FAQs
Why is an on-site inspection necessary before installing or replacing a metal roof in Graysville?
Every home and commercial building in Graysville has unique structural, ventilation, and weather-exposure conditions. An on-site inspection lets our roofing specialists measure roof geometry, check decking integrity, assess attic moisture, and look for code or flashing issues caused by our hot, humid summers and occasional hailstorms. With accurate data, we can recommend the right metal panel profile, underlayment, fastener system, and insulation so your new roof meets Alabama building codes and lasts 40–70 years.
What does your Graysville metal-roofing inspection include?
Our certified inspector will 1) walk the entire roof surface, noting panel condition, rust, loose screws, and sealant failure; 2) photograph seams, penetrations, gutters, and transitions; 3) probe decking from the attic to locate soft spots or water stains; 4) use a moisture meter around skylights, chimneys, and valleys; 5) verify ventilation balance and ridge-vent function; 6) check for uplift or wind damage per ASCE 7-22 standards; and 7) prepare a written report with repair or replacement options and a transparent cost estimate.
How long does an on-site metal-roofing inspection take?
Most residential inspections in Graysville take 60–90 minutes. Larger commercial roofs or steep-slope residences may require up to three hours to document all details safely. We schedule arrival windows of 30 minutes, and you receive a digital report within 24 hours of completion.
Will the inspection identify storm or hail damage common in Walker County?
Yes. Our inspectors are trained to spot impact bruising, coating loss, micro-cracks in paint systems, and displaced fasteners caused by hailstones or high winds. We map damaged areas on a roof sketch and supply photo evidence that meets insurance-carrier guidelines, helping you file a claim with proof of date-stamped storm events in the Graysville area.
How much does the inspection cost, and can it be credited toward the roofing project?
A standalone metal-roof inspection for homes under 3,000 sq ft is $149, while commercial properties start at $249. If you hire us for repairs or a full replacement within 90 days, we credit 100% of the inspection fee toward your contract total, essentially making the assessment free.
What should I do before the inspection team arrives?
Please clear vehicles from the driveway, unlock gates, and secure pets indoors. If attic access is inside a closet or garage, move belongings so we can reach the hatch safely. Have recent insurance paperwork handy if you suspect storm damage. You do not need to be on the roof with us—just be available to review findings and questions once we finish.
