FAQs
Why is an attic inspection just as important as an exterior roof inspection in Signal Mountain?
In our area, rapid temperature swings and high seasonal humidity can force moisture up into the attic where it condenses on rafters and decking. An attic inspection lets us see early warning signs—mold, rusty nails, wet insulation, or daylight through sheathing—that are not visible from the roof surface. Catching these interior clues early helps prevent rot, structural damage, and expensive energy loss before they spread to the rest of your home.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection for a home in Signal Mountain?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring after winter freeze-thaw cycles have stressed shingles and flashing. Because Signal Mountain sits on a ridge that takes the brunt of summer storms and occasional hail, you should also call us for a quick post-storm check any time you notice high winds, fallen limbs, or roof-impacting debris.
What does Attic Checks Roofing look for during a comprehensive inspection?
Our certified inspectors examine the entire roofing system, inside and out. Outside we assess shingles, flashing, chimneys, valleys, pipe boots, gutters, and fascia for wear or storm damage. Inside the attic we check ventilation, insulation depth, moisture levels, decking integrity, and signs of animal intrusion. We document everything with photos, provide a written condition report, and give you a prioritized repair or maintenance plan.
How long will the inspection take and do I need to be home?
Most single-family homes in Signal Mountain take 60–90 minutes to inspect. You don’t have to stay the whole time, but we do ask that someone is available to grant attic access and review our findings at the end. If you can’t be on-site, we can text pictures in real time and email the final report for your review.
Can an inspection help with an insurance claim after hail or wind damage?
Yes. Our inspectors are trained to identify storm-related damage that insurers recognize, such as bruised shingles, lifted edges, or impact marks on soft metals. We photograph all evidence, prepare a detailed inspection report, and can meet with your adjuster on-site to ensure nothing is overlooked, increasing the likelihood of a fair settlement.
What does a roof inspection cost and is the fee applied to repairs?
A full attic-to-shingle inspection in Signal Mountain is $149 for most homes. If we find issues that require repair and you choose Attic Checks Roofing to perform the work within 90 days, we credit the entire inspection fee toward your repair invoice—effectively making the inspection free.
