FAQs
Why are regular roof inspections important in Shelbyville’s climate?
Shelbyville experiences hot, humid summers, heavy spring rains, the occasional hailstorm, and rapid freeze-thaw cycles in winter. These extremes accelerate shingle aging, loosen flashing, and cause hidden moisture intrusion. A professional inspection identifies minor issues—such as lifted shingles, cracked sealant, or soft decking—before they become costly leaks, mold growth, or structural rot. Routine check-ups protect your investment, maintain energy efficiency, and extend the roof’s service life.
What does your professional roof inspection include?
Our certified inspector starts with an exterior assessment of shingles, tiles, metal panels, flashing, chimney caps, skylights, and gutter systems. We then enter the attic (when accessible) to look for water stains, rusted nails, inadequate insulation, and ventilation problems. Moisture meters, infrared cameras, or drones may be used for hard-to-reach or steep sections. You receive a digital report with annotated photos, a condition grade, and clear recommendations for maintenance or repair.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection for my Shelbyville property?
For a relatively new roof (0-5 years), we suggest an inspection every two years and after any severe storm. Roofs older than five years or with prior repairs benefit from annual inspections. If you’re buying or selling a home, refinancing, or switching insurance carriers, a fresh inspection adds peace of mind and negotiation leverage.
Can a roof inspection help me with insurance claims after storm damage?
Yes. Insurers require detailed, time-stamped evidence of storm-related damage. We document missing shingles, hail bruising, wind-lifted edges, and water penetration with high-resolution photos and written findings that align with insurance adjuster guidelines. Submitting our independent report often speeds up claim approval and maximizes your eligible payout.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A standard single-family home in Shelbyville usually takes 60–90 minutes to inspect. Larger or more complex roofs (multi-level, steep slope, or commercial buildings) can take two to three hours. We don’t need to shut off utilities or move furniture, and you don’t have to be home—though we’re happy to walk you through our findings in person or via video call afterward.
What happens if your inspection uncovers damage or excessive wear?
You will receive a prioritized list of issues, from urgent leaks to preventive maintenance items. We provide transparent repair estimates and can schedule the work with our in-house roofing crew or coordinate with the contractor of your choice. Once repairs are completed, we perform a complimentary follow-up inspection to verify quality and update your roof’s condition report.
