FAQs
How often should homeowners in La Follette schedule a professional roof inspection?
Because La Follette experiences humid summers, heavy rains, and the occasional winter ice event, we recommend a full professional roof inspection at least once a year—preferably in the spring before storm season. You should also request an inspection after any major wind, hail, or ice storm to catch hidden damage early.
What does a standard roof inspection include?
Our inspection covers all visible and accessible components: shingles or metal panels, flashing, ridge caps, vent boots, skylights, chimneys, gutters, soffits, fascia, attic ventilation, and interior ceilings for signs of leaks. We photograph every area, document problem spots, and provide a written report with repair recommendations and cost estimates.
How long does a roof inspection take?
Most single-family homes in La Follette take 60–90 minutes. Larger or more complex roofs (multiple valleys, dormers, or very steep pitches) can take up to two hours. We spend extra time if storm damage is suspected so we can photograph and mark every affected area for insurance purposes.
Do I need to be home during the inspection?
It’s not required, but it’s helpful. If you can’t be there, we’ll perform the inspection, take photos, and email the report. If you are present, we can walk you through any findings on site and answer questions immediately. Either way, you’ll receive a detailed digital report within 24 hours.
How much does a roof inspection cost in the La Follette area?
A routine inspection starts at $149 for most single-story homes and $199 for two-story or steep-slope roofs. Post-storm insurance inspections are often free when scheduled within 30 days of the weather event, because the documentation helps you and your insurer decide on repairs or replacement.
What happens if the inspector finds damage or wear?
We’ll explain the severity, show you photos, and outline repair options. Minor issues like cracked flashing or a few missing shingles can usually be fixed the same week. For extensive damage we’ll prepare a full repair or replacement proposal and, if storm-related, assist with filing your insurance claim. You’re never obligated to hire us for repairs, but our team is ready if you choose to proceed.
