FAQs
Why are regular roof inspections important in Jellico’s mountain climate?
Jellico sits in the Cumberland Mountains, where steep temperature swings, heavy rains, high winds, and occasional snow or ice all put extra stress on roofing systems. A scheduled inspection helps catch loose shingles, cracked flashing, and water-intrusion points before they turn into expensive leaks or structural rot. Preventive checks extend the roof’s life, keep energy bills lower, and protect the interior of your home from moisture-related mold and mildew.
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection?
We recommend at least two inspections per year—once in early spring after winter weather and again in late fall before freeze-thaw cycles begin. In addition, you should call us after any major wind, hail, or ice event. Frequent monitoring ensures your roof is ready for the next season and allows us to document its condition for insurance purposes.
What does Mountain Weather Roofing look for during a roof inspection?
Our certified technicians perform a 30-point assessment that includes: 1) shingles or metal panels for cracks, punctures, or corrosion; 2) flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys; 3) gutter alignment and debris buildup; 4) attic ventilation and insulation levels; 5) moisture readings for hidden leaks; 6) structural decking integrity. We take photos and thermal images so you can see exactly what we see.
Can I inspect my own roof instead of hiring a professional?
Visual checks from the ground are helpful, but climbing onto a roof without proper safety gear is dangerous—especially on steep mountain pitches. A professional carries fall-protection equipment, knows how to spot subtle damage, and understands local building codes and manufacturer warranty requirements. Hiring us preserves your safety and often keeps your roof warranty valid.
What roofing issues unique to Jellico do your inspections frequently uncover?
Common regional problems include wind-uplifted shingles on ridgelines, ice-damming along north-facing eaves, hail dents on metal roofs, moss and algae growth in shaded valleys, and moisture-wicking through improperly sealed fasteners. Spotting these early helps prevent leaks, rust, and structural decay caused by repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
How long does a roof inspection take and what happens afterward?
Most single-family homes require 45–90 minutes for a full inspection. Immediately afterward, we review images with you on-site or by video call, explain any deficiencies, and provide a written digital report—usually within 24 hours. If repairs are needed, you receive a prioritized estimate along with maintenance recommendations to maximize roof life and energy efficiency.
