FAQs
What is a photo-backed roof inspection report?
A photo-backed report combines a traditional roof inspection with high-resolution images and drone footage that document every finding. Instead of receiving a text-only checklist, you get a digital PDF that pairs each comment—such as shingle damage, flashing gaps, or moss growth—with time-stamped photos taken on the exact area of concern. This visual evidence makes it easier for you, insurance adjusters, and contractors to understand the roof’s condition and verify recommended repairs.
Why are photo-backed reports valuable for Rockwood homeowners and property managers?
Rockwood’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy spring rains, and mid-summer UV exposure all accelerate roof wear. Having clear photos establishes a baseline of your roof’s condition today, so future damage from storms or ice dams can be proven and claimed more easily. The images also help local contractors quote repairs accurately, saving you from surprise costs. For property managers, a photo-backed report simplifies communication with out-of-town owners or HOAs by showing exactly where maintenance dollars will be spent.
What does your Rockwood roof inspection include?
Our certified inspector walks the entire roof surface (or deploys an FAA-licensed drone when slopes are unsafe) and evaluates: • Shingles, tiles, or metal panels for cracking, cupping, or corrosion • Flashing around chimneys, skylights, valleys, and vents • Gutters, downspouts, and fascia boards for blockage or rot • Attic ventilation and insulation levels (interior check) • Moisture intrusion using infrared scanning when requested • Structural elements like decking and trusses visible from the attic All observations are photographed and tagged with GPS coordinates before being compiled into a same-day or next-day report.
How quickly will I receive my photo-backed inspection report?
In most cases you’ll receive a secure PDF and online link within 24 hours of the site visit. Larger commercial roofs or add-on services such as infrared scans may extend delivery to 48 hours. If you have an urgent real-estate closing or storm-damage deadline, let us know and we can prioritize a same-day turnaround at no extra charge.
Will the inspection disrupt my household or business operations?
Very little. Residential inspections usually take 60–90 minutes; commercial roofs up to 25,000 sq ft can be completed in half a day. Our team does not need interior access unless you’ve requested an attic or ceiling moisture check, in which case we’ll coordinate a convenient time. We use non-invasive equipment—no ripping up shingles—so there’s no mess, noise, or power interruption.
How much does a photo-backed roof inspection cost in Rockwood, and do you help with insurance claims?
For single-family homes (up to 3,000 sq ft) our flat rate is $249, which includes 30+ annotated photos and an itemized repair estimate. Larger homes and commercial buildings are priced at $0.10–$0.15 per square foot. If storm damage is suspected, we document all relevant evidence in the format preferred by major insurers and will meet your adjuster on site at no additional charge. Many clients recoup the inspection fee through approved insurance claims or more accurate contractor bids.
