FAQs
Why are routine roof inspections important for Huntsville homeowners?
Huntsville’s mix of hot summers, heavy rain, occasional hail, and high humidity accelerates shingle aging and can hide leaks in the attic. A professional inspection spots small problems—loose shingles, compromised flashing, soft decking—before they turn into costly structural repairs, interior water damage, or mold growth. Regular inspections protect the full life expectancy of your roof, maintain manufacturer warranties, and preserve your home’s resale value.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Huntsville?
For asphalt-shingle or metal roofs in our climate, we recommend a comprehensive inspection at least once every 12–18 months and after any severe weather event (hail, straight-line winds, or a tornado warning). Older roofs (15+ years) or roofs under large trees should be checked every spring and fall. Real-estate transactions or insurance renewals also warrant an immediate inspection.
What does Structural Integrity Roofing check during an inspection?
Our HAAG-certified inspectors follow a 50-point checklist that includes: exterior review of shingles, tiles, metal panels, and fasteners; flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents, and valleys; gutter alignment and drainage; seals on pipe boots; attic insulation depth, ventilation flow, and moisture readings; decking deflection and nail pops; infrared scanning for hidden leaks; and photographs of any hail bruising, wind uplift, or UV deterioration. You receive a written report with annotated images and repair recommendations.
Do you provide documentation I can use for insurance claims or home sales?
Yes. Within 24 hours you receive a digital inspection package that includes high-resolution photos, infrared images, condition ratings, and a repair estimate. The report is formatted to meet carrier requirements (date-stamped, weather data included) and conforms to local real-estate disclosure standards. If you open a claim, we will meet the adjuster on site to verify our findings at no additional charge.
How much does a roof inspection cost, and is it ever free?
A stand-alone residential inspection in Huntsville costs $149 and includes the full written report and photos. The fee is waived if you authorize Structural Integrity Roofing to perform recommended repairs over $750 within 90 days. Storm-damage inspections for insurance purposes are offered at no up-front cost when you sign a contingency agreement allowing us to complete covered repairs at the carrier-approved price.
What happens if you find damage during the inspection?
We will clearly mark every affected area on your roof and in the report, explain the severity, and outline repair or replacement options. Minor issues (a few missing shingles or lifted flashing) can often be fixed on the spot. For larger problems we provide a detailed proposal, help you file an insurance claim if storm damage is involved, and schedule the work around your timeline. All repairs are backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty and optional manufacturer extended warranties on full replacements.
