FAQs
What are the most common signs of damaged shingles on La Follette homes?
Look for curled, cracked, or missing tabs; dark or shiny spots where granules have worn off; moss or algae streaks; exposed nail heads; and shingle pieces in gutters or on the lawn. After strong winds or hail, also check for dents in metal flashing and granule accumulation in downspouts—both indicate shingle surface loss.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in La Follette’s climate?
Because Campbell County experiences frequent spring storms, summer heat, and occasional winter ice, we recommend a professional inspection at least once a year—preferably every spring—plus an additional check after any severe wind or hail event. Regular inspections catch small shingle issues early, extending the roof’s service life and safeguarding your warranty.
What does your damaged-shingle roof inspection include?
Our licensed inspector performs a 25-point assessment: exterior walk-around, on-roof inspection of shingle integrity, flashing, vents, and penetrations; attic check for leaks, moisture, or daylight; moisture-meter readings of decking; photo documentation; and a written report with repair or replacement options, cost estimates, and maintenance tips tailored to La Follette’s weather patterns.
Can a professional inspection help me file an insurance claim after wind or hail damage?
Yes. We document storm-related shingle damage with date-stamped photos, measurement of hail impacts, and a detailed condition report that meets insurer requirements. We can meet adjusters on-site to point out damage and provide supporting evidence, greatly improving your chances of a fair settlement for repairs or full roof replacement.
If only a few shingles are missing or cracked, do I need a full roof replacement?
Not necessarily. If the damage is localized and the remaining shingles are still within their service life, targeted repairs can restore watertight integrity. However, if inspections show widespread granule loss, curling, or underlying decking damage, a replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. Our report will lay out both options with transparent pricing.
What is the typical cost and duration of a roof inspection in the La Follette area?
A standard single-family home inspection usually costs $95–$150 and takes 45–60 minutes on-site, with the written report delivered within 24 hours. Larger or steeper roofs may cost slightly more. If repairs are approved, we credit the inspection fee toward the project, making the evaluation essentially free for most customers.
