FAQs
What is included in your Digital Roof Inspection Report?
Our report is a comprehensive, interactive document that combines high-resolution aerial photos, close-up imagery, thermal scans (when requested), and annotated diagrams of every roofing component. You’ll see the current condition of shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, chimney caps, skylights, and roof decking. Each finding is color-coded for severity, accompanied by a description, probable cause, and recommended corrective action. We also provide estimated repair or replacement costs, remaining service life projections, and maintenance tips specific to Bluff City’s weather patterns.
How does your drone and AI technology work during an inspection?
We deploy a licensed drone pilot who flies an FAA-compliant drone equipped with 4K cameras and, if necessary, a radiometric thermal sensor. The drone captures hundreds of overlapping images that are uploaded to our cloud platform. AI software stitches these images into a detailed 3-D model and automatically flags anomalies such as lifted shingles, granule loss, moisture intrusion, and hail strikes. A certified roof inspector then verifies the AI findings on-site and adds human insights before the final report is generated. This hybrid approach increases accuracy, reduces inspection time, and eliminates the need for manual foot traffic on your roof.
Why are routine roof inspections important in Bluff City’s climate?
Bluff City experiences hot, humid summers, heavy spring rains, and occasional severe storms that bring high winds and hail. These conditions accelerate shingle aging, loosen flashing, and can create hidden leaks. Routine inspections—ideally every 12–18 months—allow us to catch small issues before they escalate into costly repairs or interior water damage. Insurance carriers also look favorably on documented inspections, which can speed up storm-damage claims and sometimes lower premiums.
Will the inspection damage my roof or disrupt my day?
No. Because 90 % of our assessment is done via drone and telephoto lenses, we rarely need to step on the roof. When physical access is required (e.g., to probe soft decking), our inspectors wear soft-soled, non-marking shoes and follow OSHA safety protocols. The entire data-capture process typically takes 30–45 minutes for an average Bluff City home, and you don’t need to be present the whole time—just available to grant exterior access and review preliminary findings if you wish.
How soon will I receive the digital report and how do I access it?
You’ll receive an email link within 24 hours of the inspection. The link opens a secure web portal where you can view the interactive report, download a PDF, or share it directly with insurance adjusters, contractors, or real-estate agents. Reports remain archived in your portal for at least five years, so you can reference them during future home sales or warranty claims.
What should I do if the report identifies problems or storm damage?
Each flagged item in the report is paired with actionable next steps. Minor maintenance (e.g., sealing a pipe boot) can usually be scheduled immediately with our service team. For larger repairs or replacements, we provide a detailed estimate and a timeline tailored to Bluff City’s permitting and weather considerations. If storm damage is documented, we can generate an insurance-ready summary and even meet with your adjuster on-site to advocate for full coverage. You’re never obligated to use our repair services, but many clients appreciate the seamless transition from inspection to solution.
