FAQs
What exactly is included in your itemized roof inspection report for Belvidere homes?
Our report is broken down line-by-line so you can see the exact condition of every visible roof component. We document shingles or other coverings, flashing, underlayment, chimney caps, skylight seals, gutters, downspouts, ventilation, decking, and attic insulation. Each item receives a condition rating (Good, Fair, Poor), repair/replace recommendations, and an estimated remaining service life. High-resolution photos, drone images (when appropriate), moisture-meter readings, and a summary of local Boone County code requirements are also attached.
How often should a Belvidere homeowner schedule a professional roof inspection?
Because our area experiences hail, heavy snow loads, and wide temperature swings, we recommend a full inspection at least once every two years. Additional inspections are wise after severe hail or wind events, before buying or selling a property, and any time you notice interior leaks, missing shingles, or gutter overflow. Regular check-ups let you fix minor issues for a fraction of the cost of a major repair or premature replacement.
Why is an itemized report better than a standard inspection summary?
A standard summary usually states only whether your roof passes or fails. An itemized report tells you precisely where problems are, how serious they are, and what they will cost to correct. This detailed documentation helps you prioritize repairs, budget accurately, and provide clear evidence to insurance carriers, real-estate buyers, or contractors bidding the work. It also protects you from surprise add-ons because everything is already listed with photos and written explanations.
Do your inspectors actually walk on the roof, and how do you ensure safety?
Yes, whenever conditions allow, our licensed inspectors walk every slope to feel for spongy decking, loose shingles, and improper nailing that drones or binoculars can’t detect. They are OSHA-certified, wear full-body harnesses, and use anchored lifelines. If a roof is too steep, fragile, or snow-covered, we supplement with a 4K drone and telescoping camera poles to ensure no area is missed while keeping everyone safe.
How long will the inspection and report delivery take?
Most single-family homes in Belvidere take 60–90 minutes to inspect. Larger or multi-layer roofs may run two hours. We email the completed itemized PDF report—along with all annotated images—within 24 hours. If you’re on a real-estate deadline, same-day turnarounds are available upon request.
Can I use your itemized inspection report for insurance claims or real-estate transactions?
Absolutely. Our reports meet the documentation standards of major insurance carriers, mortgage lenders, and local real-estate agents. We timestamp photographs, include weather data (such as hail history from NOAA), and reference Belvidere and Boone County building codes. Many clients have successfully used our findings to support storm-damage claims, negotiate repair credits, or satisfy lender requirements before closing.
