FAQs
Why should I have a licensed inspector perform a roof inspection in Pikeville?
A licensed inspector brings formal training, state-recognized credentials, and liability insurance to every job. This ensures your roof is evaluated to current Kentucky building codes, manufacturer specifications, and local Pikeville weather challenges such as high rainfall and freeze–thaw cycles. An unlicensed or DIY inspection can miss early warning signs, potentially void warranties, and leave you without legal recourse if problems are overlooked.
How often should my roof be inspected?
For most homes and light-commercial buildings in Pikeville, we recommend a professional inspection at least once a year—preferably in the spring after winter snow and ice—but also after any severe storm that includes hail or high winds. Annual visits allow us to catch minor issues like lifted shingles, nail pops, or flashing gaps before they become leaks that can damage insulation, drywall, and electrical systems.
What does your roof inspection cover?
Our licensed inspectors follow a 50-point checklist that includes: exterior shingle, metal, or membrane condition; flashing, drip edge, and gutter integrity; chimney, vent, and skylight seals; roof decking moisture readings; attic ventilation and insulation review; and structural elements such as trusses or rafters. We document findings with high-resolution photos, infrared images when warranted, and a written report that assigns a condition grade and repair priority to each component.
How much does a professional roof inspection cost in Pikeville?
A standard single-family residential roof inspection typically ranges from $150 to $250, depending on roof complexity, pitch, and size. Steeper slopes, multi-level designs, or the need for drone or infrared technology may add a modest surcharge. If you proceed with recommended repairs through our company, we credit the full inspection fee toward the project cost.
Will the inspection report help with insurance claims or real-estate transactions?
Yes. Our inspection reports meet or exceed insurance company documentation requirements and Kentucky real-estate disclosure standards. Each report includes date-stamped photos, material condition ratings, estimated remaining service life, and a summary of code-required repairs. Clients have successfully used our reports to expedite storm-damage claims, negotiate purchase prices, and secure lender approvals.
How do I schedule an inspection and how long will it take?
Scheduling is simple: call our Pikeville office or use the online booking form to choose a preferred date and time. We can usually accommodate appointments within 48 hours. An on-site inspection of an average 2,000-sq-ft roof takes 60–90 minutes. The digital report is emailed within 24 hours, along with a no-obligation estimate for any corrective work.
