FAQs
Why should I schedule a certified roof inspection in Monteagle?
Monteagle sits on the Cumberland Plateau, where roofs are exposed to strong winds, heavy rains, occasional hail, and wide temperature swings. A certified inspection identifies storm damage, aging materials, and hidden leaks before they cause costly interior problems. It also documents your roof’s current condition, which can be invaluable for insurance claims or when selling your home.
How often should my roof be inspected?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring or early fall. You should also arrange an inspection after any major weather event—such as high-wind thunderstorms, hail, or ice storms—that could compromise shingles or flashing. Newly installed roofs benefit from periodic check-ups to maintain manufacturer warranties, while roofs over 10 years old may need semi-annual reviews.
What does your certified roof inspection include?
Our inspector starts with a ground-level visual review, then safely accesses the roof to examine shingles, tiles, or metal panels; flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents; gutter systems; and roof penetrations such as plumbing stacks. Inside, we check attic ventilation, insulation levels, and signs of moisture intrusion or mold. You’ll receive a detailed digital report with high-resolution photos, a life-expectancy estimate, and clear repair or maintenance recommendations.
How long does a roof inspection take and what does it cost?
A typical single-family home in Monteagle takes 60–90 minutes to inspect, depending on roof size, slope, and accessibility. Most inspections cost between $150 and $250. We waive the fee when you hire us for any recommended repair over $1,000, and we provide free estimates if the inspection uncovers issues that need attention.
Can a roof inspection help with insurance claims or real estate transactions?
Absolutely. A pre-storm inspection establishes a documented condition baseline that simplifies insurance claims if your roof is later damaged. Insurers often process claims faster when a certified report with photos is available. For home buyers and sellers, our inspection satisfies FHA, VA, and conventional loan requirements and can reveal issues that affect negotiation, appraisal values, or closing timelines.
What happens if the inspection finds damage or wear?
You’ll receive an itemized repair plan with projected costs, material options, and timelines. For urgent problems, we can provide temporary tarping or patching the same day to prevent further water intrusion. Our team will guide you through filing an insurance claim if coverage applies, meet with adjusters on-site, and schedule permanent repairs or a full replacement if necessary—all backed by manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
