FAQs
Why should I hire a certified inspector for a roof inspection in Birchwood?
Working with a certified inspector ensures your roof is evaluated by a professional who has met industry training standards and carries the proper state licensing and insurance. Birchwood’s climate exposes roofs to hail, high winds, and heavy snowfall, so a certified inspector can recognize local weather-related damage patterns, identify installation defects, and provide documentation that is accepted by insurers, lenders, and real-estate professionals.
What is included in your Birchwood roof inspection?
Our inspection covers every visible component: shingles or other roof coverings, flashing, drip edge, vents, chimneys, skylights, gutters, downspouts, attic ventilation, underlying decking (where accessible), and interior ceilings for signs of leaks. We use drones or camera poles for hard-to-reach areas, perform moisture-meter readings, and provide a same-day digital report with annotated photos, condition ratings, and repair or maintenance recommendations.
How much does a certified roof inspection cost, and do you offer free inspections with repairs?
A stand-alone certified roof inspection in Birchwood typically ranges from $175 to $275 for single-family homes up to 3,000 sq ft. Larger or steep-slope roofs may cost slightly more because of added safety measures and time on site. If you choose our team to complete any repair work we recommend (valued at $750 or more), we credit the full inspection fee back on the final invoice —making the inspection effectively free.
How long will the inspection take, and do I need to be home?
Most inspections take 60–90 minutes. Complex roofs with multiple levels can extend the visit to about two hours. You don’t have to be present as long as we have safe access to the roof, attic, and electrical panel (for powered attic fans). If you are home, our technician will walk you through preliminary findings on site; otherwise, we’ll schedule a virtual or phone review after you receive the report.
Will your inspection report satisfy insurance, warranty, or real-estate requirements?
Yes. Our certified inspection reports include high-resolution photos, detailed condition notes, estimated remaining service life, and repair cost ranges—meeting or exceeding the documentation standards of major homeowners-insurance carriers, FHA/VA lending guidelines, and most shingle-manufacturer warranty programs. If your insurer or realtor needs a specific form, let us know in advance and we’ll incorporate it at no extra charge.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Birchwood?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once every 12–18 months, plus an additional check after any severe weather event such as hail or wind exceeding 45 mph. Annual inspections catch minor issues—like lifted flashing or sealant failure—before they evolve into leaks that can void warranties or cause costly interior damage. For new roofs, inspections keep warranty requirements intact; for older roofs (15+ years), bi-annual checks may be prudent.
