FAQs
Why should I have my Rockwood roof inspected by a certified inspector?
A certified inspector has undergone specialized training, carries state-required licensing, and follows industry-recognized inspection standards. This expertise allows us to detect hidden moisture intrusion, wind or hail impact, installation errors, and premature material failure that an untrained eye may miss. In Rockwood’s variable climate—where heavy snow loads in winter can be followed by intense summer UV exposure—these subtle issues can quickly develop into leaks, structural decay, or lost warranty coverage if not caught early.
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Rockwood’s climate?
For most asphalt-shingle and metal roofs we recommend a full inspection twice per year—once in the spring after freeze-thaw cycles and once in the fall before winter storms arrive. If your property recently experienced severe weather (hail, high winds, or heavy snowfall) or if you own a flat/low-slope membrane roof, schedule an additional inspection immediately afterward. Regular bi-annual inspections meet the maintenance requirements of many manufacturer warranties and can help you avoid costly emergency repairs.
What does your certified roof inspection include?
Our Rockwood inspection is a 50-point assessment that covers: • Exterior evaluation of shingles, tiles, flashing, ridges, valleys, vents, and chimney caps • Attic interior check for proper ventilation, insulation levels, and signs of condensation or mold • Moisture scanning with infrared thermography to locate hidden leaks • Fastener pull tests on metal roofs to verify securement • Gutter and downspout flow test to ensure proper drainage • Photographic documentation and a written report with condition grading, recommended repairs or maintenance, and estimated remaining service life.
Will a roof inspection affect my warranty or insurance claim?
An inspection does not void your warranty; in fact, most manufacturers and insurers require periodic documented inspections to keep coverage valid. If storm damage is found, our certified report provides the evidence insurers need to process your claim quickly. Because we are an independent inspection firm—separate from roofing contractors—our findings are viewed as impartial, which strengthens your warranty or claim submission.
How long does a roof inspection take, and what will I receive afterward?
A typical single-family home inspection in Rockwood takes 60–90 minutes, while larger commercial roofs may require 2–4 hours. Within 24 hours you will receive a digital report that includes high-resolution photos, annotated diagrams, infrared images (if applicable), a condition summary, maintenance recommendations, and a priority-ranked repair list. If urgent safety issues are found, we notify you on-site and email a preliminary alert the same day.
What happens if your Rockwood inspector discovers damage?
If we identify issues such as missing shingles, failed flashing, or structural sagging, we categorize them as minor, moderate, or critical. For minor repairs, we can recommend trusted local roofing contractors or work with your preferred roofer. For moderate to critical damage, especially storm-related, we’ll help you start the insurance claim process by supplying the detailed inspection report, photos, and estimated repair costs. Our team can also perform a follow-up inspection after repairs to verify the work meets manufacturer and code requirements, protecting your investment for the long term.
