FAQs
What does a certified roof inspection in Halls include?
Our certified inspection covers every component of your roofing system. We examine shingles or other surface materials for wear, blisters, cracks, missing pieces, and granule loss; check flashing at chimneys, vents, and wall joints; look for rust or loose fasteners on metal roofs; inspect gutters, downspouts, and drip edges for blockages or improper pitch; evaluate attic ventilation and insulation; and scan the decking from inside the attic for moisture stains, mold, or structural weakness. We document all findings with high-resolution photos, moisture-meter readings, and a written condition summary so you have a clear record of your roof’s health.
Why should I hire a certified inspector instead of a general contractor?
Certified inspectors have formal training, manufacturer‐approved education, and continuing education credits focused exclusively on roofing systems. In Tennessee we are required to pass the National Roof Certification & Inspection Association (NRCIA) exam and maintain liability insurance. This specialization means we recognize subtle warning signs and manufacturer installation guidelines that a general contractor might overlook. A certified report also carries more weight with insurance companies, real-estate agents, and warranty providers, helping you avoid claim disputes or resale delays.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection for my Halls property?
The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends a professional inspection at least once every 12 months and after any major weather event. Because Halls experiences spring hailstorms, summer heat waves, and occasional high-wind remnants from Gulf hurricanes, we suggest setting up a spring post-storm inspection and a late-fall pre-winter inspection. Commercial roofs with large HVAC penetrations may benefit from quarterly check-ups.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover repairs found during the inspection?
Insurance typically covers sudden, accidental damage—such as hail impact, fallen limbs, or wind uplift—but not age-related wear or maintenance issues. Our inspection report includes date-stamped photos, damage measurements, and meteorological data that help substantiate storm-related claims. If the damage is deemed storm-related, most carriers in Tennessee will pay the repair or replacement cost after you meet your policy’s deductible. We can meet with your adjuster on site to ensure they see the same evidence we documented.
How long does a roof inspection take and when will I receive the report?
A standard single-family home in Halls takes 60–90 minutes to inspect. Larger or more complex roofs (multiple dormers, steep slopes, or multi-layer systems) can take two to three hours. You’ll receive a digital report—complete with photos, marked-up diagrams, and recommendations—within 24 hours. If conditions require immediate attention (active leaks), we’ll call you from the roof and provide temporary repair options on the spot.
What should I do if the inspection uncovers storm damage or leaks?
First, don’t panic. We’ll explain the severity and outline short-term measures to prevent further water intrusion, such as emergency tarping or sealing. Next, we’ll help you decide whether to file an insurance claim and provide all supporting documentation. Finally, we’ll give you a written estimate for permanent repairs or replacement using materials that meet local building codes in Halls and manufacturer specifications, so you stay protected by both warranties and city code requirements.
