FAQs
Why are roof inspections especially important in Whitwell’s mixed mountain weather?
Whitwell experiences rapid weather swings—strong UV exposure, high winds, heavy rains, hail, and occasional snow or ice. These extremes expand and contract roofing materials more aggressively than in milder climates, accelerating wear and creating hidden leaks. Regular inspections catch small issues before mountain-weather stress turns them into costly structural or interior water damage.
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in this area?
Homeowners in Whitwell should have a full professional inspection at least once a year, plus an extra check after any major storm involving hail, high winds, or heavy snow. Commercial or vacation properties that sit unoccupied for long stretches benefit from a spring and fall inspection so seasonal damage is addressed promptly.
What does your mixed-mountain-weather inspection include?
Our technicians perform a 50-point check: exterior review of shingles, metal panels, flashings, ridge caps, and fasteners; gutter and downspout integrity; chimney, skylight, and vent flashing; fascia/soffit condition; attic moisture and insulation levels; infrared scan for hidden leaks; and drone imagery for hard-to-see valleys and steep pitches. You receive a photo-documented report with prioritized repair recommendations.
Will the inspection disrupt my daily routine?
No. Most residential inspections take 60–90 minutes. We use ladder stabilizers, drone cameras, and walk-pads to minimize contact with landscaping and roofing surfaces. You can remain inside the home while we work, and we’ll review findings with you on-site or via a digital conference afterward.
How much does a roof inspection cost in Whitwell?
A standard residential inspection starts at $149, which includes the detailed report, drone images, and moisture scan. If repairs are needed and you hire us to complete them, the inspection fee is credited toward the repair invoice. Emergency post-storm inspections within 24 hours carry a $50 premium to cover expedited crew deployment.
What signs indicate I should call for an inspection sooner than scheduled?
Contact us immediately if you notice missing or curled shingles after a wind event, granules collecting in gutters, interior ceiling stains, ice dams along eaves, unexplained attic moisture, or sudden spikes in energy bills. These are early indicators of weather-related roof failure that can escalate quickly in Whitwell’s mountain climate.
