FAQs
Why is a regular roof health inspection important in New Tazewell?
New Tazewell’s mix of hot, humid summers, heavy spring rain, and the occasional winter ice or hail storm puts continual stress on roofing systems. A professional inspection spots loose shingles, small leaks, and flashing issues before they escalate into costly structural damage, mold growth, or interior ceiling stains. Early detection also extends the life of your roof and protects your home’s resale value.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection?
For most homes, we recommend a full roof health inspection at least once a year—typically in the fall, after summer heat and storms have passed. However, schedule an additional inspection after any major weather event (high-wind thunderstorm, hail, or ice) or if you notice signs like missing shingles, granule buildup in gutters, or unexplained attic moisture.
What does your roof health inspection include?
Our certified technicians perform a 25-point assessment covering: 1) shingle or metal panel condition, 2) flashing, vents, and chimney seals, 3) gutter and downspout alignment, 4) attic ventilation and insulation levels, 5) moisture intrusion using infrared scanning, 6) decking integrity, and 7) fascia and soffit health. You receive a photo-documented report, a maintenance checklist, and repair or replacement recommendations with transparent pricing.
How long does a typical inspection take and will it disrupt my day?
A standard single-family roof inspection in New Tazewell takes about 60–90 minutes. Our team arrives on time, uses ladder stabilizers to avoid landscaping damage, and limits attic access to one technician to keep indoor disruption minimal. You do not need to be on the roof with us; we review findings with you afterward, either in person or via video call.
Can a roof health inspection lower my homeowner’s insurance premiums?
Many insurers offer discounts for documented preventive maintenance. By providing our detailed inspection report (showing a well-maintained roof with no active leaks), you demonstrate reduced risk to the carrier, which can translate into lower premiums or preferred policy terms. Ask your agent about ‘proof-of-condition’ or ‘roof certification’ credits available in Tennessee.
What happens if your inspection uncovers damage?
If we find issues, you’ll receive a prioritized repair plan—urgent, medium-term, and preventive items—complete with photos and cost estimates. Minor repairs, such as resealing a vent boot or replacing a few shingles, can often be completed the same day with your approval. For larger repairs or full replacement, we help with insurance claims, provide material samples, and schedule the work at a time that suits you, keeping your home protected throughout the process.
