FAQs
Why is a professional roof inspection important, and how often should I schedule one?
A roof inspection identifies hidden damage, aging materials, and potential leak points before they become expensive problems. Industry best practice is to have a qualified roofer inspect your roof at least once a year and after any severe weather event such as hail, high winds, or heavy snowfall. Regular inspections extend the life of your roof, preserve your manufacturer’s warranty, and reassure insurance companies that the roof has been properly maintained.
What does Transparent Explanations Roofing look for during a roof inspection?
Our certified inspectors follow a 50-point checklist that covers shingles or other surface materials, flashing around penetrations, ventilation, gutters, decking, attic insulation, and signs of moisture intrusion. We also check for structural sagging, granule loss, missing fasteners, and premature wear. By combining a hands-on examination with drone imagery and moisture-meter readings, we provide a complete picture of your roof’s condition from ridge to eaves.
How long does a roof inspection take, and do I need to be home?
Most residential inspections take 45–90 minutes, depending on roof size and pitch. You don’t have to be home for the exterior portion, but we do recommend being present for the attic assessment and the review of our findings. If you can’t be there, we can schedule a virtual walkthrough and email photographs, drone footage, and a detailed report the same day.
Will the inspection damage my roof or property?
No. Our technicians use soft-soled shoes, protective ladder pads, and non-invasive tools to prevent scuffing or denting. For steep or delicate roofs, we deploy drones and telescopic cameras to minimize foot traffic. All attic access points are covered before and after entry to keep insulation, dust, and debris contained.
What happens after the inspection? How will I receive the results?
Within 24 hours, you’ll receive a digital report that includes annotated photos, drone images, moisture-meter readings, and a clear list of any recommended repairs ranked by priority. We’ll schedule a follow-up call—or meet in person if you prefer—to explain each finding in plain language, answer questions, and provide transparent cost estimates so you can make an informed decision.
How much does a roof inspection cost, and can it be applied toward repairs?
Our standard residential inspection in Jasper is $149, which covers the thorough 50-point evaluation, high-resolution imagery, and the comprehensive report. If you choose Transparent Explanations Roofing to perform any recommended repairs within 90 days of the inspection, we credit the full inspection fee toward the repair invoice. This way, you’re never paying twice for the same expertise.
