FAQs
Why is a certified roof inspection important in Ooltewah?
Ooltewah’s mix of humid summers, heavy rainfall, and the occasional severe storm can shorten a roof’s service life. A certified roof inspection helps identify hidden leaks, storm damage, or premature wear before they evolve into costly repairs. Because our inspectors meet manufacturer and state certification standards, homeowners, buyers, and insurers can trust that our findings are accurate, unbiased, and compliant with local building codes.
What does your certified roof inspection include?
Our inspection is a multi-point assessment that covers: • Exterior evaluation—shingle or panel condition, flashing integrity, chimney caps, skylights, and gutter systems. • Structural check—decking, rafters, trusses, and attic ventilation. • Interior review—attic insulation, moisture intrusion, and any signs of mold or rot. • Infrared scan—optional thermal imaging detects trapped moisture not visible to the eye. • Detailed photo report—delivered digitally with maintenance recommendations, repair estimates, and a life-expectancy forecast.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection in Ooltewah?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once every two years for asphalt shingles and once a year for metal roofs or older systems. Additional inspections are advisable after hail, high winds over 45 mph, or if you notice missing shingles, ceiling stains, or granules in gutters. Regular inspections help preserve warranties and comply with most insurance policies.
Can a roof inspection help with insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes. Our certified inspectors document storm-related damage with time-stamped photos, written descriptions, and moisture readings that satisfy carrier requirements. We’ll meet your adjuster on-site to explain findings and supply the paperwork needed to expedite your claim, often improving the settlement amount and reducing disputes.
What certifications and training do your Ooltewah roof inspectors hold?
Each inspector carries OSHA safety certification, Haag Residential Roof Inspector credentials, and manufacturer-specific training from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. They also complete annual continuing-education courses on Tennessee building codes, wind/hail assessment, and infrared moisture detection, ensuring your inspection meets the highest professional standards.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and how soon will I receive the report?
Most single-family homes require 60–90 minutes on site, depending on roof complexity and accessibility. Commercial or steep-sloped roofs may take longer. You’ll receive a comprehensive digital report—complete with photos, diagrams, and prioritized recommendations—within 24 hours. For real-estate transactions, same-day turnaround is available upon request.
