FAQs
Why should I hire a certified roof inspector instead of inspecting the roof myself?
Certified inspectors are trained to identify subtle issues—such as hidden moisture, early-stage shingle failure, and improper flashing—that untrained eyes typically miss. They follow national inspection standards, carry professional liability insurance, and provide a written, photo-documented report that many insurance companies and real-estate lenders in Shelbyville require. A DIY inspection can overlook problems, void warranties, or create safety risks. Hiring a certified professional ensures an accurate condition assessment, protects your investment, and helps you make informed repair or replacement decisions.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection in Shelbyville include?
Our certified inspection covers the entire roof system, starting with an exterior evaluation of shingles or other coverings, flashing, vents, chimneys, gutters, fascia, and soffits. We then inspect roof decking from the attic (when accessible) to check for leaks, inadequate ventilation, and insulation issues. Using moisture meters, drones, and infrared cameras when necessary, we document any damage, code violations, or wear patterns. After the inspection, you receive a detailed digital report with annotated photos, repair recommendations, and an estimated remaining service life.
How often should Shelbyville homeowners schedule a professional roof inspection?
Most asphalt-shingle roofs should be inspected at least once every two years, and annually once they reach 10 years of age. Metal, tile, and commercial flat roofs benefit from yearly inspections because minor punctures or seam failures can quickly escalate. Shelbyville’s mix of hot summers, occasional hail, and heavy winter rains can accelerate wear, so we recommend an inspection after any severe storm or when buying or selling a property. Regular inspections allow small issues to be fixed before they become expensive leaks.
Will the roof inspection disrupt my daily routine or require me to be home?
A standard inspection takes 60–90 minutes for an average-sized home. You do not have to be present, but we do need access to the attic and the electrical outlet if infrared scanning is requested. If you can’t be home, we arrange secure access instructions in advance. We use non-invasive tools and protective equipment, so landscaping and exterior surfaces remain undisturbed. Your final report is emailed within 24 hours, and we are available for a phone or video call to review findings at your convenience.
What happens if the inspection reveals damage or code violations?
Your report will include labeled photos, severity ratings, and clear repair recommendations. For minor maintenance items—like replacing a few shingles or resealing flashing—we can often provide an on-the-spot quote. For extensive damage, structural issues, or warranty claims, we supply a detailed scope of work that you can use to obtain competitive bids. Because our inspectors are certified and independent, you are never obligated to use our repair crew; you may share the report with any contractor or insurance adjuster to expedite claims.
How much does a certified roof inspection cost in Shelbyville, and do you offer free estimates?
A stand-alone residential roof inspection costs $179 for homes up to 3,000 sq ft; larger or complex roofs are quoted individually. This fee includes attic access, drone or camera pole imaging, and the digital report. Commercial or multi-family roofs start at $299. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for all recommended repairs, and if you hire our team to perform the work, 50 % of the inspection fee is credited back to your invoice. Storm-damage inspections for insurance claims are often billed directly to the carrier, minimizing out-of-pocket costs.
