FAQs
How often should I schedule a routine roof inspection in Old Fort?
Because of the area’s hot, humid summers and occasional severe storms, we recommend a professional inspection at least twice a year—once in the spring after winter weather and once in the fall before freezing temperatures return. In addition, schedule an extra inspection after any hail, high-wind, or heavy rain event to catch storm damage early.
What does “Roofing Done Right” mean during a routine inspection?
Our Roofing Done Right process is a 35-point evaluation that covers shingles or other roof coverings, flashing, underlayment, ventilation, gutters, attic insulation, and structural components. We document every finding with photos, provide a written condition report, and discuss repair or maintenance options with you on the spot so you can make an informed decision.
Why is a routine inspection important if my roof looks fine from the ground?
Many roof problems—loose flashing, small punctures, early shingle granule loss—aren’t visible from street level. Left unchecked, these minor issues allow water to penetrate decking and insulation, leading to costly interior damage, mold, and premature roof failure. A professional inspection catches hidden problems early, extending the roof’s lifespan and protecting your home’s value.
How much does a routine roof inspection cost in Old Fort?
For most single-family homes under 3,000 square feet, our standard inspection is $149. This fee includes the full 35-point checklist, moisture readings, digital photos, and a same-day report. If repairs are required and you hire us to complete them, we credit the inspection fee toward the repair cost.
What are the signs that I should schedule an inspection sooner than the recommended twice-a-year routine?
Call us right away if you notice any of the following: missing, curled, or cracked shingles; granules in gutters or downspouts; water stains on ceilings or walls; musty attic odors; sagging rooflines; unusually high energy bills; or if your neighbors are replacing roofs of similar age and construction. These red flags may indicate developing issues that need prompt attention.
Do I need to do anything to prepare for the inspection?
Please ensure we have clear access to your driveway, attic entry, and any gates. Remove fragile items from attic walkways, secure pets, and let us know about known leaks or previous repairs. We handle all ladder work and safety precautions—no rooftop access is required from the homeowner.
