FAQs
Why are regular roof inspections important in Powell’s climate?
Powell and the greater Knoxville area experience hot, humid summers, sudden thunderstorms, hail, and the occasional winter freeze. These rapid weather swings can loosen shingles, break seals, and open small leaks that are easy to miss from the ground. A professional inspection from Tennessee Thunderstorm Roofing identifies damage early, prevents costly interior water intrusion, and helps you maintain manufacturer warranties and homeowners-insurance coverage.
What does a Tennessee Thunderstorm Roofing inspection include?
Our certified inspectors perform a 20-point assessment that covers: 1) shingles/tiles or metal panels, 2) flashing around vents, chimneys, and skylights, 3) gutter and downspout condition, 4) attic ventilation and insulation levels, 5) moisture readings and leak detection, 6) roof decking integrity, and 7) structural components such as rafters and trusses. You receive a written report with photos, a maintenance checklist, and repair or replacement recommendations ranked by urgency.
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection?
We recommend at least one full inspection every year, preferably in late spring after winter freezes but before peak summer storms. You should also schedule an additional inspection after any severe weather event that involves hail, high winds over 50 mph, or fallen tree limbs. If your roof is over 12 years old, semiannual inspections can extend its service life and uncover age-related issues sooner.
Will a roof inspection help with my homeowners-insurance claim?
Yes. Our inspectors are trained to document storm-related damage in a format accepted by major insurance carriers. We provide date-stamped photos, a damage map, and an itemized repair cost estimate. This objective documentation strengthens your claim and can speed up the approval process. Upon request, we’ll meet your adjuster on-site to ensure nothing is overlooked.
Do I need to be home during the inspection?
Not necessarily. If we can safely access your roof and attic, you can grant permission through our online form and we’ll perform the inspection while you’re away. We photograph every area we inspect and send the full report by email, followed by a phone or video consultation to answer questions. Of course, you’re always welcome to be present if you’d like to see the findings firsthand.
How much does a roof inspection cost and is the fee applied to repairs?
A standard residential inspection in Powell costs $149. This flat fee covers the site visit, drone imagery (when permitted), moisture testing, and your detailed digital report. If you choose Tennessee Thunderstorm Roofing to perform any recommended repair or full replacement within 90 days, we credit the $149 toward your final invoice, essentially making the inspection free.
