FAQs
Why are routine roof inspections so important for Loudon homeowners?
Loudon’s mix of hot, humid summers, occasional hailstorms, and winter freeze-thaw cycles can accelerate shingle deterioration, loosen flashing, and open small leaks. A professional inspection spots early warning signs before water reaches the decking or interior ceilings, saving you from costly structural repairs, mold remediation, and premature roof replacement. In short, an annual inspection is inexpensive insurance against Loudon’s challenging climate.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Loudon?
We recommend a full professional inspection at least once per year, ideally in spring or early fall. Schedule an additional inspection after any severe weather event such as hail, high winds over 50 mph, or heavy ice accumulation. If your roof is over 15 years old, consider semi-annual check-ups because older materials degrade faster in East Tennessee’s temperature swings.
What does your Loudon roof inspection include?
Our NRCA-trained inspectors perform a 50-point assessment. On the exterior we examine shingles, tiles or metal panels for cracks, granule loss and uplift, check flashing, penetrations, chimney caps, gutters, downspouts and ventilation systems, and scan for hail impacts with chalk. Inside the attic we measure insulation depth, look for moisture stains, mold, and proper airflow. We finish with infrared imaging to detect hidden leaks and provide a photo-documented report, a condition grade (A–F), and a prioritized repair or maintenance plan.
Can your inspection help with an insurance claim for storm or hail damage?
Yes. Our inspectors are HAAG-certified for residential roofs and use the same damage classification standards most insurers rely on. We document size, density, and distribution of hail hits, wind creasing, and lifted fasteners, then compile a detailed report with date-stamped photos and moisture readings. You can submit this packet directly to your insurance adjuster to streamline the claims process and improve your chances of full coverage.
How long does the inspection take and what does it cost?
A standard single-family home in Loudon takes 60–90 minutes on site, plus another 30 minutes to prepare your digital report. Larger or multi-story roofs can require up to two hours. Our flat inspection fee is $149 for roofs up to 3,000 sq ft and $199 for larger structures. If you hire us to perform recommended repairs within 60 days, we credit the entire inspection fee toward the work.
Do I need to be home during the inspection, and will it damage my roof?
You do not have to be present; we just need safe roof access and permission to enter the attic if possible. Our team uses soft-soled shoes, ladder stabilizers, and fall-protection equipment to prevent scuffs or shingle damage. We can lock up when finished and email your full report. If you prefer to be on site, we’re happy to walk you through our findings in real time.
