FAQs
What does a certified roof inspection in Madisonville include?
Our certified inspectors follow a detailed checklist that covers every component of your roofing system. We examine shingles or other surface materials for wear, cracking, and granule loss; flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys for rust or gaps; gutters and downspouts for proper attachment and drainage; attic ventilation and insulation levels; decking for moisture intrusion; and structural elements such as rafters and trusses for sagging or rot. You receive a written report with photos, recommendations, and an overall condition grade.
Why should I hire a certified inspector instead of a general contractor or handyman?
Certified roof inspectors have undergone rigorous training, passed industry exams, and stay current with code changes and manufacturer specifications. They carry specialized tools like infrared cameras and moisture meters that most general contractors do not use. This expertise allows them to identify hidden issues, document findings in a format accepted by insurers, and provide unbiased recommendations—saving you money and preventing future problems.
How often should my Madisonville roof be inspected?
For most asphalt-shingle or metal roofs in western Kentucky, we recommend a professional inspection at least once every two years, plus an additional inspection after any major hail, wind, or ice event. Older roofs (15+ years) or those with heavy tree cover should be checked annually to catch small leaks and prevent costly structural damage.
What does a roof inspection cost, and is the fee waived if repairs are needed?
A standard residential inspection in the Madisonville area ranges from $150 to $250, depending on roof size and pitch. If you proceed with our recommended repairs or replacement, we credit the full inspection fee toward the project cost. Commercial property inspections are quoted individually based on square footage and accessibility.
Can an inspection help with my storm-damage insurance claim?
Yes. Our certified inspectors are trained to document storm damage in the format preferred by most major insurers. We provide high-resolution photos, a damage map, and a written summary that links each observed defect to the specific storm event. This documentation can expedite your claim, reduce the need for a second adjuster visit, and improve your chances of receiving a fair settlement.
How do I schedule, and how long will the inspection take?
Call our office or book online to choose a convenient date. Most residential inspections take 60–90 minutes on site, and you receive your written report within 24 hours. For commercial roofs or complex structures, plan on two to three hours. We offer flexible scheduling, including early-morning and late-afternoon slots, to minimize disruption to your routine.
