FAQs
What does your free roof inspection in Pelham include?
Our complimentary inspection begins with a full visual survey of shingles, flashing, vents, skylights, chimneys, and gutters. We check for missing or curled shingles, nail pops, granule loss, soft decking, moisture intrusion, and storm-related impacts such as hail bruising or wind uplift. Inside the attic, we look for water stains, mold, and insulation issues. Afterward, you receive a written report with photos, a condition grade, and recommendations—whether that means simple maintenance, repair, or no action at all.
How do I schedule a free inspection, and how soon can you come out?
You can book an inspection by calling our local Pelham office, completing the online form, or sending us a message through social media. Because we operate multiple crews in Shelby County, we can usually be on-site within 24–48 hours, and same-day appointments are often available after large storms. Our scheduler confirms a two-hour arrival window and sends a reminder text 30 minutes before our technician arrives.
How long does a typical roof inspection take?
Most single-family homes in Pelham take 30–45 minutes to inspect thoroughly. Larger or more complex roofs—such as multi-story homes, steep pitches, or those with extensive valleys and dormers—may require up to 90 minutes. We spend extra time documenting every finding so you have an accurate record for personal reference or insurance purposes.
Why is it important to get my roof inspected after a storm even if I don’t see damage?
Pelham’s spring hail and summer pop-up thunderstorms can create damage that isn’t visible from the ground. Hail impacts can bruise shingles, shortening their lifespan, while high winds can loosen flashing that later leads to leaks. Because insurance carriers often impose a time limit (typically 6–12 months) for filing storm-damage claims, identifying issues quickly protects both your home and your eligibility for coverage. Our free inspection costs you nothing and provides peace of mind.
Will I be pressured to purchase a repair or replacement after the inspection?
Absolutely not. The inspection is 100 % obligation-free. If we find your roof is in good shape, we’ll happily document that result and schedule your next routine checkup. If repairs or replacement are recommended, you’ll receive transparent pricing in writing and time to decide. Many Pelham homeowners call us back months later because they appreciate the no-pressure approach.
Can you assist with insurance claims if damage is discovered?
Yes. We work with all major insurers operating in Alabama. If the inspection reveals storm-related damage, we can meet your adjuster on-site, provide photographic evidence, and help compile the paperwork insurers require (scope sheets, itemized estimates, and code-compliance notes). Our familiarity with Pelham building codes and permit processes streamlines approvals and helps you maximize your entitled benefits.
