FAQs
Why should I hire a certified roof inspector instead of doing it myself?
Certified inspectors are trained to recognize damage, code violations, and subtle wear that untrained eyes overlook. They use specialized tools—moisture meters, infrared scanners, and drones—to detect hidden leaks or structural weaknesses. An official report from a certified professional is also accepted by insurance carriers, lenders, and real-estate agents, giving you documented proof of the roof’s condition and protecting you from liability.
What does a roof inspection in La Follette typically cover?
Our inspection checklist includes: shingles, tiles, or metal panels; flashing around chimneys, skylights, and valleys; gutters and downspouts; roof decking and underlayment; attic ventilation and insulation; signs of moisture intrusion, mold, or rot; structural components such as trusses and rafters; and storm-damage assessment for wind or hail. You receive a photo-rich digital report outlining any deficiencies, life-expectancy estimates, and recommended repairs or maintenance.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Campbell County’s climate?
For most homes we recommend an inspection every two years, or immediately after severe weather (wind over 60 mph, hail, or heavy ice). The freeze-thaw cycles and occasional hailstorms common in La Follette can shorten roof life, so regular check-ups catch minor issues before they become leaks that damage interiors.
Will your company help me with insurance claims if damage is found?
Yes. If storm damage is documented, our certified inspectors will compile an insurance-ready report with photos, repair estimates, and code references. We can meet your adjuster on-site to make sure nothing is missed, speeding up the claim process and maximizing your eligible reimbursement.
How long does the inspection take and what do I receive afterward?
Most single-family roofs in La Follette take 60–90 minutes to inspect. Larger or steep-slope roofs may take a bit longer. Within 24 hours you will receive a secure PDF and web link to your report, complete with annotated photos, a condition grade (Good / Fair / Poor), repair priorities, maintenance tips, and an estimated remaining service life.
How much does a certified roof inspection cost in La Follette?
For residential properties up to 3,000 sq ft, our standard inspection is $149. Larger homes and commercial roofs are quoted individually based on size and complexity. If you hire our team to perform recommended repairs, we credit the inspection fee toward the repair invoice, effectively making the inspection free.
