FAQs
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Spring City?
Because Spring City experiences a full range of weather—hail and high winds in spring, intense summer UV exposure, and freeze-thaw cycles in winter—we recommend a professional inspection at least once a year, ideally in early fall. This timing lets you address minor issues before winter and ensures your home stays watertight during heavy snow and ice. Additionally, schedule an immediate inspection after any severe storm, hail event, or if you notice interior leaks, missing shingles, or sagging areas.
What does a comprehensive roof inspection from your Spring City team include?
Our certified inspectors perform a multi-point assessment that covers: • Exterior surface check—shingles, tiles, metal panels, or membrane for cracks, granule loss, rust, or punctures. • Flashing & penetration review—vents, chimneys, skylights, and wall junctions for sealant failures. • Structural evaluation—decking integrity, truss alignment, and signs of sagging. • Attic assessment—insulation levels, ventilation rates, and evidence of moisture or mold. • Drainage system—gutters, downspouts, and fascia for blockages or deterioration. • Thermal imaging/drone scan (when conditions allow)—to reveal hidden moisture or heat loss points. Afterward, you receive a detailed photo report, condition rating, and prioritized repair or maintenance recommendations.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and will it disturb my daily routine?
Most single-family home inspections in Spring City take 60–90 minutes on site. Larger roofs or complex architectural designs can extend the visit. Our inspectors use non-invasive tools—including drones and handheld moisture meters—so we rarely need to remove materials. You can remain inside the home during the process; noise and disruption are minimal.
Do you charge for roof inspections, and can they be applied toward repair costs?
We offer two tiers: 1. Standard annual inspection—$129 flat fee, which covers the complete report and digital images. 2. Real-estate or insurance documentation inspection—$179, including official forms and wind-mitigation addenda. If you proceed with repair or replacement work through our company within 90 days, we credit 100% of the inspection fee toward the project, effectively making the inspection free.
Are roof inspections really necessary if I don’t see any leaks?
Yes. Many roof problems (loose flashing, small shingle fractures, or underlayment deterioration) develop long before water reaches your ceilings. Finding issues early prevents expensive structural rot, mold growth, and premature roof replacement. In fact, the National Roofing Contractors Association states that preventive inspections can extend a roof’s service life by 30%. Regular documentation also helps with warranty claims and insurance coverage should storm damage occur.
Will a roof inspection help with my insurance claim after a Spring City storm?
Absolutely. Insurance carriers require clear proof of storm-related damage versus normal wear. Our inspectors are HAAG-certified to document hail impacts, wind uplift, and debris strikes. We provide date-stamped photos, damage diagrams, and an inspection summary that aligns with insurer guidelines. We can even meet your adjuster on site to ensure nothing is overlooked, maximizing the likelihood of a fair settlement for repairs or full roof replacement.
