FAQs
What does an "honest assessment" of my roof include?
Our assessments are designed to give you a 360-degree view of your roof’s condition. We perform a full exterior inspection of shingles or tiles, flashing, valleys, vents, skylights, and chimney caps; check gutter alignment and downspouts; and look for storm or UV damage using close-range photos and, when needed, drone imagery. Inside the attic we examine decking, insulation, ventilation, and use moisture meters to detect hidden leaks. You receive a written report with marked photos, a clear explanation of any issues, and straightforward recommendations—repair, maintenance, replacement, or simply a clean bill of health—along with transparent pricing for any work that may be required.
How often should I schedule a professional roof assessment in Ocoee?
Ocoee’s subtropical weather, intense summer storms, and occasional hurricanes make routine inspections important. We recommend a professional assessment every 12–18 months for newer roofs and after any significant hail or high-wind event. Roofs older than 15 years, or those with previous repairs, benefit from annual check-ups. Additional inspections are wise before listing your home for sale, after new solar panel installations, or if you notice sudden changes such as increased energy bills or ceiling stains.
What warning signs indicate I might need a roof inspection or repair?
Common red flags in Central Florida include missing, cracked, or curling shingles; loose or broken tiles; granule build-up in gutters; rusted flashing; soft spots or sagging along the roofline; and visible daylight or damp insulation in the attic. Indoors, look for water stains on ceilings or walls, bubbling paint, musty odors, or unexplained spikes in cooling costs. Because Ocoee’s high heat and humidity accelerate deterioration, even small issues can turn into major leaks quickly—schedule an assessment if you notice any of these symptoms.
Does your assessment include photos and documentation I can use for insurance claims?
Yes. Every inspection comes with high-resolution photographs, drone overviews when appropriate, thermal or moisture-meter readings, and a detailed PDF report that uses insurance-industry terminology. You’ll receive the report within 24 hours, and we can email it directly to your carrier or real-estate agent upon request. If you decide to file a claim, we can also meet your adjuster on site at no extra cost to ensure all damage is properly documented.
How long does a typical roof inspection take, and do I need to be home?
Most single-family homes in Ocoee require 45–90 minutes, depending on roof size, pitch, and accessibility. You do not have to be home as long as we have safe ladder access and your permission to enter the property; we’ll text you when we arrive and leave. If you prefer to be present, we’re happy to walk you through the findings on site and answer questions immediately after the inspection.
What does an honest assessment cost, and can the fee be applied to repairs?
Our standard assessment is $99 for homes up to 3,000 square feet within Ocoee city limits. This fee is credited 100% toward any repair or replacement work you authorize within 90 days. Emergency post-storm inspections are free when visible damage is present. There are no hidden charges—if we find your roof is in great shape, we’ll simply let you know and leave you with peace of mind.
