FAQs
Why should I schedule a certified roof inspection instead of doing a visual check myself?
A certified inspection goes far beyond a quick look from the ground. Our Luttrell-based inspectors are trained to identify subtle signs of damage, premature aging, moisture intrusion, and installation errors that homeowners often miss. We perform a documented, point-by-point evaluation of shingles, flashing, vents, decking, attic ventilation, and structural components. This professional assessment not only protects your safety—because we use proper fall-protection and equipment— but also provides an unbiased report you can use for insurance, warranty, or real-estate purposes.
What does your certified roof inspection in Luttrell include?
Every inspection follows the standards set by the National Roof Certification & Inspection Association (NRCIA). We begin with an exterior walk-around to check fascia, soffits, gutters, and downspouts. Next, we perform an on-roof examination of shingles or metal panels, fasteners, flashing, pipe boots, chimneys, skylights, and ridge caps. Inside the attic, we evaluate insulation depth, ventilation, signs of leaks or mold, and structural integrity. You receive a comprehensive digital report with photos, condition grades, life-expectancy estimates, and recommended maintenance or repairs.
How often should a roof in Luttrell be professionally inspected?
For most asphalt-shingle and metal roofs in East Tennessee, we recommend a certified inspection at least once every two years, plus an additional check after any severe weather event such as hail, straight-line winds, or heavy ice. Aging roofs (15+ years) or roofs under manufacturer warranties may require annual inspections to keep warranties valid. Regular inspections catch minor issues early, extending the roof’s service life and reducing long-term repair costs.
How much does a roof inspection cost, and do you offer free estimates?
A standard single-family roof inspection in Luttrell typically ranges from $149 to $249, depending on roof size, pitch, and accessibility. Multi-family or commercial structures are quoted individually. If the inspection identifies repair needs, we provide a no-obligation, same-day estimate at no additional charge. For real-estate transactions, we also offer Roof Certification Letters that lenders often require; these are priced separately and include a 2-year leak-free guarantee when repairs are completed to our specifications.
Can a certified inspection help with insurance claims after storm damage?
Yes. Insurance carriers rely on objective documentation to validate storm damage. Our certified inspectors photograph and annotate each damaged component, note hail bruising patterns, measure wind-lifted shingles, and record moisture readings. We generate an inspection report formatted for adjusters, and—if requested—meet your adjuster on-site to explain our findings. This professional documentation greatly improves the likelihood of a fair settlement and speeds up the claim process.
What happens if your inspectors find problems—do I have to repair with your company?
No. The inspection and the repair contract are completely separate. After receiving your report and estimate, you’re free to compare quotes or handle minor maintenance yourself. If you do choose us, the inspection fee is credited toward the repair cost, and all work is performed by licensed, insured crews who follow Tennessee building codes and manufacturer specifications. Either way, you keep the full inspection report for your records.
