FAQs
Why are detailed roof and siding inspections important in Corryton’s climate?
Corryton experiences hot, humid summers, sudden spring storms, and occasional winter freezes. Those rapid temperature swings can cause shingles to curl, flashing to loosen, and vinyl or fiber-cement panels to warp or crack. A detailed inspection catches small issues—like popped nails, hail bruising, or moisture intrusion behind siding—before they become leaks, mold growth, or structural rot. Regular professional checkups protect your home’s value, energy efficiency, and curb appeal while preventing costly emergency repairs.
What does your comprehensive roof and siding inspection include?
Our certified technician starts with a ground-level evaluation of drainage, gutters, and siding alignment, then climbs the roof to examine shingles, fasteners, flashing, penetrations, and ridge vents. We use moisture meters and an infrared camera to detect hidden water intrusion in decking and wall cavities. All attic spaces are checked for proper ventilation, insulation depth, and signs of mold or rodent activity. Finally, we document every finding with high-resolution photos and provide a written report that prioritizes maintenance items, repair recommendations, and budget estimates.
How often should I schedule a roof and siding inspection?
For most Corryton homeowners we recommend a professional inspection once a year—ideally in the fall, after summer heat and before winter cold. However, you should also schedule an inspection immediately after any severe weather event involving hail, high winds, or heavy rainfall. Newer roofs (under 5 years old) might be checked every two years if no storms occur, while older roofs or homes surrounded by large trees benefit from semi-annual visits.
Will the inspection report include photographs and repair estimates?
Yes. Every customer receives a digital, easy-to-read report within 24–48 hours. Each issue is illustrated with annotated photographs taken on the roof, at siding joints, and in the attic so you can clearly see what we observed. For any problem we find, you’ll get a line-item repair estimate that details material choices, labor costs, and projected timelines. This transparent approach lets you plan your budget or compare quotes with confidence.
Can you work with my insurance company if storm damage is discovered?
Absolutely. Our team is familiar with Tennessee insurance requirements and will help you file a claim by supplying storm-date weather data, photo evidence, and a professional damage assessment. We can meet your adjuster on-site to point out issues that may not be obvious from the ground. Once the claim is approved, we coordinate repairs and handle all paperwork so the process is as stress-free as possible.
How long does the inspection take, and do I need to be home?
A standard roof and siding inspection on a single-family home takes about 60–90 minutes. Larger properties or steep roofs may require up to two hours. You do not have to be present, but we do need access to exterior electrical outlets (for our moisture scanner) and attic entry if you want an interior evaluation. If you can’t be home, simply arrange remote access; we’ll lock up when finished and email your report the same day.
