FAQs
Why are certified roof inspections important in Palmer’s climate?
Palmer experiences wide temperature swings, heavy snowfall, strong winds, and intense UV exposure during long summer days. These conditions accelerate shingle aging, loosen fasteners, and stress flashing and seams. A certified inspection identifies weather-related damage early, helping you avoid leaks, mold, costly structural repairs, and premature roof replacement.
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection?
We recommend two inspections each year—once in spring after freeze-thaw cycles and again in fall before winter storms arrive. You should also book an inspection after any major wind, hail, or heavy snow event. Regular check-ups maintain warranty compliance and keep small issues from becoming major expenses.
What does your certified roof inspection include?
Our inspectors are manufacturer-approved and Haag-certified. We examine shingles or metal panels, flashing, fasteners, gutters, skylights, vents, attic ventilation, and insulation. Using moisture meters, infrared cameras, and drones, we document hidden leaks and heat loss. You receive a detailed digital report with photos, condition grades, and prioritized repair recommendations.
Will the inspection report satisfy insurance or real-estate requirements?
Yes. Because our inspectors hold national certifications and carry proper Alaska licensure, our reports meet or exceed insurer underwriting standards and home-sale disclosure laws. We include roof age, remaining service life, and repair cost estimates—information lenders, buyers, and insurance adjusters require.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and will it disrupt my day?
Most single-family homes take 60–90 minutes. Larger or complex roofs may take up to 3 hours. We access the roof externally and the attic from a ceiling hatch, so interior disruption is minimal. You can stay home or receive the report electronically if you’re at work.
What happens if the inspection uncovers damage?
Your report will list issues by urgency. Minor maintenance (e.g., resealing protrusions) can often be completed same-day with your approval. For larger repairs or replacement, we provide a written estimate, photos for insurance claims, and help you file paperwork. You’re under no obligation to hire us for repair work, but our team is available if you choose to proceed.
