FAQs
Why is a certified roof inspection important in Chattanooga’s climate?
Chattanooga experiences hot, humid summers, sudden downpours, and occasional winter freezes—conditions that can quickly deteriorate roofing materials. A certified inspection identifies early signs of UV damage, moisture intrusion, wind uplift, and thermal cracking, allowing you to address minor issues before they escalate into costly leaks or structural problems.
What does your certified roof inspection include?
Our inspectors follow National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) and Tennessee state guidelines. We visually examine shingles or metal panels, flashing, vents, gutters, and attic spaces; use moisture meters and infrared cameras to detect hidden leaks; check for proper ventilation and insulation; evaluate structural integrity; and document every finding with high-resolution photos.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection?
For most Chattanooga homeowners, we recommend a professional inspection twice a year—once in spring after winter freezes and once in fall before severe storms arrive. Commercial or flat roofs, as well as older roofs (15+ years), may benefit from quarterly checks to maintain warranties and insurance compliance.
Are your inspectors licensed and insured in Tennessee?
Yes. Every inspector holds a Tennessee Home Inspector License, is certified by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI), and carries both general liability and errors-and-omissions insurance. This protects you from liability and ensures the inspection meets rigorous professional standards.
Will I receive a written report and photos?
Absolutely. Within 24 hours you’ll receive a digital report that includes a condition summary, annotated photos, thermal images when applicable, repair recommendations, estimated life expectancy, and a maintenance checklist. We can forward the report to your insurance carrier or contractor upon request.
What happens if your inspection uncovers damage?
We provide an unbiased assessment and prioritize issues by urgency. Although we do not perform repairs during the inspection, we can supply a detailed scope of work, help you obtain competitive bids from vetted Chattanooga roofing contractors, and re-inspect after repairs to confirm quality before you make final payment.
