FAQs
Why are regular roof inspections important in Knoxville's climate?
Knoxville experiences hot, humid summers, occasional hail, and sudden temperature swings that can cause shingles to expand, contract, and crack. Routine inspections let certified professionals spot small issues like lifted shingles, nail pops, and failing flashing before they become leaks, mold growth, or structural damage. Catching problems early keeps repair costs low and prolongs the life of your roofing system.
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection?
The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends at least one professional inspection every year, plus an additional check after any major weather event such as hail, high winds, or heavy snowfall. For newer roofs, an annual visit is usually sufficient. Older roofs (15 years or more) or roofs with previous storm damage benefit from spring and fall inspections to stay ahead of age-related wear.
What does a certified roof inspection include?
Our certified roofing pros follow a 20-point checklist that covers the entire roofing assembly: shingles or metal panels, flashing, vents, chimney caps, gutters, decking, and attic ventilation. We examine shingle granule loss, sealant integrity, moisture intrusion, insulation levels, and structural movement. You receive a detailed photo report, repair recommendations ranked by urgency, and an estimate—so you can make informed decisions.
Will a roof inspection help with my insurance claim after storm damage?
Absolutely. Insurance carriers require documented proof of damage. Our Haag-certified inspectors create a thorough report complete with high-resolution photos, slope diagrams, and a written assessment that complies with insurer guidelines. This documentation streamlines the claims process and maximizes your chances of full coverage for hail or wind damage repairs.
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, pitch, and accessibility. You don’t have to be present as long as we have safe roof access, but many homeowners prefer to be onsite for a walkthrough of findings. If you can’t be home, we’ll email the full report the same day and set up a call to discuss results.
What does a roof inspection cost, and do you offer free inspections?
A stand-alone inspection with full documentation starts at $149 for most Knoxville homes. However, if you suspect recent storm damage or need an inspection for a real estate transaction, we offer no-cost assessments where we’re confident insurance or repair work may be necessary. All fees are applied as a credit toward any repair or replacement you choose to have us perform.
