FAQs
Why is a professional roof inspection important for Lookout Mountain homes?
At 2,000–3,000 feet above sea level, Lookout Mountain is exposed to stronger UV radiation, sudden temperature swings, and high-velocity winds that can loosen shingles or seams. A certified inspection catches storm, hail, and wind damage early, before it lets water reach the decking or living space. Our trained technicians look for issues the untrained eye usually misses—granule loss, micro-cracks, lifted flashing—helping you extend roof life and preserve your home’s value.
What does your “easy-to-read” inspection report include?
You receive a PDF and web link that summarize key findings on one overview page and then expand into detail. Each section—shingles, flashing, valleys, penetrations, ventilation, gutters—gets a green (good), yellow (monitor), or red (repair) status icon. High-resolution photos, drone images, and moisture-meter readings are embedded next to every note, so you see exactly what we saw. The report ends with prioritized repair recommendations, estimated life expectancy, and a maintenance checklist you can share with insurance agents or real-estate buyers.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Lookout Mountain’s climate?
For asphalt-shingle and metal roofs we recommend a full inspection every 18–24 months, plus an extra check after any hailstorm, wind event over 50 mph, or heavy snow/ice load. Because mountain weather can change quickly, catching minor damage within the first year can prevent leaks that cost thousands of dollars later.
How much does a residential roof inspection cost and what affects the price?
Standard single-family inspections start at $179. Price can vary with roof size, pitch, accessibility, and whether you want optional infrared moisture scanning or drone mapping. We provide a firm quote up front; there are no hidden fees, and the cost is fully credited toward any repair work we perform within 90 days.
Can you perform inspections for insurance or real-estate transactions?
Yes. Our inspectors are HAAG-certified and follow NRCA guidelines accepted by major insurers and lenders. We tailor the report to the documentation standards required by State Farm, USAA, FHA, VA, and local building authorities, making claims or closings faster and smoother.
What happens if the inspection finds damage—do I have to commit to repairs with your company?
Not at all. The inspection is a stand-alone service. The report is yours to keep and share with any contractor. If you choose us for repairs, we’ll waive the inspection fee up to $179 and schedule work within 7 business days. If you prefer another roofer, our findings still give you a clear roadmap for the necessary work.
