FAQs
What is a digital roof inspection and how does it differ from a traditional inspection?
A digital roof inspection combines high-resolution drone imagery, on-roof photos, and specialized measuring software to create a precise, shareable report of your roof’s condition. Unlike a traditional inspection that relies solely on a technician’s visual notes, our Etowah team captures dozens of images from multiple angles, maps every plane and penetration, and uploads the data to a cloud platform. You receive a detailed PDF and interactive 3-D model instead of a handwritten checklist, making it easier to see and understand any issues.
What information will I find in the digital roof inspection report?
Your report includes: • Aerial and close-up photos tagged to specific roof sections. • A measurement summary (ridge length, slope, eave length, total square footage, and waste factor). • Marked problem areas such as missing shingles, cracked flashing, hail or wind impact, clogged gutters, and chimney deficiencies. • A life-expectancy estimate for each roofing component. • Priority repair recommendations with budget ranges. • A maintenance calendar tailored to Etowah’s weather patterns. The file is ready to download, email, or forward to your insurance agent or realtor.
How long does a digital roof inspection take and when will I receive my report?
Most single-family homes in Etowah can be scanned in 30–45 minutes without anyone needing to be inside. After the field visit, we process the images through our software and perform a quality review. You will receive your finalized report within 24 hours—often the same day—via a secure email link.
Is a digital roof inspection safe for my roof and property?
Yes. Our FAA-certified drone pilots maintain a safe distance above your home, preventing foot-traffic damage to shingles. When on-roof access is required, inspectors use padded shoes and OSHA-approved harnesses to minimize impact. All equipment is battery powered, so there are no cords or ladders left unattended around your property.
Will the digital inspection satisfy insurance or real-estate transaction requirements in Etowah?
Absolutely. The report meets or exceeds standards requested by most national insurers and local real-estate brokers. Each document is date-stamped, geo-tagged, and includes high-definition evidence of any storm damage, a key requirement for claims in McMinn County. If your carrier or lender needs additional forms, we will supply them at no extra charge.
How much does a digital roof inspection cost and do you offer free estimates for repairs?
A standalone digital inspection for a typical residential roof in Etowah starts at $199, which covers the site visit, data processing, and full report. If we discover issues and you choose our team for the repairs, the inspection fee is credited toward the project. Emergency post-storm assessments for active leaks are free within 48 hours of a verified weather event.
