FAQs
Why should homeowners in Ooltewah schedule a professional roof inspection?
Tennessee’s mix of hot summers, heavy spring storms, and occasional winter freezes can shorten the life of any roofing system. A professional inspection identifies storm damage, hidden leaks, poor ventilation, and installation flaws before they turn into costly repairs. In many cases we uncover issues that can still be covered by manufacturer or insurance warranties, saving homeowners thousands of dollars.
What will Easy-to-Read Reports Roofing look for during an inspection and what does the report include?
Our certified inspector evaluates shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, decking, attic insulation, and structural components. We photograph every area we assess and note the roof’s age, remaining service life, and any safety concerns. Within 24 hours you receive a digital, plain-language report that includes annotated photos, a condition rating (Good, Fair, Poor, or Failing), repair or replacement recommendations, and an estimate for any work that’s needed. The document is formatted so that homeowners, real-estate agents, and insurance adjusters can all understand it at a glance.
How often should my roof be inspected in the Ooltewah climate?
For composite-shingle roofs we recommend a full inspection every two years, plus an additional check after any hail or wind event producing gusts over 45 mph. Metal and tile roofs typically need to be inspected every three years. New homebuyers, sellers, and anyone who has just installed a new roof should schedule a baseline inspection so future changes can be measured accurately.
How much does a roof inspection cost and will the fee be waived if I proceed with repairs?
A standard single-family roof inspection in Ooltewah costs $149. The fee covers on-site evaluation, high-resolution drone imaging (when conditions allow), and the written report. If you hire us to perform $750 or more in recommended repairs within 90 days, we credit the full inspection fee toward your final invoice—effectively making the inspection free.
How long does the inspection and delivery of the written report take?
The on-site inspection of an average 2,000-sq-ft home takes about 60–90 minutes. Larger or more complex roofs may require up to two hours. Because we upload photos and notes directly from the field, most clients receive their completed PDF report in their email inbox the same evening and always within 24 hours.
Can your inspection report help with an insurance claim or real-estate transaction?
Yes. Our reports are formatted to meet the documentation standards preferred by major insurance carriers and local mortgage lenders. Each issue is time-stamped, photographed, and referenced to specific roof sections, making it easier for adjusters to approve legitimate storm-damage claims. Realtors and homebuyers use our clear grading system to negotiate repairs or price adjustments with confidence.
