FAQs
How can I tell if my Maryville home has loose shingles?
Look for shingles that appear lifted, curled, or missing granules, especially after one of Maryville’s frequent spring storms. From the ground you might spot uneven lines on the roof, exposed nail heads, or shingles that flap in the wind. Inside the attic, daylight peeking through the decking or damp insulation can also signal shingle movement. Because walking on the roof can worsen the problem and be dangerous, we recommend scheduling a professional inspection if you notice any of these signs.
Why are loose shingles a serious issue for my roof?
Loose shingles expose the underlayment and roof deck to moisture. In Maryville’s humid climate, even a small gap can let in rain that leads to wood rot, mold growth, and interior leaks. Over time, the wind can catch an unsecured shingle, rip it off, and create a domino effect that damages surrounding shingles. Addressing loose shingles early costs far less than repairing structural damage or replacing insulation, drywall, and personal belongings after a leak.
How often should I schedule roof inspections in Maryville?
We recommend having your roof professionally inspected at least once a year, ideally in the spring or early fall when temperatures are mild. In addition, book an inspection after severe weather, such as high-wind thunderstorms or hail events common in Blount County. Regular inspections catch loose shingles and other minor issues before they become costly repairs, prolonging the life of your roof by 5–10 years on average.
What does your loose-shingle roof inspection include?
Our certified technicians perform a comprehensive 15-point assessment. We check for missing, cracked, or uplifted shingles; examine flashing around chimneys, skylights, and valleys; test the integrity of ridge caps; inspect gutters for excess granules; and look for soft spots in the decking. Inside your attic we measure moisture levels, inspect ventilation, and photograph any daylight penetration. You receive a detailed digital report with photos, a condition rating, and repair recommendations within 24 hours.
Can loose shingles be repaired, or will I need a full roof replacement?
In most cases, loose shingles can be re-secured or replaced individually, especially if the roof is under 15 years old and the damage is localized. We match replacement shingles to your current color and manufacturer to maintain curb appeal. However, if an inspection reveals widespread shingle failure, significant granule loss, or deck rot, a partial or full replacement may be more cost-effective. We’ll present all options and help you compare repair vs. replacement costs, expected lifespan, and warranty coverage.
How much does a loose-shingle roof inspection cost in Maryville?
Our standard residential roof inspection starts at $129 for homes up to 3,000 square feet within the Maryville city limits. The fee covers the on-site assessment, attic evaluation, photo documentation, and written report. If we perform recommended repairs within 30 days, we apply the inspection fee toward the repair cost, effectively making the inspection free. Senior, military, and first-responder discounts are available—just let us know when you schedule your appointment.
