FAQs
Why do I need a certified roof inspection in Greenback?
A certified inspection provides an unbiased, expert assessment of your roof’s condition and remaining service life. Greenback’s mix of hot summers, heavy rains, and occasional hail can accelerate wear that may not be obvious from the ground. A certified inspector is trained to spot early-stage damage, installation errors, and code violations so you can address problems before they cause leaks, structural decay, or voided warranties.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection include?
Our inspectors follow National Roof Certification and Inspection Association (NRCIA) standards. We document the roof’s age, material type, slope, and ventilation; examine shingles, flashing, chimneys, vents, skylights, and penetrations; check gutters, downspouts, and attic insulation; perform moisture readings and thermal imaging if needed; photograph all findings; and provide a written report with condition grades, maintenance recommendations, and an estimated remaining life expectancy.
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection?
Most Greenback homeowners should have an inspection at least once every two years, or immediately after severe weather such as hailstorms or straight-line winds. Homes with older roofs (15+ years) or lots of overhanging trees benefit from yearly checks. Commercial flat roofs should be inspected twice a year—once before winter and again in spring—to catch membrane or drainage issues early.
Will an inspection report help with insurance claims or real estate transactions?
Yes. A certified report documents pre-loss condition, which speeds up storm-damage claims and helps justify repair estimates with your insurer. For buyers and sellers, it identifies hidden issues that can affect price negotiations or financing. Many lenders and FHA/VA programs now require a recent roof certification to verify that the roof has at least five years of remaining life.
How long does a typical inspection take and will it disrupt my day?
Most residential inspections take 60–90 minutes. You don’t have to be present for the roof portion because we use safety harnesses and OSHA-approved equipment, but we do encourage homeowners to meet us at the end for a walk-through of photos and findings. Commercial or multi-family properties may take 2–4 hours depending on size. We never remove roofing materials or leave the roof exposed, so there’s minimal disruption.
What happens if the inspector finds damage or code violations?
The report will clearly describe each issue, its severity, and recommended corrective action. Because we are inspection specialists—not a repair crew—we provide an unbiased assessment with no sales pressure. If repairs are needed, we can supply a list of vetted local contractors or, upon request, create a detailed scope of work you can use to obtain competitive bids. After repairs are completed, we offer a follow-up inspection to verify the workmanship and update your certification.
