FAQs
How often should I have my roof inspected in Tellico Plains?
Because Tellico Plains experiences heavy rain, high humidity, and the occasional severe storm, we recommend a professional roof inspection at least twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. Additional inspections are wise after strong wind, hail, or snow events to catch hidden damage early.
What does a standard roof inspection include?
Our comprehensive inspection covers shingles, flashing, vents, chimneys, gutters, fascia, and soffits. We look for loose or missing shingles, granule loss, soft spots, moisture intrusion, rusted or damaged flashing, inadequate ventilation, and signs of mold or algae growth. We also inspect the attic for proper insulation, ventilation, and water stains.
Why are regular roof inspections important in this region?
Tellico Plains’ mix of hot summers, high humidity, and sudden storms accelerates wear on roofing materials. Regular inspections identify small issues—such as cracked shingles or minor leaks—before they lead to costly structural damage, internal water intrusion, or mold. Preventive maintenance can add 5–10 years to your roof’s life and preserve your manufacturer’s warranty.
How long does a roof inspection take and will it disrupt my day?
Most residential roof inspections take 60–90 minutes. Our certified technician conducts all work from the exterior and attic, so there is minimal disruption. You don’t need to be home the entire time; we only need access to the attic if applicable. A detailed written report with photos is sent within 24 hours.
What does a roof inspection cost in Tellico Plains?
Prices vary by roof size and complexity, but a typical single-family home inspection ranges from $125 to $225. We offer free inspections after major storms and provide bundled maintenance plans that reduce per-visit costs for homeowners who schedule the recommended twice-yearly inspections.
Can a roof inspection help with insurance claims?
Yes. If storm damage is found, our inspection report includes date-stamped photos and detailed notes that satisfy most insurance carrier requirements. We can meet your adjuster onsite to point out damage, saving you time and improving the likelihood of a fair settlement. Many insurers even recommend routine inspections to keep policies in good standing.
