FAQs
Why are regular roof inspections important for homes and businesses in Halls, TN?
Halls is located in East Tennessee’s Ridge-and-Valley region, where high winds, spring hail, heavy summer downpours, and humid conditions can all shorten a roof’s life span. A professional inspection identifies missing shingles, damaged flashing, early mold or rot, and ventilation problems before they turn into leaks or structural issues. Finding problems early typically costs far less to correct than waiting until water damage spreads to insulation, drywall, or electrical systems.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection?
We recommend two routine inspections each year—once in the spring, after winter freeze-thaw cycles, and once in the fall, after summer storms and before cold weather arrives. In addition, schedule an immediate inspection after any severe weather event (hail, wind gusts over 45 mph, or a tornado warning) or if you notice signs such as ceiling stains, granules in gutters, or loose shingles on the ground.
What does an East Tennessee Roofing inspection include?
1. Exterior survey: We examine shingles, metal panels, tiles, or membrane seams; flashing at chimneys, skylights, and wall intersections; sealant around vents and pipe boots; and gutter alignment/drainage. 2. Structural check: From the ground and roof we look for sagging ridgelines, soft decking, or damaged rafters. 3. Attic evaluation: Inside we assess insulation depth, look for daylight penetration, measure moisture levels, and verify intake/exhaust ventilation balance. 4. Moisture mapping: Infrared scanning and moisture meters locate trapped water that is invisible to the eye. 5. Detailed report: You receive photos, condition grades, recommended repairs or maintenance, and an estimate, usually within 24 hours.
Will a roof inspection help with my insurance claim after a storm?
Yes. Our inspectors are trained in Haag Engineering storm-damage assessment standards, so the documentation we provide—date-stamped photos, damage diagrams, and repair estimates—meets or exceeds most insurer requirements. Having an objective, third-party report often speeds claim approval and ensures you receive the appropriate coverage for hail dents, wind-torn shingles, or water infiltration.
How long does a typical roof inspection take, and do I need to be home?
A standard single-family roof in Halls usually takes 45–60 minutes to inspect, plus another 15–20 minutes if attic access is available. Commercial or complex multi-level roofs may require 1½–2 hours. You don’t have to be present as long as we have safe roof and attic access; however, many clients prefer to be on site so we can review preliminary findings together.
What does a professional roof inspection cost?
For most residential properties in the Halls area, our comprehensive inspection—including attic evaluation and infrared moisture scan—costs $149. The fee is credited toward any repair or replacement work you approve within 90 days. Multi-family or commercial roofs are quoted individually based on square footage and complexity. We also offer complimentary visual post-storm inspections (no attic or infrared) to help homeowners quickly assess potential damage.
