FAQs
Why are hidden roof leaks a common issue in Friendsville?
Friendsville’s mix of heavy spring rains, summer humidity, and occasional winter freezes can force water under shingles and flashing. Over time, that moisture migrates through decking and insulation before any staining appears indoors, creating ‘hidden’ leaks that homeowners don’t notice until significant damage is done.
How does a professional roof inspection detect leaks I can’t see?
Our inspectors combine visual examinations with moisture-meter readings, infrared thermal imaging, and drone photography. These tools reveal temperature anomalies, trapped moisture, and displaced shingles that can’t be spotted from the ground, allowing us to find leaks before they reach your living space.
What parts of the roof do you check during an inspection?
We examine all critical zones: shingles, flashing, valleys, vents, skylights, chimneys, ridge caps, gutters, attic decking, insulation, and interior ceilings. By assessing both the exterior surface and underlying structure, we can trace the full path of hidden moisture and recommend targeted repairs.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Friendsville?
We recommend a full inspection at least once every two years, plus an additional check after major hail or wind events. Aging roofs (15+ years) or roofs with previous repairs benefit from annual inspections because their components deteriorate faster in our climate.
What does a roof inspection cost, and is the fee credited toward repairs?
A standard single-family roof inspection in Friendsville typically ranges from $150-$250, depending on roof size and pitch. If you hire us to perform any recommended repairs within 90 days, we apply the inspection fee toward the repair invoice, effectively making the inspection free.
How long does the inspection take, and will it disrupt my day?
Most inspections take 60-90 minutes. Our team only needs brief attic access and does not require you to be home the entire time. You’ll receive a digital report with photos, moisture readings, and a prioritized repair plan the same day, allowing you to review findings at your convenience.
