FAQs
What does a thorough roof inspection in Walland include?
Our comprehensive inspection covers every component of your roofing system. We examine shingles or metal panels for damage, check flashing around chimneys and vents, inspect gutters and downspouts for proper drainage, evaluate attic ventilation and insulation, look for signs of leaks or moisture intrusion, and assess structural elements such as decking and rafters. You receive a detailed written report with high-resolution photos and recommended next steps.
How often should I have my roof inspected in the Walland area?
Because Blount County experiences seasonal temperature swings, heavy rains, and occasional hail, we recommend a professional inspection twice a year—once in the spring after winter weather and again in the fall before cold season sets in. You should also schedule an inspection after any major storm event or if you notice signs like missing shingles, water stains on ceilings, or granules in your gutters.
How long does a typical roof inspection take?
Most residential inspections in Walland take 60–90 minutes. Larger homes, steep-slope roofs, or complex features such as multiple valleys, skylights, or solar panels may require up to two hours. We take the time needed to document every detail without rushing, ensuring you receive an accurate assessment.
Will the inspector get on the roof, or is it done from the ground?
Whenever it is safe, our certified inspectors physically walk the roof to examine materials up close and probe any suspicious areas. We also use drones and telescoping cameras for hard-to-reach sections or when safety is a concern. Ground-level observations alone can miss hidden damage, so hands-on inspection is a key part of our service.
How much does a roof inspection cost, and is there a fee if repairs are needed?
Our standard residential roof inspection starts at $149, which includes the full written report, photos, and a follow-up consultation. If you hire us to perform any recommended repairs exceeding $750, we credit the inspection fee toward the repair cost, making the inspection effectively free.
What is the difference between your roofing inspection and a general home inspection?
General home inspectors look at every system in a house but usually spend limited time on the roof and often don’t walk it. Our specialists focus solely on roofing and related components, using industry-specific tools such as moisture meters, infrared cameras, and drones. We identify subtle issues—like early membrane deterioration, improper flashing laps, or ventilation imbalances—that a generalist might overlook, giving you a more accurate picture of your roof’s condition.
