FAQs
Why should I hire Seasoned Inspectors Roofing for a professional roof inspection instead of doing it myself?
Climbing onto a roof without the right training and safety equipment is risky, and most issues that lead to leaks or premature failure—such as lifted flashing, under-surface moisture, or shingle granule loss—are invisible to the untrained eye. Our Corryton-based inspectors are HAAG-certified, have 10-plus years of field experience, and use moisture scanners, drones, and infrared cameras to uncover hidden defects. A professional assessment protects your safety, preserves your roof’s warranty, and documents the roof’s condition for insurance and resale purposes.
How often should Corryton homeowners have their roofs inspected?
The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends at least one professional inspection every year, but Corryton’s weather patterns call for two: once in the spring after winter freeze/thaw cycles and once in the fall after summer heat and storm season. An additional inspection is smart after any severe hail or wind event (¾" hail or 50+ mph gusts), both of which are common in East Tennessee. Regular check-ups spot small issues early, saving thousands in repairs and extending roof life by 5–10 years.
What specific issues do your inspectors look for during a roof inspection?
Our seasoned team follows a 50-point checklist that covers: (1) exterior elements—missing, cracked, or curling shingles, hail bruising, lifted or corroded flashing, damaged ridge vents, chimney caps, and gutters; (2) structural red flags—sagging rafters, fascia rot, and decking soft spots found with infrared and core sampling; (3) interior clues—attic moisture levels, insulation depth, and mold or mildew that signal ventilation problems; and (4) workmanship defects—nail pops, improper shingle staggering, and underlayment exposure that could void manufacturer warranties.
What can I expect on the day of my inspection—do I have to be home?
A standard residential inspection takes 60–90 minutes. You don’t have to be home if we can access the roof and attic, but many clients like to walk through our findings in person. We’ll: 1) set up safety harnesses and a drone perimeter, 2) document every slope with HD photos and infrared scans, 3) inspect the attic, and 4) clean up any debris. Your property and landscaping are fully protected, and our inspectors carry $2 million in liability coverage.
Will the inspection report help me with insurance claims or warranty paperwork?
Yes. Within 24 hours you receive a digital report that includes date-stamped photos, annotated diagrams, moisture/thermal readings, and a concise summary of damage and probable causes. The report meets FEMA and major insurance carrier guidelines, so you can file hail or wind claims quickly. We can also forward the documentation to shingle manufacturers or home buyers to validate workmanship and material warranties.
What are the next steps if your inspectors find damage or wear?
Your report will rank issues by urgency—Emergency, Monitor, or Maintenance. For emergency items (active leaks, compromised decking, or code violations) we can provide a same-day temporary patch to prevent further damage. Then, at your request, our estimator prepares a transparent, line-item proposal for repair or replacement using materials that match your existing roof. There is no obligation to hire us, and we’re happy to coordinate with your insurance adjuster or another contractor if you prefer. Our goal is to give you the information and options you need to make an informed decision.
