FAQs
Why should I schedule a professional roof inspection instead of checking the roof myself?
A professional inspection goes beyond a simple visual check. Our certified inspectors in South Pittsburg use specialized tools such as moisture meters, infrared scanners, and drone imaging to detect hidden leaks, trapped moisture, and loose fasteners that the untrained eye would miss. We also assess flashing integrity, ventilation balance, and manufacturer-specific installation details. This comprehensive approach helps you avoid overlooking small problems that can turn into expensive repairs or premature replacement.
How often do South Pittsburg homeowners need a roof inspection?
We recommend two inspections per year—once in early spring and again in late fall—because our region experiences heavy rainfall, hail, and wide temperature swings. Semi-annual checkups catch damage from winter freeze-thaw cycles and summer UV exposure before they escalate. Additionally, schedule an immediate inspection after any major storm that produces hail or winds above 50 mph, as these events are common in the Sequatchie Valley.
What is included in an Honest Recommendations Roofing inspection report?
You receive a photo-rich digital report within 24 hours that covers: (1) roof age and material condition, (2) shingle or metal panel wear, (3) flashing, vent, and chimney status, (4) gutter and downspout functionality, (5) attic ventilation and insulation findings, (6) moisture readings, and (7) prioritized repair or maintenance recommendations with transparent cost ranges. The report is formatted for insurance claims and real-estate disclosures, and we archive it so you can compare future inspections side-by-side.
How much does a roof inspection cost and do you offer free estimates?
A standard single-family roof inspection in South Pittsburg costs $149, which is credited toward any repair work we perform within 90 days. For real-estate transactions, the fee is $199 because it includes additional documentation required by lenders and insurers. Storm-damage assessments are free if you plan to file an insurance claim, as we bill your carrier directly for the inspection once the claim is approved.
What signs indicate I should call you for an immediate inspection?
Reach out right away if you notice ceiling stains, visible shingle granules in gutters, warped or missing shingles, persistent attic humidity, unexplained energy-bill spikes, or daylight shining through roof boards. Sudden interior leaks, even small ones, also warrant an urgent inspection. Delaying can void manufacturer warranties and cause structural rot, mold growth, or insulation damage.
Are you licensed and insured, and do you work with insurance companies?
Yes. Honest Recommendations Roofing holds a Tennessee Contractor’s License #112233, carries $2 million in general liability coverage, and maintains full workers’ compensation insurance for every crew member. Our inspection specialists are Haag-certified for residential roofs, which most insurers recognize. We handle all paperwork, meet adjusters onsite, and provide the detailed documentation insurers require to approve claims quickly, saving you time and stress.
