FAQs
Why are regular roof inspections important in Gruetli-Laager’s mountain climate?
Gruetli-Laager sits on the Cumberland Plateau, where sudden temperature swings, high winds, and heavy rain or hail can accelerate roof wear. A twice-yearly inspection lets us spot loose shingles, hidden leaks, and storm damage before they spread to the decking, insulation, or interior ceilings. Catching problems early typically costs a fraction of a major repair or a premature replacement.
What does Mountain Storms Roofing look for during a professional roof inspection?
Our certified inspectors perform a 30-point assessment that covers: shingle condition, flashing integrity around chimneys and valleys, gutter attachment and drainage, attic ventilation and moisture levels, signs of hail impact, soft decking spots, loose fasteners, and early mold or algae growth. We document everything with high-resolution photos and provide a written report with repair recommendations and estimated timelines.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection?
Most asphalt and metal roofs should be inspected every spring and fall in our region. However, if a severe thunderstorm, hail event, or wind gusts over 50 mph move through Grundy County, schedule an inspection within 72 hours—even if you don’t see obvious damage. Many insurance policies impose time limits on filing storm-related claims.
Can roof inspections help with insurance claims after storm damage?
Yes. Our inspection report includes date-stamped photos, material samples if necessary, and a repair estimate that complies with Tennessee insurance guidelines. This documentation provides the proof of loss your adjuster needs, speeding up claim approval and ensuring you receive fair compensation for storm-related repairs or replacement.
Do I need to be home during the inspection, and how long does it take?
You’re welcome to be present, but it isn’t required. We only need exterior access to the roof, attic, and electrical panel for moisture readings. A typical single-family roof inspection takes 45–60 minutes. We email the report the same day, or, if you’re home, we can walk you through the findings on-site.
How much does a roof inspection cost, and what happens after the inspection?
For Gruetli-Laager homeowners, Mountain Storms Roofing offers complimentary inspections. If we uncover minor issues, we can often perform on-the-spot fixes at a transparent, flat rate. For larger repairs or replacements, we provide a detailed proposal and timeline. You’re under no obligation—our goal is to give you the information you need to protect your home and budget.
