FAQs
What does a Precision Roof Inspection include?
A Precision Roof Inspection is a 360-degree assessment of your roof’s condition. We start with a thorough visual survey from the ground, then move to an on-roof inspection where we check shingles, flashing, ventilation, gutters, ridge caps, and penetration points such as chimneys and skylights. We also use moisture meters and, when requested, drone or thermal imaging to detect hidden leaks or insulation gaps. You receive a detailed digital report with photos, problem areas marked, life-expectancy estimates, and recommended repair or maintenance steps.
How often should I have my roof inspected in Talbott’s climate?
In East Tennessee, roofs experience rapid temperature swings, high humidity, and the occasional hail or wind event. We recommend two scheduled inspections each year—once in spring after winter freezes and once in fall before cold weather returns. Additionally, schedule an inspection after any major storm (winds above 50 mph, hail, or heavy ice) to catch damage early and preserve your manufacturer warranty and any insurance coverage.
What roofing materials do you install, and which is best for my home?
We install architectural asphalt shingles, metal panels (standing-seam and exposed-fastener), synthetic slate, and low-slope membranes (TPO and EPDM). The best choice depends on budget, roof pitch, and aesthetic goals: • Architectural shingles: Cost-effective, 30-50 yr rating, good noise dampening. • Standing-seam metal: 50+ yrs, high wind resistance, reflects heat—ideal for energy savings. • Synthetic slate: Premium appearance without the weight of natural stone, 50-yr warranty. • TPO/EPDM: For flat or low-slope sections, durable and heat-welded seams keep water out. During your on-site consultation, we present samples, explain pros and cons, and calculate lifecycle costs so you can make an informed decision.
How long does a typical roof replacement take and what is the process?
Most residential re-roofs in Talbott take 1–2 days. Day 1: We protect landscaping, remove old roofing down to the deck, inspect decking, and replace any rotten sheathing. Ice-and-water shield and synthetic underlayment are installed, followed by new flashing. Day 2: We install shingles or metal panels, ridge ventilation, and accessories. A magnetic sweep collects nails, and a final inspection with you ensures satisfaction. Larger or complex roofs may need an extra day, and metal fabrication can add half a day. You receive a workmanship checklist and warranty documents before we leave.
Are you licensed, insured, and do you offer warranties on your work?
Yes. Precision Inspections Roofing holds a Tennessee Home Improvement Contractor license, carries $2 million in general liability insurance, and provides workers’ compensation for every crew member. We are certified installers for GAF and CertainTeed products, enabling us to offer enhanced manufacturer warranties of up to 50 years. Our own workmanship warranty covers installation defects for 10 years on shingle roofs and 15 years on standing-seam metal roofs. All warranty information is provided in writing at project close-out.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover roof repairs or replacement after storm damage?
Most policies in Talbott cover sudden, accidental damage from wind, hail, or falling debris, but not normal wear. After a storm, we provide a free damage assessment with photos and an itemized report that you can submit to your insurer. If damage exceeds your deductible, we meet with the adjuster on-site to ensure all issues are noted. Once the claim is approved, we perform repairs to code, document the work, and send all completion paperwork to the carrier for prompt reimbursement. We also explain depreciation, ACV vs. RCV policies, and any out-of-pocket costs so there are no surprises.
