FAQs
Why should I hire a certified roof inspector for my Jellico home or business?
Certified inspectors have formal training, carry state-accepted credentials, and follow recognized inspection protocols such as ASTM and NRCA guidelines. This ensures defects like hail bruising, shingle uplift, flashing gaps, and deck rot are accurately diagnosed. In Jellico’s mixed Appalachian climate—high winds, heavy rains, and occasional ice storms—these small issues can rapidly evolve into costly leaks or structural damage. A certified report also holds more weight with insurers, appraisers, and mortgage lenders.
What does a professional roof inspection include?
Our inspectors begin with a ground-level survey and drone imagery to spot obvious sagging or missing materials. Next, they perform a hands-on walk-through of the roof surface, checking shingles/tiles, fasteners, sealants, flashing, vent boots, skylights, and chimney caps. The attic is examined for moisture staining, proper ventilation, insulation depth, and signs of mold. Moisture meters and infrared scanners locate hidden leaks or wet decking. Finally, you receive a digital report with annotated photos, repair recommendations, and an estimated life expectancy of each roofing component.
How often should roofs in Jellico be inspected?
The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends at least one inspection every 12 months plus after major weather events. In Jellico, we suggest: 1) Annual spring inspection—checking winter ice and freeze-thaw damage; 2) Post-summer storm check—hail, thunderstorm, and wind evaluation. New roofs under warranty often require documented annual inspections to keep coverage valid, so staying on this schedule protects both the roof and your warranty rights.
Will my insurance company accept your inspection report for a claim or policy renewal?
Yes. Our inspectors are certified through HAAG and the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance. Reports include photo evidence, measurement diagrams, moisture readings, and a clear causation statement (e.g., hail vs. age-related wear). These elements meet or exceed the documentation standards demanded by most major carriers. If your adjuster requests additional data, we supply it at no extra charge and can meet the adjuster onsite to streamline the claim process.
How much does a roof inspection cost in Jellico, and is there any obligation to buy repairs?
A standard single-family home inspection within Jellico city limits starts at $179. Larger homes, steep-slope roofs above 8/12 pitch, or commercial buildings are priced after a brief phone or email assessment. The inspection fee covers the visit and the written report; you are under no obligation to hire us for repairs. Should you choose our repair team, we credit the full inspection fee toward the repair invoice if booked within 60 days.
How long does the inspection take and when will I get the report?
Most residential inspections take 60–90 minutes onsite. Complex commercial roofs can run 2–4 hours. You will receive a comprehensive digital report—complete with color photos and recommendations—within 24 hours. For real-estate transactions or urgent insurance claims, we offer same-day reporting at no extra charge when scheduled in advance.
