FAQs
Why should I hire a certified inspector for my roof in Kodak instead of checking it myself?
Certified roof inspectors are trained to detect hidden problems an untrained eye can miss—such as early-stage shingle failure, subtle hail bruising, improper flashing, and moisture intrusion in the decking or attic. In Kodak’s humid, storm-prone climate, undetected issues can lead to mold, interior leaks, and premature roof replacement. A certified inspector also understands local building codes and manufacturer warranty requirements, so you get an accurate assessment that protects your home, your safety, and your investment.
What does your roof inspection service in Kodak include?
Our comprehensive inspection covers: (1) Exterior surface review—shingles, metal panels, tiles, and fasteners; (2) Flashings around chimneys, skylights, valleys, and walls; (3) Gutters, downspouts, and drip edges for clogs or damage; (4) Roof penetrations such as plumbing vents and HVAC stacks; (5) Structural components in the attic—rafters, decking, insulation, and ventilation; (6) Moisture testing with infrared or moisture meters when needed; and (7) Photographic documentation and a written report with repair recommendations and estimated life expectancy.
How often should a roof in Kodak be inspected?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring after winter ice and in the fall before heavy rains. Additionally, you should schedule an inspection after severe weather events—hail, high winds, or heavy snow—common in Sevier County. Regular annual inspections catch small problems early, keep your warranty valid, and can reduce insurance premiums by documenting proactive maintenance.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and will it disrupt my day?
Most residential inspections in Kodak take 60–90 minutes. Steeper roofs, complex designs, or large square footage can extend the time to about two hours. We do not require you to be on the roof or even at home if we have exterior access. Interior attic checks add only 10–15 minutes, and we wear shoe covers and use drop cloths to keep your home clean. You receive your digital report the same day or within 24 hours.
Will I get a written report and photos after the inspection?
Yes. Every client receives a detailed, easy-to-read digital report that includes high-resolution photos, thermal images (if used), deficiency descriptions, recommended corrective actions, and a projected roof lifespan. We archive the report for five years, so you have documentation for future real-estate transactions, warranty claims, or insurance purposes.
What happens if damage is found during the inspection?
If we discover damage, we’ll explain the severity on site, show you photos, and discuss immediate safety concerns. Within the written report you’ll get a prioritized repair plan and an itemized estimate from our roofing division—there’s no obligation to hire us for repairs, but doing so streamlines the process. For storm-related damage, we can supply the documentation your insurance carrier requires and even meet with the adjuster to ensure you receive a fair settlement.
