FAQs
What is a digital roof inspection and how does it differ from a traditional inspection?
A digital roof inspection uses high-resolution drone imagery, infrared scanning, and specialized software to create an accurate, shareable report of your roof’s condition. Unlike a traditional inspection, which relies on visual checks from the ground or on the roof, the digital method captures detailed photos, measurements, and thermal data without requiring anyone to walk on your shingles. This reduces safety risks, speeds up the process, and delivers a comprehensive PDF report you can review or send to insurers and contractors.
How much does a digital roof inspection cost in Collegedale?
For most single-family homes in Collegedale, our standard digital inspection and report package ranges from $199 to $299, depending on roof size and complexity. Larger or steep-slope roofs, multi-structure properties, or add-on services such as post-storm re-inspections may carry a modest surcharge. We provide an exact quote up front, and there is no obligation to purchase repairs through us afterward.
What information is included in the final digital report?
Your downloadable report contains: (1) aerial and close-range imagery of every roof plane, (2) measurements of ridges, valleys, hips, and total square footage, (3) condition grading for shingles, flashing, vents, chimney caps, and skylights, (4) thermal scans highlighting trapped moisture or hidden leaks, (5) a life-expectancy estimate and maintenance recommendations, and (6) a prioritized repair list with budget ranges. The report is formatted for easy sharing with insurance adjusters or other contractors.
How long does the inspection and report delivery take?
The on-site drone flight and data capture typically take 30–45 minutes for an average Collegedale home. Our technicians then process the imagery, run it through measurement software, and compile the findings. You will receive the finished PDF report by email within 24 hours—often the same business day.
Will a digital roof inspection satisfy my insurance or real-estate requirements?
Yes. Our reports meet or exceed the documentation standards requested by most insurers, mortgage lenders, and real-estate agents in Tennessee. The file includes high-resolution photos, date/time stamps, GPS coordinates, and professional findings signed by a licensed inspector, which are usually sufficient for claims, underwriting, or buyer due diligence. If your carrier needs supplemental forms, we will supply them at no extra charge.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Collegedale’s climate?
Given the hot summers, occasional hail, and heavy winter rains in Hamilton County, we recommend a professional inspection every 2–3 years for roofs under 10 years old and annually for older roofs or those with prior storm damage. Additionally, schedule an inspection immediately after severe weather events with hail, high winds above 50 mph, or falling debris. Regular digital checkups help catch minor issues early, extending roof life and reducing long-term repair costs.
