FAQs
Why is a proactive roof inspection important for homes and businesses in Friendsville?
Friendsville’s mix of hot, humid summers, heavy rains, and occasional high-wind storms puts constant stress on roofing materials. A proactive inspection spots small issues—like lifted shingles, loose flashing, or early membrane cracks—before they let water in or become costly structural repairs. Early detection extends the service life of the roof, maintains your manufacturer’s warranty, and can even lower insurance premiums by showing that you actively maintain the property.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Friendsville?
We recommend two routine inspections per year—once in the spring after winter weather and once in the fall before the storm-prone season. In addition, schedule a spot inspection after any major wind, hail, or heavy rain event. Commercial buildings with large flat roofs or older residential roofs (15+ years) benefit from quarterly check-ups.
What does your proactive roof inspection include?
Our certified inspectors perform a 50-point check that covers: • Exterior evaluation of shingles, tiles, or membrane for wear, cracks, or granule loss • Flashing, vents, chimneys, and roof penetrations for gaps or corrosion • Gutter and downspout condition and drainage flow • Attic or ceiling space for moisture, daylight intrusion, and adequate ventilation • Infrared moisture scan (when requested) to detect hidden leaks • Photographic documentation and a written report with maintenance or repair recommendations
Will the inspection disrupt my daily routine?
No. A standard residential inspection takes 60–90 minutes, while most commercial roofs are completed in two to three hours. All work is non-invasive—we won’t remove roofing materials or create noise like a repair crew would. You do not have to be home, but we encourage you to be present for a brief walkthrough at the end so we can show you our findings firsthand.
How much does a proactive roof inspection cost in Friendsville, and is it worth it?
For most single-family homes, our inspection fee ranges from $150 to $250, depending on roof size and accessibility. Commercial buildings start at $300. If repairs are needed, we credit the full inspection fee toward the repair cost when you hire us, effectively making the inspection free. Considering the average leak repair in Friendsville can run $800–$1,200 and full replacements start at $9,000, a low-cost inspection is one of the smartest preventative investments you can make.
What happens if your inspection finds damage or potential problems?
You’ll receive a detailed, prioritized action list with photos, estimated repair costs, and timelines. Minor maintenance items (caulking, replacing a few shingles) can often be scheduled within a week. For major issues, we’ll provide a comprehensive repair or replacement proposal, assist with insurance claim documentation if storm damage is involved, and coordinate all necessary permits. You are under no obligation to use our repair services, but most clients appreciate the continuity of working with the team that found the problem.
