FAQs
Why is a certified roof inspection important in Briceville?
Briceville’s mix of hot, humid summers, occasional hail, and heavy winter rains can accelerate roof wear. A certified inspection identifies storm damage, improper installation, or age-related deterioration before small defects lead to costly leaks, mold growth, or structural problems. Because the inspection is performed by a credentialed professional, your report carries more weight with insurance carriers and meets real-estate disclosure requirements should you decide to sell.
What does your certified roof inspection include?
Our inspectors follow NRCA and IIBEC guidelines. We begin with an exterior assessment of shingles, flashing, vents, chimneys, gutters, and skylights using drones or binoculars for hard-to-reach slopes. We then move to the attic to check insulation depth, ventilation, moisture levels, and structural integrity. Photos are taken of every defect, and you receive a digital report outlining current condition, life-expectancy estimates, recommended repairs, and an itemized cost range. If storm damage is present, we also provide the documentation your insurer will require.
How often should Briceville homeowners schedule a roof inspection?
For asphalt-shingle roofs, we recommend an inspection at least every two years, and annually once the roof is over 10 years old. Metal or tile roofs can be checked every three to five years. However, you should always schedule an immediate inspection after severe weather events like hail, straight-line winds, or a tornado watch, which Briceville experiences periodically. Early detection maximizes insurance coverage windows and minimizes repair costs.
Are your inspectors fully certified and insured?
Yes. Every inspector holds HAAG Residential Roof Inspector certification as well as OSHA 10 safety training. We are licensed in the State of Tennessee and carry $1 million in general liability and workers’ compensation coverage. Copies of certificates and proof of insurance are supplied upon request, giving you peace of mind that the evaluation meets professional and legal standards.
How long does a roof inspection take and will it disrupt my day?
Most single-family homes in Briceville require 60–90 minutes for a complete inspection. Larger or steep-slope roofs can take up to two hours. You do not need to be on the roof with us, but we do ask for attic access and permission to walk the exterior perimeter. Noise and disruption are minimal; there is no drilling or removal of materials. We schedule appointments in two-hour windows and provide a courtesy call 30 minutes before arrival.
What happens after the inspection is completed?
Within 24 hours you will receive a PDF report with annotated photos, a condition rating, maintenance checklist, and prioritized repair recommendations. If repairs are needed, we can supply a written estimate or, if you prefer, you may share the report with any contractor of your choice. For storm-related claims, we assist with filing paperwork and can meet your insurance adjuster onsite at no extra charge. We remain available for follow-up questions at any time.
