FAQs
Why is a professional roof inspection important when filing an insurance claim in Jonesborough?
Insurance carriers require verifiable evidence of storm or accidental damage before they will approve a claim. A certified roof inspection provides dated photos, measurements, and a written assessment that clearly links the damage to a covered peril such as wind or hail. This documentation removes guesswork for the adjuster, helps prevent claim denial, and protects you from out-of-pocket repair costs.
What does your roof inspection process include?
Our inspector starts with a ground-level evaluation, followed by a full on-roof or drone examination that covers shingles, flashing, vents, chimneys, gutters, and decking. We also check attic insulation and ventilation for hidden moisture issues. High-resolution photos, infrared imaging (when needed), and a damage diagram are compiled into a digital report you can forward directly to your insurer.
How soon after a storm can you inspect my roof?
We prioritize storm-related calls and can usually be on site within 24–48 hours in the Jonesborough area. Fast response prevents minor damage from worsening and ensures you meet the common 14-day notification window most Tennessee insurance policies specify for storm claims.
Will you assist me with the insurance paperwork and adjuster meeting?
Yes. After the inspection we complete the required loss report, itemized estimate, and photo packet. We can also meet your adjuster on-site to point out damage, answer technical questions, and reconcile scope sheets—services that often speed up claim approval and guarantee all necessary repairs are covered.
What types of roof damage are typically covered by homeowners insurance in Tennessee?
Most standard policies cover sudden and accidental events such as hail impacts, straight-line wind lifting shingles, fallen tree limbs, ice damming that causes leaks, and lightning strikes. Wear-and-tear, improper maintenance, or pre-existing issues are generally excluded, which is why prompt professional documentation after a storm is critical.
How much does a roof inspection cost, and is it reimbursable by insurance?
For homeowners in Jonesborough, we perform storm-damage inspections at no cost when you intend to file an insurance claim. For real-estate transactions or routine maintenance checks, our fee ranges from $150–$250 depending on roof size. If the inspection leads to an approved claim, many carriers allow this fee to be included in the claim estimate, effectively reimbursing you.
