FAQs
Why are professional roof inspections important for homes and businesses in Decherd and Franklin County?
A professional roof inspection uncovers hidden damage, aging materials, and potential leak points before they become expensive repairs. In Franklin County, our roofs endure hot summers, occasional hail, high winds, and heavy rain. A trained inspector knows how these local conditions affect shingles, flashing, vents, and decking. By documenting the current condition with photos and a written report, you gain peace of mind, extend roof life, and maintain any manufacturer or insurance warranties that require periodic inspections.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection?
We recommend a comprehensive inspection at least once every 12 months, plus an additional check after any major storm, hail event, or wind advisory. If your roof is over 10 years old, semi-annual inspections are wise because aging materials deteriorate faster. Regular assessments help detect minor issues such as loose shingles or failing sealant early, saving you money and preventing interior damage.
What does Franklin County Roofs include in its roof inspection service?
Our standard inspection covers the entire roofing system: shingles or metal panels, flashing, chimney caps, pipe boots, skylights, gutters, attic ventilation, and underlying decking (from the attic when accessible). We look for missing or curling shingles, granule loss, rusted fasteners, moisture intrusion, mold, and structural sagging. Afterward, you receive a digital report with annotated photos, a condition grade, and a prioritized repair or maintenance plan.
Do I need to be home during the inspection, and how long does it take?
It’s helpful but not required to be on-site. If you can’t be home, we arrange access to the attic (if necessary) and email the report. A typical single-family roof in Decherd takes 45–60 minutes to inspect. Larger properties, steep pitches, or complex features such as multiple chimneys may take up to 90 minutes.
How much does a roof inspection cost in the Decherd area?
For most residential properties under 4,000 sq ft, our inspection fee is $149. This includes the full on-roof evaluation, attic check, moisture readings, and the detailed report. Commercial or large estate roofs are priced individually after a quick phone assessment. If you proceed with any recommended repair work within 30 days, we credit the inspection fee toward the final invoice.
What happens if the inspection reveals storm damage—can you help with insurance claims?
Absolutely. If we document hail impact, wind lift, or punctures that qualify as storm damage, we guide you through the claims process. Our inspector provides the photos and itemized estimate your carrier needs, meets the adjuster on-site if requested, and advocates to ensure all necessary repairs are approved. Partnering with us streamlines the paperwork and speeds up roof restoration, so your home or business stays protected.
