FAQs
What does your free roof and siding inspection in Kodak include?
Our no-cost inspection is a top-to-bottom check of every component that protects your home. On the roof we examine shingles or metal panels, flashing, pipe boots, chimney caps, gutters, attic ventilation and any signs of hail, wind or moisture intrusion. For siding we look at panels or boards, trim, soffits, fascia, sealant lines and underlying house-wrap for warping, cracks or rot. We also check interior ceilings and attic decking for hidden leaks. All findings are documented with photos so you see exactly what we see.
How long does the inspection take and what should I expect on the day of the visit?
Most single-family homes in the Kodak area take 30–45 minutes to inspect. Our uniformed technician will introduce himself, review your concerns and then access the roof with a ladder or drone where appropriate. We may also request brief attic access. Afterward we walk you through the photos, point out any problem areas and answer questions. The entire appointment, including discussion, is usually under an hour and you will not be pressured to sign anything.
Do I need to be home while the inspection is performed?
It is helpful but not mandatory. If you can’t be present we only need permission to enter the property and secure any pets. The inspector can email or text you real-time progress photos and set up a phone or video call afterward to review the results. If attic access is required we will schedule a time when someone can let us inside.
Will I receive a written report and estimate after the inspection?
Yes. Within 24 hours you will get a digital inspection report that includes date-stamped photos, a condition summary, recommended repairs or replacement options and an itemized cost estimate. The estimate is valid for 60 days and there is absolutely no obligation to hire us. The documentation is yours to keep for insurance or future reference.
If damage is found, can you help me file an insurance claim?
Absolutely. We work with all major carriers that serve Kodak and Sevier County. Our team can help you understand your policy, create the required damage report, meet with the adjuster on-site and provide supplemental documentation if requested. Many of our customers find that having a knowledgeable contractor involved speeds up approvals and ensures all covered damage is recognized.
How soon can repair or replacement work start after the inspection?
Once you approve the proposal—or your insurance carrier issues a claim settlement—small repairs can often be scheduled within 7–10 days. Full roof or siding replacement typically starts in 2–4 weeks, depending on material availability and local permit processing. If your home has active leaks, we will install emergency tarps or temporary siding patches at the time of inspection to protect against further damage until the permanent work begins.
