FAQs
Why should I schedule a photo-backed roof inspection in Flintville?
A photographic inspection documents the exact condition of your roof the day we arrive, giving you visual proof you can share with insurance carriers, real-estate agents, or contractors. In Flintville’s mixed climate—hot, humid summers, frequent thunderstorms, and the occasional hail event—shingles, flashing, and decking can deteriorate quickly. High-resolution photos pinpoint problems like lifted shingles, nail pops, and granule loss that may be invisible from the ground, allowing you to address issues early and avoid costlier repairs or premature replacement.
What is included in your photo-backed roof inspection service?
Our technician performs a 25-point visual assessment and captures 40–60 high-resolution images (and 4K drone shots where permitted) of all critical components: shingles or panels, penetrations, flashing, vents, chimney caps, gutters, fascia, soffit, and attic decking. You receive: 1) a written summary explaining each finding in plain English; 2) annotated photos highlighting damage or code violations; 3) a repair priority list with time frames; and 4) an estimate for any recommended work. The report is emailed as a PDF within 24 hours and stored in the cloud for five years for easy retrieval.
How soon will I get my inspection report and how do I access the photos?
In most cases, the full report is delivered the same business day. For inspections scheduled after 3 p.m., you will receive the report by 10 a.m. the next morning. We email you a secure PDF that contains clickable thumbnail photos linked to the high-resolution originals stored in our encrypted client portal. You can download all images or share the entire report with your insurance adjuster or realtor using a one-click share link that expires after 14 days for security.
Do you use drones during the inspection, and is it legal in Flintville?
Yes. Our FAA Part 107-certified pilots use drones when a roof’s pitch, height, or surface type makes a hands-on inspection unsafe. Flintville is outside the restricted airspace of Redstone Arsenal and Huntsville International Airport, so flight operations are legal with standard notice to the Low-Level Airspace Database. We follow all FAA altitude, line-of-sight, and privacy rules, and we carry $1 million in UAV liability coverage. If weather or local restrictions prevent drone use, we rely on telescopic cameras and harness-assisted roof access instead.
How much does a photo-backed inspection cost and do you help with insurance claims?
A standard single-family roof inspection in Flintville is $189. Homes over 4,000 sq ft, multi-family dwellings, or properties with metal or tile roofs add $50–$100 due to longer on-site time. If storm damage is documented, we provide a complementary claim support packet that includes date-stamped photos, a wind/hail event report from NOAA, and a line-item repair estimate generated with Xactimate—the same software most insurers use. We can meet your adjuster on-site to review the findings for a flat $75 trip fee.
What types of roofs do you inspect and can you detect hidden damage?
We inspect asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, metal standing-seam panels, ribbed metal, cedar shakes, clay/concrete tile, and flat membrane systems (EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen). Infrared scanning is available as an add-on to reveal trapped moisture under low-slope membranes or within attic insulation. Inside the attic, we photograph water stains, microbial growth, insufficient ventilation, and insulation deficiencies that often accompany roof leaks. Our combination of surface photos, attic images, and optional thermal scans provides a comprehensive picture of both visible and hidden damage so you can make fully informed repair decisions.
