FAQs
What does a certified roof inspection in Tazewell include?
Our certified specialists follow a 50-point checklist that covers every component of your roofing system. We examine shingles or metal panels for wear, check flashing around chimneys and vents, look for hidden leaks with infrared moisture scanning, inspect attic ventilation and insulation levels, and evaluate gutters, downspouts, and roof decking. We also document storm-related damage common to Tazewell—such as wind-lifted shingles and hail impact marks—providing a photo report and written summary the same day. This comprehensive approach ensures you know the exact condition of your roof and any actions needed to keep it in peak shape.
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection?
For most homes in Tazewell, we recommend a full inspection at least once every 12 months and after any major weather event (hail, heavy snow, or high winds). The area’s freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal storms can accelerate wear, so annual checkups help catch small issues—like cracked shingles or loose flashing—before they turn into expensive leaks. If your roof is approaching 15 years of age or you have a complex roofline, consider semi-annual inspections (spring and fall) to stay ahead of potential problems.
Why should I choose certified specialists for my roof inspection?
Certification means our inspectors have completed manufacturer-approved coursework, hands-on training, and continuing education on current building codes and best practices. In Tazewell, where roof loads from snow and high winds vary by elevation, code compliance is critical. Our credentials allow us to provide inspections accepted by insurance carriers and real-estate lenders, and to issue workmanship warranties many uncertified contractors cannot offer. Simply put, certified specialists give you an expert, unbiased evaluation that protects your home, your wallet, and your peace of mind.
Will a roof inspection help with my insurance claim after storm damage?
Yes. Our detailed inspection reports include high-resolution photos, damage mapping, and itemized repair estimates formatted to meet insurance guidelines. We document hail strikes, wind uplift, and water intrusion so adjusters can verify damage quickly. Many Tazewell homeowners recover repair costs faster because our certified findings carry more weight with insurers. We can also meet the adjuster on-site to advocate for proper coverage, reducing the chance of underpayment or claim denial.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and will it disrupt my day?
Most residential inspections in Tazewell take 60–90 minutes. We coordinate arrival times around your schedule, and no one needs to be home unless attic access is required. Our inspectors wear soft-soled shoes and use protective pads to avoid scuffing shingles or metal. After the roof walk-through, we review findings with you in person or via video call, whichever you prefer, so there’s minimal interruption to your daily routine.
What happens if the inspection uncovers problems with my roof?
If we identify issues—loose flashing, missing shingles, soft decking, or moisture intrusion—you will receive a prioritized action plan. Urgent repairs (items that can lead to immediate leaks) are outlined first, followed by maintenance recommendations that can extend roof life. We provide transparent, line-item pricing and multiple repair options when possible. All repair work is performed by our certified crews and backed by both manufacturer material warranties and our company’s labor guarantee. You can schedule repairs right away or get second opinions—our report is yours to keep with no obligation.
