FAQs
Why should I have my roof inspected by a certified inspector in Bean Station?
A certified inspector has completed industry-recognized training and carries credentials that prove competence in detecting damage, code violations, and safety hazards. In Bean Station, roofs face frequent wind, rain, and occasional hail from Cherokee Lake storms. A certified professional knows local building codes and typical regional issues, ensuring that small problems—like lifted shingles or early granule loss—are caught before they lead to leaks, mold, or expensive structural repairs.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection for my Bean Station home or business?
We recommend a comprehensive inspection at least once a year, preferably in the spring after winter freezes or in the fall before heavy rains. Additional inspections are advised after severe weather events (hail, high winds, or tornado watches) common to Grainger and Hawkins counties. Regular check-ups help maintain manufacturer warranties, satisfy many insurance policies, and prolong roof life by addressing minor issues promptly.
What does your certified roof inspection include?
Our inspection covers a 30-point checklist: exterior evaluation of shingles, metal panels, tiles, flashing, vents, chimneys, and skylights; interior attic assessment for moisture, insulation quality, and structural integrity; gutter and downspout flow tests; thermal imaging to locate hidden leaks; and documentation of code compliance for Bean Station’s municipal regulations. You receive a written report with photos, repair recommendations, and an estimated life-expectancy analysis.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and will it disturb my daily routine?
Most residential inspections take 60–90 minutes, while larger commercial roofs may require 2–3 hours. Our team uses drones for steep or hard-to-reach areas, reducing ladder time and minimizing disturbance. We coordinate appointments around your schedule, and you can remain indoors the entire time. No utilities need to be shut off, and there is minimal noise except brief foot traffic on the roof.
Are your inspectors licensed and insured, and do you offer any guarantees?
Yes. Every inspector is certified through the National Roof Certification & Inspection Association (NRCIA) and carries Tennessee Home Improvement License credentials. We maintain $2 million in general liability coverage and full workers’ compensation, protecting you from liability. Our findings are backed by a 90-day workmanship guarantee—if a documented area fails due to an oversight, we will return and address the issue at no charge.
Will my homeowners insurance cover the cost of a roof inspection or any resulting repairs?
Most insurers in Tennessee do not pay for routine maintenance inspections but will often reimburse inspection fees when tied to a valid storm-damage claim. After our assessment, we provide a detailed, insurer-ready report (including photos, measurements, and repair estimates) that you can submit. If the inspection reveals storm-related damage, many policies cover repairs minus your deductible. We can meet with your adjuster on-site to help ensure you receive the benefits to which you are entitled.
