FAQs
Why are routine roof inspections especially important in Rockwood’s climate?
Rockwood experiences a full range of weather—hot summers, heavy rain, occasional hail, and freezing winters. These conditions can cause shingles to blister, flashing to loosen, and moisture to seep into the decking. A routine inspection identifies early signs of weather-related wear before they turn into leaks, mold growth, or structural damage, protecting both your home and your long-term repair budget.
What does your professional roof inspection in Rockwood include?
Our certified inspector performs a 40-point assessment that covers: 1) exterior shingle/metal condition, 2) flashing, vents, and chimney seals, 3) gutters, downspouts, and attic ventilation, 4) decking integrity using infrared moisture scanning, and 5) interior ceilings and attic for hidden leaks or insulation issues. You receive a photo-documented report, a life-expectancy estimate, and prioritized repair recommendations within 24 hours.
How frequently should I schedule a roof inspection?
We recommend at least one inspection every 12 months, ideally in spring or fall. Homes with mature trees overhead, recent storm exposure, or roofs older than 10 years benefit from biannual checks. Insurance carriers often require documentation after major weather events, so an additional post-storm inspection is wise whenever hail or high winds hit Rockwood.
Will a roof inspection disrupt my day or damage the roof surface?
No. A standard inspection takes 60–90 minutes for most single-family homes. Our technicians use padded footwear and ladder stabilizers to protect shingles and gutters. We do not remove materials unless you authorize a minor test section, and you can stay comfortably inside while we work. All findings are reviewed with you on-site or via video call if you’re away.
How much does a roof inspection cost, and can it actually save me money?
A stand-alone inspection in Rockwood costs $149 for roofs up to 3,000 sq. ft. and includes the full digital report. If you proceed with any recommended repair over $750 within 90 days, we credit the inspection fee toward that work. Catching a small flashing gap early can prevent thousands of dollars in water damage, so most clients see a strong return on this modest investment.
What if the inspection reveals damage—am I obligated to repair immediately?
You’re under no obligation. We provide a clear, ranked list of issues (urgent, monitor, long-term). If you choose to proceed, we can supply a same-day repair estimate or help file an insurance claim if storm damage is involved. Many homeowners use our report to obtain additional bids or for real-estate disclosures. The decision and timing are entirely up to you.
