FAQs
Why should I have a certified technician inspect my roof in Louisville?
Louisville’s hot summers, heavy spring rains, and frequent wind and hail events place exceptional stress on roofing systems. A certified technician has advanced training, manufacturer‐approved procedures, and Kentucky‐specific code knowledge to spot hidden damage, premature wear, and installation defects that an untrained eye could miss. Regular professional inspections protect your warranty, extend roof life, and reduce the risk of costly emergency repairs.
How often do experts recommend roof inspections for homes and businesses in Louisville?
Industry standards call for two scheduled inspections each year—once in the spring after winter freeze‐thaw cycles and once in the fall before cold weather returns. In addition, you should request an immediate inspection after any severe hail, wind, or tornado event, or if you notice leaks, missing shingles, or granule accumulation in gutters.
What does your certified technician check during a Louisville roof inspection?
Our team follows a 30-point checklist that covers: • Shingle or membrane condition (cracking, curling, punctures) • Flashing, chimneys, vents, and skylight seals • Roof decking integrity from the attic side • Signs of moisture intrusion, mold, or rot • Gutter alignment and downspout discharge • Proper ventilation and insulation levels • Fastener tightness and rust We document findings with high-resolution photos and thermal imaging (when needed) and grade each component so you know what is sound, marginal, or needs repair.
Can a professional roof inspection help with an insurance claim after storm damage?
Yes. Our certified technicians are trained in storm‐damage assessment and familiar with major insurers’ documentation requirements. We provide: • A written, itemized damage report • Date‐stamped photographic evidence • Repair or replacement estimates that reflect local code and material pricing Submitting this accurate, third-party evaluation often speeds claim approval and ensures you receive the full compensation you’re entitled to.
How long does a roof inspection take, and what will I receive afterward?
Most residential inspections take 45–60 minutes; larger commercial roofs may require 1–2 hours. Within 24 hours you receive a digital report that includes: • Summary of overall roof health (Good / Monitor / Action Required) • Annotated photos highlighting issues • Recommended repairs with projected costs and timelines • Maintenance tips specific to Louisville’s climate We review the report with you in person or via video call so all your questions are answered.
Do you charge for roof inspections in Louisville, and what happens if problems are found?
We provide complimentary inspections within Jefferson County for homeowners and property managers. Commercial roofs and properties outside the metro area may incur a small fee that is credited toward any approved repair work. If we discover issues, you’ll receive transparent, no-pressure repair options, manufacturer-matched materials, and written warranties. You decide whether and when to proceed—there’s no obligation.
