FAQs
Why should I hire a certified roof inspector instead of a general contractor?
Certified roof inspectors in Sevierville undergo specialized training, pass rigorous exams, and stay current with building codes and manufacturer specifications. They are qualified to identify subtle issues—such as ventilation problems, hail damage, or premature shingle failure—that a general contractor may overlook. Their detailed, unbiased reports help you avoid costly surprises, satisfy insurance requirements, and make informed repair or replacement decisions.
What does a professional roof inspection in Sevierville include?
Our inspection covers a 50-point checklist that examines shingles, flashing, fasteners, vents, skylights, gutters, attic insulation, roof decking, and structural elements. We also use infrared scanning to detect hidden moisture, drones for hard-to-reach valleys and ridges, and digital photos to document every finding. Afterward, you receive a written report with condition grades, estimated lifespans, maintenance recommendations, and repair cost ranges.
How often should I have my roof inspected in East Tennessee’s climate?
Given Sevierville’s combination of hot summers, heavy rain, high winds, and occasional snow, we recommend a professional inspection twice a year—once in the spring after winter weather and again in the fall before storm season. Additionally, schedule an inspection after severe events such as hailstorms, straight-line winds, or tornado warnings to catch storm damage before it escalates.
Will an inspection void my roof warranty?
No. In fact, many manufacturer warranties and homeowners insurance policies require periodic inspections by certified professionals to remain valid. We follow manufacturer guidelines and never perform invasive testing without written consent. Our documentation can actually strengthen warranty claims by providing proof of proper maintenance and timely repairs.
How long does the inspection take and do I need to be present?
A typical single-family home in Sevierville takes 60–90 minutes to inspect, while larger or steep-slope roofs may require up to two hours. You do not have to be home, but we encourage homeowners to attend a brief walk-through at the end. This allows us to show photos, answer questions, and prioritize any repairs face-to-face.
What is the cost of a certified roof inspection and can it save me money?
Most Sevierville homes fall in the $175–$275 range, depending on roof size, pitch, and accessibility. While this may seem like an added expense, early detection of leaks or flashing failures can prevent thousands of dollars in structural repairs or interior mold remediation. Moreover, many insurers offer premium discounts or deductible reductions when you submit a recent certified inspection report.
