FAQs
Why should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Speedwell?
Speedwell’s mix of hot, humid summers, occasional hail, and winter freeze-thaw cycles can quietly deteriorate roofing materials. A professional inspection identifies small leaks, loose shingles, rusted flashing, and hidden moisture intrusion before they evolve into costly structural repairs or interior water damage. It also preserves your roof’s manufacturer warranty, protects property value, and provides documentation for insurance or real-estate transactions.
How often should my roof be inspected?
Industry standards recommend two inspections each year—once in the spring after winter weather and once in the fall before colder conditions return. Additional inspections are advised after severe storms, hail events, or if you notice signs such as ceiling stains, missing shingles, or excessive granules in gutters. New roofs still benefit from scheduled check-ups to maintain warranties, while older roofs (15+ years) may need closer monitoring.
What does your comprehensive roof inspection include?
Our certified technician performs a multi-point assessment: (1) Exterior visual survey of shingles, tiles, metal panels, or flat-roof membranes for cracking, uplift, or punctures; (2) Close inspection of flashing, drip edges, chimneys, vents, skylights, and wall junctions for gaps or corrosion; (3) Evaluation of gutters, downspouts, and fascia for proper drainage and wood rot; (4) Attic assessment with moisture meter and infrared camera to locate hidden leaks, missing insulation, or poor ventilation; (5) Structural check of decking, trusses, and fasteners; (6) Photographic documentation and a written report with condition ratings and repair recommendations.
Can a roof inspection help me with my insurance claim?
Yes. Insurers require evidence that damage was storm-related and not due to neglect. Our inspection provides date-stamped photos, moisture readings, and a detailed narrative that outlines the cause, extent, and estimated repair cost. This documentation streamlines the claim process, reduces disputes, and often results in faster approval and fair compensation. We can also meet with your adjuster on-site to explain findings.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and will it disrupt my day?
Most single-family home inspections in Speedwell take 60–90 minutes. Larger or complex roofs may require up to two hours. We schedule appointments at your convenience, arrive promptly, and use safety harnesses and ladder stabilizers to minimize risk. Interior attic checks involve limited access and a dust sheet to protect your living space. You can remain at home and resume normal activities during the inspection.
What happens if you find damage during the inspection?
You will receive a clear, prioritized action plan. Minor maintenance items (e.g., resealing flashing) can often be quoted and scheduled immediately. For significant issues, we provide repair or replacement options, material choices, cost estimates, and projected timelines. If structural or insurance-covered storm damage is discovered, we guide you through the claim process, supply all required documentation, and coordinate repairs with licensed, locally insured crews to restore your roof to code.
