FAQs
Why is a professional roof inspection important in Townsend’s climate?
Townsend experiences a mix of hot, humid summers, heavy rains, and occasional snow or ice in winter—all of which can accelerate shingle wear, loosen flashing, and create hidden leaks. A professional inspection identifies early signs of damage, moisture intrusion, or structural weakness that you may not notice from the ground, allowing you to fix problems before they become costly repairs or lead to interior water damage.
How often should I schedule a roof inspection for my Townsend home?
Industry guidelines recommend a professional inspection at least once a year and after any major weather event—especially storms with high winds or hail. If your roof is over 15 years old, or you have trees overhanging your roof, consider twice-a-year inspections (spring and fall) to catch age-related deterioration and debris buildup early.
What does your Townsend roof inspection include?
Our certified inspectors perform a full exterior and interior evaluation. Outside, we examine shingles, flashing, ridge caps, chimneys, vents, gutters, and skylights for damage or improper installation. Inside, we enter the attic to check insulation, ventilation, roof decking, and signs of leaks or mold. You’ll receive a detailed digital report with photos, a condition rating, and prioritized repair or maintenance recommendations.
Will a roof inspection help me with my homeowners insurance claim?
Yes. Insurance companies often require documented proof of damage and the roof’s condition before approving a claim. Our inspection report includes time-stamped photos and professional notes that satisfy most insurers’ documentation standards, improving your chances of a quick, fair settlement for storm or hail damage in Townsend.
Can you inspect roofs during winter or right after a storm in Townsend?
Absolutely. We have safety protocols and specialized equipment (non-slip shoes, harnesses, drone cameras) that allow us to perform inspections in cold weather or immediately after a storm when conditions are safe. Prompt assessments help prevent minor issues—like lifted shingles or ice-dam leaks—from turning into major structural repairs.
How much does a roof inspection cost, and is the estimate free?
A stand-alone roof inspection typically ranges from $125 to $250 depending on roof size and complexity. If you hire us to perform any recommended repairs, we credit the inspection fee toward the repair cost. All post-inspection estimates for repair or replacement are free and include a written price guarantee valid for 30 days.
