FAQs
Why is a certified roof inspection important in Jamestown’s climate?
Jamestown experiences heavy lake-effect snow, strong winds, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles that can quickly deteriorate roofing materials. A certified inspection identifies hidden damage, weak spots, and moisture intrusion early, helping you avoid costly emergency repairs, extend the life of your roof, and maintain warranty and insurance coverage.
What does your certified roof inspection cover?
Our inspectors follow NRCA and NY State guidelines. We visually and physically examine shingles or membrane, flashing, chimneys, skylights, gutters, ventilation, and roof decking. Inside, we inspect attic insulation, ventilation, and signs of mold or water stains. We also use drones for hard-to-reach areas and optional thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture. You receive a detailed digital report with photos, condition grades, and maintenance recommendations.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection for my Jamestown home or business?
We recommend at least two inspections per year—once in late fall before heavy snow and once in spring after thaw. Additional inspections are advised after severe wind or hail events, when buying or selling property, and whenever the roof is more than 15 years old or has undergone recent repairs.
Will the inspection report satisfy insurance or real-estate requirements?
Yes. Our inspectors are state-licensed and carry HAAG and InterNACHI certifications. The report complies with New York Building Code §1513 and includes photographic evidence, repair estimates, and a signed certification page. It is accepted by most major insurers, mortgage lenders, and real-estate professionals for claim processing, underwriting, and property transactions.
What happens if your inspectors find damage during the inspection?
You’ll receive a prioritized list of issues, from minor maintenance items to urgent structural concerns. We discuss repair options on-site, provide a written estimate within 24 hours, and can assist with insurance claim documentation. You are free to hire us for repairs or obtain additional bids—there’s no obligation.
How do I prepare for the inspection and how long will it take?
Please clear vehicles from the driveway, unlock attic access, and secure pets. No other prep is needed; you don’t have to be home, but we’ll need exterior access. A standard residential inspection (≈2,000 sq ft roof) takes 60-90 minutes, while larger or commercial roofs may take 2-3 hours, especially if thermal imaging is requested.
