FAQs
How often should homeowners in Dandridge schedule a professional roof inspection?
In Dandridge’s humid subtropical climate, we recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year—preferably in the spring or fall—plus an additional inspection after any severe weather event such as hail, high winds, or heavy snowfall. Regular inspections can catch small issues like loose shingles or flashing damage before they evolve into costly leaks and structural problems.
What does a licensed roof inspection include?
Our licensed inspectors conduct a comprehensive assessment that covers: exterior shingle and tile integrity, flashing and sealant condition, gutter and downspout performance, chimney and vent boot sealing, attic ventilation and insulation checks, moisture intrusion detection with infrared cameras when needed, and a full written report with photographs, findings, and prioritized repair recommendations.
Why choose a licensed inspector instead of doing a visual check myself?
While a quick visual scan from the ground can spot obvious damage, only a trained, licensed inspector has the expertise, safety equipment, and diagnostic tools to evaluate hidden issues like underlying deck rot, compromised underlayment, or subtle hail bruising. Hiring a licensed professional also ensures your inspection report is recognized by insurance companies and real-estate professionals, adding credibility and potential savings on claims or negotiations.
How long does a roof inspection take and will it disrupt my day?
A typical single-family roof in Dandridge takes about 60–90 minutes to inspect. Our inspectors coordinate appointments around your schedule, and you don’t need to be home the entire time—just available at the start or end for access and review. We follow strict safety protocols and leave no mess, so disruption is minimal.
What is the cost of a roof inspection and is it refundable if repairs are needed?
For most homes in Dandridge, our standard inspection fee ranges from $150 to $225, depending on roof size and complexity. If you proceed with recommended repairs or a roof replacement through our company within 90 days, we credit 100% of the inspection cost toward the project, effectively making the inspection free.
Can a roof inspection help with insurance claims after a storm?
Absolutely. Our licensed inspectors are trained to document storm damage in accordance with insurance guidelines. We provide a detailed report, high-resolution photos, and an itemized repair estimate that you can submit directly to your insurer. This documentation often speeds up claim approval and helps ensure you receive fair compensation for storm-related roof damage.
