FAQs
What is a thorough diagnostic roofing inspection and why is it important for homes and businesses in Luttrell?
A thorough diagnostic roofing inspection is a comprehensive, step-by-step evaluation of every component of your roof—shingles or metal panels, flashing, decking, ventilation, gutters, and attic structure. In Luttrell’s mix of hot summers, heavy rains, and occasional winter ice, hidden moisture or storm damage can quickly escalate into leaks, mold, and structural decay. An in-depth inspection identifies small issues before they become major repairs, extends the service life of the roof, and documents current conditions for insurance or resale purposes.
How often should I schedule a diagnostic roof inspection in the Luttrell area?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring or fall when weather is mild and before the peak storm seasons. You should also schedule an inspection after any severe weather event—high winds, hail, or heavy snow—because storm damage is not always visible from the ground. Regular inspections allow us to spot early signs of wear and perform targeted repairs that are far less costly than a full roof replacement.
What does your inspection include and what methods do you use?
Our certified technicians start with a visual assessment from the ground and rooftop, then move to hands-on checks of shingles, seams, flashing, and fasteners. We use moisture meters to detect trapped water, infrared scanning to locate hidden heat loss or damp spots, and drone imaging for hard-to-reach valleys and steep slopes. Inside the attic, we examine decking, insulation, and ventilation. You receive a detailed photo report outlining current conditions, recommended repairs, and maintenance tips.
How long will the inspection take and what does it cost?
Most single-family homes in Luttrell take 60–90 minutes to inspect; larger or multi-level roofs can take up to three hours. You will have the full written report in hand within 24 hours. Our standard diagnostic inspection starts at $149, which is credited toward any repair work we perform within 90 days. Commercial or complex roofs are quoted individually after a brief phone assessment.
What happens if the inspection reveals problems—do you handle the repairs too?
Yes. Once the inspection is complete, we review the findings with you, prioritize any issues by urgency, and provide a transparent, line-item estimate for repairs. Whether it’s replacing damaged shingles, resealing flashing, correcting ventilation, or performing partial re-decking, our licensed crew can usually schedule repairs within 5–7 business days. All work is backed by manufacturer warranties and our own workmanship guarantee.
Are you licensed and insured, and can you help with insurance claims for storm damage?
Absolutely. We are fully licensed to operate in Tennessee, carry $2 million in general liability insurance, and maintain workers’ compensation coverage for every employee. If hail or wind damage is documented during your inspection, we supply the photographic evidence and detailed report you need to file an insurance claim. At your request, we can meet your adjuster on-site to ensure the scope of damage is accurately assessed and that you receive the compensation required to restore your roof properly.
