FAQs
Why should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Lookout Mountain?
Lookout Mountain’s unique elevation exposes homes to rapid temperature swings, strong valley winds, and heavy seasonal rainfall. These conditions accelerate shingle wear, loosen flashing, and can cause hidden moisture intrusion. A certified inspection identifies small issues before they become costly leaks, protects your home’s structural integrity, and helps preserve manufacturer warranties that often require documented maintenance.
What qualifications do your certified roof inspectors have?
Every inspector on our team is licensed in the state, holds certification through the National Roof Certification & Inspection Association (NRCIA), and completes annual continuing-education modules on steep-slope roofing, storm-damage assessment, and infrared moisture detection. We also carry full general liability and workers-comp insurance, so homeowners are fully protected during the inspection process.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection include?
We start with a detailed exterior survey—checking shingles, tiles, metal panels, flashing, gutters, vents, skylights, chimneys, and roof penetrations. Using drones and high-resolution cameras, we photograph hard-to-reach areas. Inside the attic, we inspect decking, insulation, ventilation, and look for signs of condensation or mold. Finally, we provide moisture-meter readings, fastener pull tests when needed, and a full written report with photos, repair recommendations, and maintenance tips.
How often should Lookout Mountain homeowners have their roofs inspected?
Because mountain weather can be harsher than in the valley, we recommend two inspections per year—once in spring after winter ice events and again in late fall before freezing temperatures set in. At a minimum, have your roof inspected after any major hail or windstorm and before a property sale or new insurance policy to document the roof’s condition.
Will you provide a written report and estimate after the inspection?
Yes. Within 24 hours you’ll receive a digital report that includes annotated photos, condition grades for every roof component, a prioritized repair list, and an estimate for any recommended work. The report meets insurance carrier and real-estate disclosure standards, making it easy to share with adjusters, buyers, or lenders.
Can a roof inspection help with insurance claims or real estate transactions?
Absolutely. Insurers often require proof of routine maintenance before approving storm-damage claims, and our certified report serves as that documentation. For real estate transactions, a recent inspection reassures buyers, may speed up closing, and can even strengthen your negotiating position by removing uncertainty about the roof’s remaining life expectancy.
