FAQs
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Coalmont?
Because Coalmont experiences a mix of heavy summer rain, occasional hail, and high winds, we recommend a professional inspection at least once a year—ideally in the spring before storm season or in the fall after the hottest months. You should also schedule an additional inspection any time your roof is exposed to severe weather, such as hailstorms, high-wind events, or heavy snowfall. Regular inspections help identify minor issues early, prolong roof life, and maintain warranty or insurance coverage.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection include?
Our certified inspectors follow a 40-point checklist that covers both exterior and interior components. Exterior checks include shingles or metal panels, flashing around chimneys and vents, gutters, downspouts, fasteners, and attic ventilation points. We also examine roof decking for soft spots, evaluate ridge caps, and look for ponding water or moss growth. Inside the attic, we inspect insulation, look for water stains, measure moisture levels, and verify proper ventilation. You receive a detailed digital report with photos, condition ratings, and prioritized repair recommendations within 24 hours of the visit.
Why is it important to get my roof inspected after a storm in Coalmont?
Storms that bring hail, high winds, or driving rain can cause damage that isn’t immediately visible from the ground. Even small hail impacts can bruise asphalt shingles, compromise granule coverage, or dent metal roofing—all of which shorten a roof’s lifespan and may void manufacturer warranties. A timely inspection documents storm-related damage, prevents leaks from developing, and provides the evidence you need if you decide to file an insurance claim. Waiting too long can allow water intrusion, mold growth, and additional structural damage that insurers may exclude as ‘lack of maintenance.’
Will a roof inspection affect my insurance claim?
Yes—in a good way. Insurance companies typically require proof that damage was caused by a covered peril and not by wear and tear. Our inspection report includes high-resolution photos, measurement data, and written findings that clearly differentiate storm damage from age-related issues. This documentation streamlines the claims process, supports your claim amount, and can reduce back-and-forth with adjusters. If no storm damage is found, the report also serves as a maintenance record demonstrating that you’re taking proper care of the roof, which can help keep premiums in check.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
Most single-family residential inspections in Coalmont take between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on roof size, pitch, and accessibility. During that time our team collects photos, notes, and drone footage if necessary. We do not need access to your living areas—only the attic—so disruption is minimal. You’re welcome to be present, but it isn’t required. As soon as the inspection is complete, we secure all entry points, clean up any debris, and email your report the same or next business day.
What happens if your inspection uncovers damage or needed repairs?
If we find issues, we categorize them as urgent, moderate, or preventive. Urgent repairs—such as active leaks, missing shingles, or flashing failures—should be addressed immediately to prevent interior water damage. Moderate issues (e.g., minor hail bruising) can be scheduled within the next few weeks, while preventive items (like sealant touch-ups) can be combined with routine maintenance. We’ll provide written repair estimates and explain options that fit your budget, from spot repairs to full replacement. There’s no obligation to hire us for the work, but if you do, we credit the cost of the inspection toward the repair invoice.
