FAQs
What is a high-resolution photographic roof inspection?
A high-resolution photographic roof inspection uses professional-grade cameras and aerial drone technology to capture detailed images of every section of your roof. Our inspectors analyze these images to evaluate shingle condition, flashing integrity, ventilation, and potential leak points without the need for prolonged foot traffic on your roof.
Why are high-resolution photos important for roof inspections in Gruetli-Laager?
Gruetli-Laager’s mix of hot summers, heavy rainfall, and occasional winter ice can damage roofs in subtle ways that are hard to spot from the ground. High-resolution imagery magnifies small cracks, granule loss, or lifted shingles so we can spot developing issues early, document storm damage accurately, and provide clear visual evidence for repairs or insurance claims.
What types of problems can be detected with high-resolution roof photography?
The ultra-clear images reveal shingle curling or blistering, hail dents, nail pops, missing or misaligned shingles, deteriorated flashing, ponding water on flat sections, moss or algae growth, chimney and vent seal failures, and soft spots in decking. Many of these issues start small and can be corrected inexpensively when caught early.
How often should I schedule a high-resolution roof inspection?
Most asphalt and metal roofs should be inspected once a year, preferably in spring or early fall. However, you should also schedule an inspection after any severe weather event—hail, high winds, or heavy ice—that may have impacted your roof. Regular annual imaging builds a visual history that makes it easy to track changes over time.
What happens during and after the inspection?
Our FAA-certified drone pilot or ladder-equipped technician captures dozens of overlapping high-resolution photos, typically in 30–45 minutes. Within 24–48 hours you receive a digital report that includes annotated images, detailed findings, maintenance recommendations, and a cost estimate for any needed repairs. We’ll also review the report with you, answer questions, and prioritize next steps.
Is the inspection process safe for my roof and helpful for insurance purposes?
Yes. Using drones or limited foot traffic minimizes the risk of shingle damage compared with traditional walk-over inspections. The dated, high-resolution images serve as third-party documentation that many insurers in Tennessee accept when processing storm-damage claims, helping speed approvals and ensuring you receive fair compensation.
