FAQs
Why are regular roof inspections important for homes and businesses in Ducktown?
Ducktown experiences a mix of humid summers, occasional high-wind thunderstorms, and winter freeze–thaw cycles—all of which stress roofing materials. A professional inspection identifies minor shingle damage, flashing gaps, nail pops, and early moisture intrusion before they grow into costly leaks, mold, or structural decay. Regular inspections help homeowners maintain warranty coverage, maximize roof life expectancy, and comply with local insurance requirements.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Ducktown?
We recommend a full professional inspection at least once a year—ideally every spring or fall—plus an additional check after any severe weather event (hail, heavy wind, or ice storm). Older roofs (15+ years) or roofs with previous leak history benefit from semi-annual inspections to catch age-related deterioration early.
What does your Ducktown roof inspection include?
Our certified technicians perform a 40-point checklist covering: exterior shingle/metal/tile condition; ridge caps and hip joints; flashing at chimneys, vents, skylights, and valleys; gutter and downspout alignment; attic ventilation, insulation, and moisture levels; interior ceilings for hidden leaks; fastener integrity; roof deck movement; and photographic documentation. You’ll receive a detailed digital report with recommendations and estimated repair timelines.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and will you need to enter my home?
Most single-family home inspections take 60–90 minutes. Larger or steep-slope roofs may require up to two hours. We do request attic access to check insulation, decking, and ventilation, which usually adds only 10–15 minutes. Our team wears protective shoe covers and follows a no-mess policy indoors.
What does a roof inspection cost in Ducktown and do you offer free estimates?
A standard residential inspection is $149, which includes the written report, high-resolution photos, and a follow-up consultation call. If repairs are needed and you choose our company to perform them, we credit that fee toward the repair cost. Real-estate transaction inspections or commercial buildings are quoted individually. All repair estimates are provided at no charge.
Can a roof inspection help with insurance claims after storm damage?
Absolutely. Our inspectors are trained to document hail strikes, wind uplift, and impact dents according to insurer guidelines. We supply date-stamped photos, damage diagrams, and a repair estimate formatted for most carriers. This documentation speeds up claims processing and helps ensure you receive a fair settlement under your homeowner’s policy.
