FAQs
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Lookout Mountain?
Because Lookout Mountain experiences heavy rain, high winds, and occasional hail, we recommend having your roof inspected twice a year—once in the spring after winter weather and again in the fall before the stormy season. If your home has older shingles or has recently endured a severe storm, schedule an additional inspection right away to catch damage before it spreads.
What specific issues do your inspectors look for on Lookout Mountain homes?
Our certified technicians examine every roofing component, including shingles or metal panels, flashing, fasteners, gutters, and ventilation systems. We look for wind-lifted shingles, hail bruising, rust on metal roofs, moisture intrusion at chimneys and skylights, clogged or damaged gutters, and signs of rot or mold in the decking and attic—issues that are common in the mountain’s humid, elevated climate.
Are drone or infrared inspections available for steep or hard-to-reach roofs?
Yes. Many Lookout Mountain homes feature steep pitches or multilevel designs that can be dangerous to access. We deploy high-resolution drones for aerial photography and FLIR infrared cameras to detect hidden moisture and insulation gaps. These technologies let us see 100% of your roof surface safely while producing images you can review in your inspection report.
Will a roof inspection help me with an insurance claim after a storm?
Absolutely. Our inspectors document storm damage with time-stamped photos, written descriptions, and a repair estimate that aligns with insurance-industry Xactimate pricing. This detailed report gives adjusters the evidence they need to process your claim quickly and helps you receive fair compensation for covered repairs or replacement.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and will you need to enter my attic?
Most single-family inspections take 60–90 minutes, depending on roof size and complexity. Accessing the attic or crawl space is important because many leaks first appear under the decking. We look for water stains, daylight gaps, and proper insulation depth. If attic access is impossible, we use infrared scans to compensate.
What does your post-inspection report include and how soon will I receive it?
Within 24 hours you’ll receive a digital report that includes a condition summary, annotated photos, a maintenance checklist, and prioritized repair recommendations. If repairs are needed, we attach a transparent quote and projected timeline. The report can be shared electronically with real-estate agents, insurance adjusters, or prospective buyers.
