FAQs
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Sevierville?
Because Sevierville sees wide temperature swings, heavy summer thunderstorms, and occasional winter ice, we recommend a professional roof inspection at least once a year—preferably in the spring or early fall. You should also schedule an additional inspection after any major hail, wind, or snow event. Regular check-ups let us find and fix minor issues before they grow into leaks that can damage ceilings, insulation, and drywall.
What does your thorough roof inspection include?
Our certified technicians follow a 50-point checklist that covers every component of your roofing system. We visually inspect shingles, tiles, or metal panels for cracking, lifting, and granule loss; check flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents; examine pipe boots, ridge caps, and drip edges; assess the condition of underlayment where accessible; and look for soft decking spots from the attic side. We also evaluate gutter alignment and downspout flow, document moisture or mold, and take high-resolution photos so you can see exactly what we see.
Why are roof inspections especially important after severe weather in Sevierville?
East Tennessee’s storms often bring 60-mph wind gusts and hail up to 1" in diameter. These forces can loosen shingles, dent metal, and compromise seals—damage that might not cause an immediate leak but will shorten the roof’s life. A post-storm inspection detects hidden issues early, maintains your manufacturer’s warranty (most require prompt inspections), and provides the photographic evidence you’ll need if an insurance claim becomes necessary.
Will a roof inspection help me with an insurance claim?
Yes. Our inspection report includes date-stamped photos, written descriptions of all storm-related damage, and an estimated repair cost. This documentation meets the requirements of most insurance carriers and substantially increases the likelihood of a fair settlement. If you wish, our team can meet your adjuster on-site to point out damage and answer technical questions at no additional charge.
How long does a typical roof inspection take, and do I need to be home?
For an average single-family home in Sevierville, the inspection lasts 45–60 minutes. Larger or steeper roofs may take up to 90 minutes. You do not have to be present, but we do need access to the attic and any locked gates. If you can’t be home, we’ll arrange secure entry instructions in advance and email the full report—including photos and video—within 24 hours.
What happens if you find damage—can you also handle the repairs or replacement?
Absolutely. After the inspection we’ll explain every finding, prioritize repairs by urgency, and provide written estimates for each option—whether it ’s a simple shingle replacement, flashing repair, or a full reroof. Because we’re a licensed and insured Sevierville roofing contractor, we can move straight from inspection to repair scheduling, often within a few days, saving you the hassle of hiring separate companies.
