FAQs
Why are preventive roof inspections important for homes in Farragut?
Farragut’s humid subtropical climate subjects roofs to intense summer heat, heavy rain, the occasional hailstorm, and sudden wind gusts off the Tennessee River. A preventive inspection locates small problems—loose shingles, popped nails, cracked sealant—before moisture penetrates the roof deck or mold forms in the attic. Catching issues early costs a fraction of what an emergency repair or full replacement would, and it helps preserve manufacturer warranties that require documented maintenance.
What does a preventive tune-up roof inspection include?
Our technician starts with a full visual inspection of all slopes, penetrations, and flashing using both ground-level binoculars and on-roof evaluation. We secure or replace up to 10 loose or missing shingles, reseal pipe boots and exposed nail heads, tighten flashing around chimneys, skylights, and wall transitions, clear minor debris from valleys and gutters within reach, document attic ventilation and insulation levels, photograph every finding, and provide a written condition report with recommended repairs, if any.
How often should I schedule a roof tune-up in Farragut?
For asphalt shingle roofs under normal conditions, we recommend an annual inspection each spring after winter freeze-thaw cycles. If your home is surrounded by large trees, has an older roof (15+ years), or has recently experienced hail or high-wind storms, a semi-annual (spring and fall) schedule is safer. Metal and tile roofs can typically be inspected every 18–24 months, though sealant points still need yearly checks.
Can preventive inspections reduce insurance costs or extend my roof’s life?
Yes. Documented maintenance demonstrates to insurers that your roof is a lower risk, and some carriers may offer small premium credits or waive certain inspection requirements after storms. More importantly, National Roofing Contractors Association data show that proactive tune-ups can add 5–7 years to the life of an asphalt roof by preventing moisture-related deck rot and premature shingle deterioration, saving thousands in premature replacement costs.
What warning signs mean I should call for an inspection right away?
Schedule an immediate check if you notice missing or curled shingles after a storm, dark streaks or stains on interior ceilings, excessive granules in downspouts, daylight showing in the attic, sagging roof lines, or chirping critter noises that could indicate pest entry. These symptoms suggest active leaks or structural damage that require quick attention to prevent costly interior repairs.
How much does a preventive tune-up cost and is there a warranty?
In Farragut, our standard single-family roof tune-up starts at $189 for roofs up to 3,000 square feet and normal pitch; larger or steep roofs are quoted on site. The service fee is credited toward any recommended same-day repairs over $500. All workmanship completed during the tune-up—including shingle replacement and flashing reseal—carries a 12-month labor warranty, giving homeowners peace of mind until the next scheduled inspection.
