FAQs
Why are regular roof inspections important in Fountain City?
Fountain City experiences hot, humid summers, sudden thunderstorms, and occasional winter freezes—conditions that accelerate shingle wear, flashing failure, and hidden moisture intrusion. Scheduling routine inspections allows us to detect minor issues such as lifted shingles, cracked sealant, or early wood rot before they turn into costly leaks, mold growth, or structural damage. Regular inspections also protect manufacturer warranties, preserve your home’s energy efficiency, and can even lower insurance premiums by documenting your roof’s condition.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection include?
Our certified technicians follow a 50-point checklist that covers: • Exterior evaluation—shingles, tiles, metal panels, flashing, ridge caps, hip caps, gutters, downspouts, drip edge, fascia, soffits, siding transitions, chimney, skylights, and roof penetrations. • Interior assessment—attic insulation levels, ventilation, signs of moisture, decking integrity, and possible mold. • Infrared moisture scan—non-invasive thermal imaging pinpoints hidden leaks under shingles or in flat-roof membranes. • Detailed photo & video report—high-resolution images, deficiency notes, and repair recommendations. • Action plan & estimate—prioritized fixes, life-expectancy projection, and maintenance tips specific to Fountain City’s climate.
How often should I have my Fountain City roof inspected?
We recommend a professional inspection twice a year—once in the spring after winter freeze-thaw cycles and again in the fall before heavy rains and potential ice events. In addition, schedule an immediate inspection after hail storms, high-wind events exceeding 50 mph, or if you notice ceiling stains, missing shingles, or unusual granule loss in your gutters.
Will a roof inspection help me with insurance claims after storm damage?
Absolutely. Our inspectors are trained in industry-standard Haag and Xactimate protocols, ensuring that the documentation we provide meets insurer requirements. We supply time-stamped photos, damage measurements, and a repair estimate that you can submit with your claim. Having an objective, third-party report often speeds up the approval process and maximizes the payout you’re entitled to under your policy.
Do I need to be home during the roof inspection?
No, but we encourage it if you’d like real-time feedback. If you can’t be present, we’ll perform the inspection safely, then email or text you a secure link to your full digital report within 24 hours. For attic assessments, we’ll need access to an interior entry point, so please arrange that in advance or leave instructions.
How much does a professional roof inspection cost, and do you offer free estimates?
A standard single-family residential inspection in Fountain City starts at $149, which includes the 50-point checklist and digital report. If you proceed with recommended repairs exceeding $750, we credit the inspection fee toward the project cost. For real-estate transactions or multi-family properties, pricing varies by roof size and complexity—call us for a free, no-obligation estimate.
