FAQs
Why is a professional roof inspection important in Sequatchie’s climate?
Sequatchie County experiences a mix of hot, humid summers, heavy rain, and occasional severe storms. These conditions accelerate shingle aging, loosen flashing, and can create hidden leaks. A professional inspection identifies early warning signs—such as granule loss, lifted shingles, or weakened decking—before they turn into costly structural or interior damage, prolonging your roof’s life and protecting your home’s value.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection for my Sequatchie home?
For most asphalt-shingle or metal roofs, we recommend a full inspection at least once a year, preferably in spring or early fall when weather is mild. Additionally, schedule an immediate inspection after any hail, high-wind, or heavy ice event. Regular inspections conform with many manufacturer warranties and give you documented proof of maintenance should you need to file an insurance claim.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection include?
Our certified inspectors perform a 50-point assessment that covers: exterior shingle or panel condition, flashing and sealant integrity, chimney and vent penetrations, gutter and downspout performance, attic ventilation, insulation levels, and moisture intrusion checks with infrared scanning. You receive a detailed digital report with photos, condition grading, and prioritized repair or maintenance recommendations.
Will your roof inspection report help with insurance claims after storm damage?
Yes. Our reports meet insurance-industry standards, including date-stamped photos, damage descriptions, and repair cost estimates. If storm damage is evident, we can meet your adjuster on-site to explain findings, increasing the likelihood of an accurate settlement and faster approval for covered repairs or replacement.
How long does the inspection take and do I need to be home?
Most residential inspections take 60–90 minutes. You do not have to be home as long as we have safe roof access, but many homeowners prefer to be present so we can review issues in real time. If you can’t be there, we’ll email the full report within 24 hours and schedule a follow-up call to answer questions.
What happens if the inspection reveals damage or needed repairs?
Your report will categorize findings as urgent, recommended, or routine maintenance. We provide transparent, written estimates for any repair work and outline all options—from spot repairs to full replacement—so you can make an informed decision. If you approve our proposal, we’ll schedule the work at your convenience and apply the inspection fee toward the repair cost, saving you money.
