FAQs
Why should I hire a certified roof inspector for my home or business in Blaine?
A certified inspector has specialized training, up-to-date knowledge of Minnesota building codes, and carries the proper licensing and insurance. This means you receive an unbiased, thoroughly documented evaluation that meets real-estate, insurance, and warranty requirements. Certified inspections also help identify weather-related damage common in Blaine—such as wind-driven rain, ice dams, and heavy snow loads—before small problems turn into expensive repairs.
What is included in your professional roof inspection service?
Our Blaine roof inspections cover 50+ check points: exterior shingle or membrane condition, flashing integrity, chimney caps, vents, skylights, gutters, downspouts, attic ventilation, insulation levels, moisture intrusion, and structural components such as decking and trusses. We use drones for hard-to-reach areas, moisture meters for hidden leaks, and digital photography to document every finding. After the visit you receive a detailed written report, annotated photos, and repair or maintenance recommendations prioritized by urgency.
How often should a roof in Blaine be inspected?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once every two years for asphalt shingles and annually for flat or low-slope commercial roofs. However, Blaine’s freeze-thaw cycles, hail events, and high winds can accelerate wear, so you should also schedule an inspection after any major storm or if you notice warning signs such as missing shingles, interior stains, or unusual attic humidity.
How long does the inspection take and will it disturb my daily routine?
Most residential inspections take 60–90 minutes; larger or complex roofs can run two to three hours. We coordinate a convenient time, use ladder stabilizers and fall-protection gear to minimize risk, and keep noise to a minimum. Interior attic access typically requires only 10–15 minutes. You can stay in the home or continue business operations while we work.
Do I get a report I can use for insurance or real-estate transactions?
Yes. Within 24 hours you’ll receive a PDF report that includes a summary of roof condition, high-resolution images, thermal or moisture readings (when applicable), and a clear pass/fail assessment for critical components. The report is formatted to satisfy most insurers, lenders, and real-estate agents in Minnesota, helping you streamline claims or closing processes.
If problems are found, can you handle the repairs and help with insurance claims?
Absolutely. Our team includes licensed roofing contractors who can provide a no-obligation repair estimate on the spot. We also offer claim assistance: we meet adjusters on-site, supply all inspection evidence, and advocate for the proper scope of work. This integrated approach saves you time and ensures repairs are completed to code and manufacturer specifications.
