FAQs
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Soddy-Daisy?
For most homes in Soddy-Daisy we recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, ideally in the spring before storm season or in the fall after the summer heat. The area’s humid subtropical climate, summer downpours, and occasional hail events can accelerate wear. In addition, you should book an inspection any time you notice leaks, after a wind or hailstorm, or before buying or selling a property.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection cover?
Our certified technicians follow a 30-point checklist that includes: exterior shingle, metal, or membrane condition; flashing and sealant integrity; chimney caps and counter-flashing; gutter and downspout alignment; attic ventilation and insulation levels; signs of moisture intrusion or mold; structural decking soundness; and fastener or nail-pop issues. We document every finding with photos and written notes, then provide a clear report outlining current condition, life-expectancy, and any recommended repairs or maintenance.
Why are roof inspections so important after severe weather in Soddy-Daisy?
Hamilton County experiences wind gusts above 60 mph, lightning, and hailstones up to 2 inches in diameter several times a year. Damage is not always obvious from the ground—granule loss, lifted shingles, or small punctures can let water seep into the decking and attic, leading to rot or mold. A prompt post-storm inspection identifies hidden issues early, lets you make timely insurance claims, and often prevents far costlier repairs down the road.
Will a roof inspection help with my homeowners insurance claim?
Yes. Insurers typically require evidence that storm damage is new, not the result of deferred maintenance. Our inspection report includes date-stamped photos, a damage map, and repair estimates that meet carrier documentation standards. We can also meet the adjuster on-site to review findings, which often speeds approval and ensures you receive fair coverage for necessary repairs or replacement.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and what does it cost?
A standard single-family home inspection in Soddy-Daisy takes 45–60 minutes on the roof plus 15 minutes in the attic. You’ll receive the written report the same day. We offer free inspections for homeowners who suspect storm damage; otherwise the service is $129, which is credited toward any repair work we perform. Larger or steep-slope roofs may require additional time or drone photography, but we’ll quote that before scheduling.
Can I perform my own roof inspection safely?
You can do a basic visual check from the ground—look for missing shingles, sagging gutters, or debris buildup—but climbing onto the roof without proper safety gear is risky and may void some warranties. Our inspectors are OSHA-trained, carry fall-protection equipment, and know how to spot subtle issues such as soft decking or flashing gaps. For your safety and the most accurate assessment, let a professional handle the full inspection while you review the photo report from the comfort of your kitchen table.
