FAQs
Why is an on-site inspection necessary before installing or repairing a metal roof in Caryville?
Every home in Caryville has unique structural, climatic, and code-compliance considerations. An on-site inspection lets our certified roofing specialists evaluate your decking, truss spacing, ventilation, and flashing details while also checking for hail or wind damage that is common in Campbell County. The findings ensure the metal panel profile, fastener system, underlayment, and installation method we propose will meet local building codes, manufacturer warranties, and your long-term performance expectations.
What specific items do your inspectors look for during a metal roofing inspection?
Our comprehensive checklist includes: 1) Roof geometry and slope measurement; 2) Condition of existing decking, underlayment, and vapor barriers; 3) Integrity of seams, fasteners, and panel coatings on existing metal roofs; 4) Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and valleys; 5) Attic ventilation and insulation levels; 6) Signs of moisture intrusion, rust, or impact damage; 7) Gutter and downspout alignment; and 8) Compliance with Caryville’s wind-uplift and energy-efficiency codes. We document each item with photographs and moisture-meter readings so you get a clear, evidence-based report.
How long does the inspection take, and do I need to be at home?
Most residential inspections in Caryville take 45–90 minutes, depending on roof size and accessibility. We welcome homeowners to be present so we can point out findings in real time, but it is not mandatory. If you cannot be there, our team will perform the assessment, take pictures, and email you a digital report the same day, followed by a phone consultation to answer questions.
Will I receive a written report with repair or replacement cost estimates?
Yes. Within 24 hours you will receive a detailed, easy-to-read PDF that summarizes our observations, includes annotated photos, and lists recommended actions—whether minor repairs, panel replacement, or a full reroof. Each recommendation is paired with a transparent, line-item cost estimate and an estimated project timeline so you can make an informed decision.
Can you assess storm damage on an existing metal roof for insurance purposes?
Absolutely. Our inspectors are HAAG-certified for residential metal roofing and trained to recognize hail dents, wind-lifted seams, and punctures that are typical after East Tennessee thunderstorms. We provide the documentation, measurements, and photographs insurers require, and we can meet your adjuster on-site to help substantiate the claim and speed up the approval process.
