FAQs
Why should I schedule a roof inspection with a certified inspector in Pigeon Forge?
Certified inspectors are trained to identify issues that untrained eyes miss—such as hidden moisture, hail bruising, or early shingle failure—while ensuring your roof complies with Tennessee building codes. In Pigeon Forge, roofs face high UV exposure, strong winds, and occasional heavy snow; a certified inspection helps catch problems early, extends roof life, and protects your home’s resale and insurance value.
What does a certified roof inspection include?
Our inspectors follow NRCA and HAAG Engineering guidelines. They examine shingles, flashing, vents, decking, gutters, attic ventilation, and insulation. We look for storm damage, granule loss, improper installations, and structural movement. Digital photos, thermal imaging, and drone footage document every finding, and you receive a detailed written report with repair recommendations and cost estimates.
How often should my roof be inspected in Pigeon Forge’s climate?
The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends at least one professional inspection every year. Because Pigeon Forge experiences frequent summer storms and freeze-thaw cycles in winter, we advise an inspection every spring or fall and immediately after any severe weather event (hail, high wind, or heavy snow) to catch storm-related damage before it escalates.
Can a certified inspection help with my insurance claim after storm damage?
Yes. Insurance carriers often require documented proof of damage from a qualified professional. Our certified reports include date-stamped photos, damage measurements, and repair estimates that meet insurer standards. We can also meet your adjuster on-site, explain technical findings, and help you navigate policy language to maximize claim approval.
How long does a typical roof inspection take, and will it damage my roof?
Most single-family home inspections take 45–90 minutes, depending on roof size and complexity. We use non-invasive methods—boots with soft soles, drones, and moisture scanners—so your roofing materials are not harmed. You can remain inside your home during the process, and no cleanup is required afterward.
What happens if the inspector finds problems with my roof?
You’ll receive a prioritized list of issues, from urgent leaks to minor maintenance items, along with photos and estimated repair costs. We review the report with you, explain each option, and, if requested, provide a written proposal for repairs or replacement. You’re under no obligation to hire us for the work, but choosing the same certified team ensures continuity and that repairs meet manufacturer warranty requirements.
