FAQs
Why are regular roof inspections important in Tazewell’s climate?
Tazewell experiences a mix of hot summers, heavy rain, winter snow, and occasional high winds. These shifting conditions cause shingles to expand and contract, flashing to loosen, and sealants to crack. A semi-annual inspection helps detect small problems—like lifted shingles or minor leaks—before moisture penetrates the decking, insulation, or interior ceilings. Early detection saves homeowners thousands of dollars in major repairs and extends the overall life expectancy of the roofing system by as much as 25 percent.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection?
For most Tazewell homes, we recommend two inspections per year: once in the spring after freeze-thaw cycles and once in the fall before winter sets in. If your roof is older than 15 years, has architectural features such as multiple valleys or skylights, or has been exposed to a severe weather event (hail, high winds, or heavy snow), it should be inspected immediately and then followed up every six months.
What does your professional roof inspection include?
Our certified roofing technicians start with an exterior evaluation, checking shingles, tiles, or metal panels for cracks, curling, rust, or missing fasteners. We inspect flashing at chimneys, vents, and wall junctions; examine gutter systems for proper drainage; and assess roof penetrations like plumbing stacks for secure seals. Inside the attic we look for daylight infiltration, moisture stains, mold, and insulation damage. Every inspection concludes with high-resolution photos, a written condition report, a prioritized repair list, and an estimate for any recommended work.
Can a roof inspection help with insurance claims after storm damage?
Yes. Insurance carriers typically require documented evidence before approving a storm-damage claim. Our inspectors are trained to recognize wind-lift patterns, hail impact bruising, and water intrusion points. We provide a detailed, time-stamped inspection report with photos, material samples (if needed), and a professional opinion on cause of damage. This documentation significantly strengthens your claim, speeds up adjuster approval, and ensures you receive fair compensation for repairs or full replacement.
Do you offer drone or thermal imaging inspections?
For steep-slope, inaccessible, or large commercial roofs, we deploy FAA-licensed drone pilots equipped with 4K cameras to capture high-detail imagery without walking on fragile surfaces. We also offer infrared (thermal) scanning that detects hidden moisture beneath shingles or membranes by identifying temperature differentials. Both technologies enhance safety, reduce inspection time, and allow us to pinpoint leaks that are invisible to the naked eye.
How much does a roof inspection cost and do I receive a warranty or written report?
A standard residential inspection in Tazewell starts at $149, which includes on-site evaluation, attic assessment, photographic documentation, and a comprehensive written report delivered within 24 hours. If you proceed with recommended repairs through our company, the inspection fee is credited toward the job total. All repairs come with a transferable workmanship warranty of up to 10 years, and we keep digital copies of your report on file should you need them for future real-estate transactions or insurance claims.
