FAQs
Why is a professional roof inspection important after a storm in Bluff City?
Even minor storms in Bluff City can produce high winds, hail, or flying debris that create damage too subtle to see from the ground. A professional inspection identifies hidden shingle bruising, lifted flashing, punctures, and weakened decking before they lead to leaks, mold, or structural issues. Timely documentation also supports insurance claims and speeds up repairs.
How soon after a storm should I schedule a roof inspection?
Call as soon as it’s safe—ideally within 24–72 hours. Early inspections capture fresh evidence, prevent small openings from becoming major leaks, and meet most insurance carriers’ deadlines for filing a claim. Quick action reduces the chance of interior water damage during Bluff City’s next rainfall.
What does your storm-damage roof inspection include?
Our certified inspectors start with a ground-level evaluation, then safely access the roof to check shingles, flashing, gutters, vents, skylights, chimneys, and attic decking. We look for hail bruising, granule loss, lifted or missing shingles, bent metal, moisture in the attic, and compromised sealant. You receive a photo-documented report, repair recommendations, and, if needed, insurance-ready documentation.
Will an inspection damage my roof or void my warranty?
No. We use manufacturer-approved, non-invasive methods—soft-soled shoes, ladder stabilizers, and drones when appropriate—to prevent additional wear. Our process meets or exceeds roofing manufacturers’ guidelines, so your existing material and workmanship warranties remain intact.
How much does a storm-damage roof inspection cost in Bluff City?
Most standard post-storm inspections are free for Bluff City homeowners within our service radius. If you need a detailed real-estate or insurance certification report beyond storm assessment, we’ll provide an upfront, flat fee before any work begins—no surprises.
Can you help with the insurance claim if damage is found?
Yes. We’ll walk you through the entire claim process: documenting damage with photos and written notes, meeting with the adjuster on-site, and explaining scope-of-work terminology. Our goal is to ensure your policy covers all necessary repairs or replacement, so you pay only your deductible, not unplanned out-of-pocket costs.
