partial reimbursement for emergency repairs when the claim is filed promptly and temporary mitigation (tarps, board-ups) is documented.
Can you service every type of roof common in Athens?
Absolutely. Our crews are manufacturer-trained on asphalt shingles, standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal panels, clay and concrete tile, EPDM and TPO flat roofs, and cedar shake. We stock matching shingle colors from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, as well as 24-gauge metal coil in popular Athens colors for same-day fabrication of panels and flashing.
How much will a typical roof repair cost and do I get a written estimate?
Costs vary with the scope: a basic shingle tab replacement may run $250–$400, while repairing a 10-foot valley leak averages $650–$950. Major storm damage with decking and underlayment replacement can range from $1,500 up to several thousand. Every inspection includes a line-item, fixed-price estimate valid for 30 days, so you know exact costs before work begins—no hidden fees or trip charges.
