FAQs
What is included in your complimentary roof inspection for Sewanee homeowners?
Our no-cost inspection covers every critical component of your roofing system. A certified technician will visually examine shingles, flashing, valleys, vents, chimneys, skylights, gutters, and the roof deck (from the attic when accessible). We look for missing or broken shingles, hail or wind impact, signs of leaks, moisture stains, insulation problems, and ventilation issues. You receive a detailed digital report with annotated photos, a condition grade, and professional recommendations—all at zero charge.
How long does a free roof inspection take, and do I need to be home?
Most inspections take 30–60 minutes for an average-sized Sewanee residence. You don’t have to be present for the roof portion, but we encourage homeowners to be available at the beginning (to discuss concerns) and at the end (to review findings). If you can’t be on-site, we’ll email the full report, images, and a short video walkthrough so you can see exactly what we saw.
What roofing problems are most common in Sewanee, and how does early repair save money?
Sewanee’s mix of heavy rains, seasonal storms, and dense tree cover leads to frequent shingle loss, granular wear, popped nails, gutter clogging, and moisture intrusion around flashing. Because our area also sees temperature swings, small cracks can widen quickly, allowing water into the roof deck and attic. Addressing these issues right after an inspection typically costs hundreds of dollars; waiting until leaks spread can escalate repairs into the thousands, require interior drywall work, and even shorten the roof’s life by several years.
If damage is found, will I receive a written estimate and photographs?
Yes. Along with the inspection report, we supply high-resolution photos, drone images (when conditions allow), and a line-item repair estimate that lists materials, labor, and projected timeline. This documentation is formatted for homeowner records and for submission to insurance carriers, making any claim process smoother.
Am I obligated to hire your company for repairs after the complimentary inspection?
No, the inspection is truly obligation-free. Our goal is to give Sewanee property owners accurate information about their roof’s condition. You are free to compare quotes or postpone repairs. If you choose us, we’ll honor the estimate for 60 days and apply any inspection-day promotional discounts we offered.
How quickly can repairs be scheduled, and do you help with insurance claims?
Standard repairs can usually be scheduled within 3–5 business days of your approval; emergency tarping or leak stoppage can be done the same day. For storm or hail damage, our staff will meet with your insurance adjuster, provide all inspection evidence, and assist you with paperwork to maximize coverage. We also offer flexible financing options for out-of-pocket costs, so essential repairs aren’t delayed.
