FAQs
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Lookout Mountain?
Because Lookout Mountain sees intense sun, sudden temperature swings, high winds, and periodic hail, we recommend a full professional inspection at least once a year—ideally every spring after winter weather has passed. You should also arrange an additional inspection after any major storm or if you notice leaks, missing shingles, or debris on the roof.
What does your “thorough roof inspection” include?
Our certified technicians perform a 50-point assessment. We examine shingles or other coverings for cracks, granule loss, and uplift; check flashing, valleys, ridges, pipe boots, and chimney caps for gaps or rust; look for soft decking or sagging; inspect attic ventilation, insulation, and moisture levels; photograph all findings; and create a written report with repair recommendations and cost estimates.
How long will the inspection take and do I need to be home?
Most residential inspections take 60–90 minutes. Complex roofs, multi-level structures, or hard-to-reach slopes may require additional time. You don’t have to be home for the exterior portion, but we do ask that someone grant attic access if you’d like an interior assessment. Either way, you’ll receive a digital report with photos the same day.
Will an inspection help with my insurance claim after hail or wind damage?
Absolutely. Our inspectors are trained in storm-damage identification and documentation accepted by major insurers. We provide date-stamped photos, detailed descriptions, and an itemized repair scope you can submit with your claim. If needed, we can meet your adjuster on-site to ensure nothing is overlooked.
How much does a roof inspection cost in the Lookout Mountain area?
A stand-alone inspection costs $149 for most single-family homes within 25 miles of Lookout Mountain. This fee is waived if you hire us to perform recommended repairs exceeding $750 within 60 days. Commercial or large estate properties are quoted individually after a brief phone consultation.
What are the benefits of regular inspections compared with waiting until I see a leak?
Routine inspections catch small issues—loose shingles, minor flashing gaps, early wood rot—before they evolve into costly leaks or structural damage. In Lookout Mountain’s high-altitude climate, UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycles can accelerate deterioration. Preventive inspections extend roof life by 5–10 years on average, help you budget for future replacement, maintain manufacturer warranties, and preserve property value.
