FAQs
What does the final inspection of my new roof in Dunlap involve?
During a final inspection, a certified roofing professional examines every component installed during your roof replacement. They check shingle alignment, flashing, vents, ridge caps, sealant, underlayment edges, attic ventilation, and gutter tie-ins. They also verify that all manufacturer and local building-code requirements have been met, that debris has been removed, and that the roof is watertight and ready for final city sign-off.
Who performs the final inspection—your company or the City of Dunlap?
First, our in-house quality-control supervisor inspects the roof and produces a detailed punch-list. After any touch-ups are completed, we schedule an official building-department inspection with the City of Dunlap. A municipal inspector then confirms that the installation complies with Dunlap’s adopted International Residential Code (IRC) standards before issuing a final approval.
How long after roof replacement does the final inspection take place?
Our company inspection is typically completed the same day the roof work finishes or within 24 hours, weather permitting. Once we pass our internal check, we submit the permit close-out request to the City of Dunlap. The city usually schedules its inspection within 2–3 business days, but peak construction seasons may extend that to 5 business days.
Do I need to be home for the final inspection?
You do not have to be present, but we recommend it if you would like to review results in real time. The inspector will need exterior access to the roof and sometimes attic access. If you cannot be there, simply arrange attic entry ahead of time, and we will email you a full inspection report with photos and any warranty documents once the roof is approved.
What happens if the roof does not pass the final inspection?
Although rare, if an issue arises our crew returns promptly—usually within 48 hours—to correct the deficiency at no extra cost. After repairs, we arrange a re-inspection. Your roof replacement is not considered complete, and you do not make your final payment, until the roof has officially passed the city’s inspection and you have received all warranty paperwork.
Does the final inspection affect my workmanship and manufacturer warranties?
Yes. Passing the final inspection confirms that the roof has been installed per code and manufacturer specifications, prerequisites for your warranties. We register your manufacturer’s material warranty (often 30–50 years, depending on product) and provide our 10-year workmanship warranty only after the city issues final approval, giving you full coverage and peace of mind.
