FAQs
Why is a certified roofing inspection important in Cookeville?
Cookeville’s mix of hot, humid summers, heavy rains, and the occasional winter ice event can accelerate roof wear. A certified inspection identifies storm damage, hidden leaks, and material failure before they turn into costly structural or interior repairs. Because our inspectors follow national standards and local code requirements, you receive an accurate, unbiased assessment that protects your home’s value and your family’s safety.
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection?
We recommend an inspection twice a year—once in the spring after winter weather and once in the fall before severe storms set in. You should also arrange an immediate inspection after hail, high-wind events, or when you notice signs such as missing shingles, ceiling stains, or unexplained energy spikes. Timely inspections can extend roof life and keep warranty coverage valid.
What qualifications do your certified roof inspectors hold?
Our inspectors are licensed Tennessee general contractors who carry manufacturer-specific certifications (GAF Certified™ and CertainTeed ShingleMaster™) and are trained to the standards of the National Roof Certification and Inspection Association (NRCIA). They maintain OSHA safety credentials and complete annual continuing-education courses on the latest roofing materials, installation methods, and building codes.
What does your roof inspection process include?
1. Pre-inspection consultation to discuss concerns and gather roof history. 2. Exterior evaluation—shingles, flashings, gutters, penetrations, chimneys, and ventilation. We document with 4K drone imagery and close-up photographs. 3. Interior assessment of the attic, insulation levels, roof deck, and signs of moisture intrusion. 4. Moisture meter and infrared scan to detect hidden leaks. 5. Detailed digital report delivered within 24 hours, including photos, condition grades, estimated remaining service life, and repair/replacement recommendations.
Will the inspection report help with insurance claims or real-estate transactions?
Yes. Our reports meet insurer and lender documentation standards. They include date-stamped photos, repair cost ranges based on Xactimate pricing, and a professional certification statement. Home buyers and sellers in Cookeville use our reports to negotiate pricing, while homeowners submit them to insurers to validate storm-related damage claims or to confirm a roof’s good condition for premium discounts.
What happens if the inspection reveals roof damage?
If we find issues, we prioritize them as urgent, short-term, or maintenance items. You will receive: • A clear repair scope with itemized costs. • Guidance on whether the damage may qualify for an insurance claim. • Optional coordination with your adjuster, including on-site representation. • A no-pressure estimate for repairs or replacement using manufacturer-certified crews. Addressing problems promptly prevents water intrusion, mold growth, and higher repair costs later.
