FAQs
What does a "Detailed Roof Health Report" include for homes in Rutledge?
Our report is a comprehensive written and photographic record of your roof’s condition. It covers shingle or metal panel integrity, flashing and chimney seals, gutter attachment, ventilation performance, attic moisture readings, storm-damage mapping by slope, life-expectancy estimate, and prioritized repair recommendations. You will also receive a digital file you can forward to insurers or potential buyers.
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Rutledge’s climate?
We recommend a full inspection every 12 months, plus an additional check after any major hail, wind, or ice event. Rutledge’s humid summers and occasional severe storms accelerate wear, so annual monitoring helps spot small issues—such as lifted shingles or rusted fasteners—before they become leaks or structural damage.
How long does the inspection take and will someone need to be home?
A typical single-family home inspection takes 60-90 minutes. We do request that an adult be present for the first 10 minutes to review concerns and again at the end for the on-site findings summary. If access to the attic is through the living space, we’ll coordinate entry in advance to minimize disruption.
Will the health report help with insurance claims or real-estate transactions?
Yes. Our reports conform to National Roof Certification & Inspection Association (NRCIA) guidelines, which most insurers and real-estate agents accept as third-party documentation. The date-stamped photos, damage diagrams, and professional opinion section can expedite storm-damage claims and give buyers confidence in the roof’s remaining life.
Is there a difference between a free roof estimate and your paid health report?
A free estimate is a quick surface look designed to generate a repair quote; it rarely involves attic access, moisture testing, or a written analysis. The paid health report is diagnostic, not sales-driven: our inspector climbs every slope, photographs all components, measures ventilation rates, and produces a 10-15 page report you own whether or not you hire us for repairs.
What does a Detailed Roof Health Report cost and do you offer any local discounts?
For Rutledge homeowners, the standard fee is $249 for roofs up to 3,000 sq ft. Larger or complex roofs are priced after a quick phone assessment. We offer a 10 % discount for military, first responders, and seniors, and the fee is fully credited toward any repair work exceeding $1,000 that is scheduled within 90 days of the inspection.
