FAQs
Why should I hire a certified roof inspector instead of relying on a free roofing estimate?
A certified roof inspector has specialized training, carries the proper licensing and insurance, and follows nationally recognized inspection standards. While many contractors offer free estimates, those visits are often sales-oriented and may overlook hidden problems. Our certified inspectors in Johnson City provide an unbiased, comprehensive evaluation that identifies current damage, estimates remaining roof life, and recommends only the work that is truly necessary.
What does your Johnson City roof inspection include?
Our inspection is a 50-point checklist that covers the entire roofing system. We examine shingles, flashing, chimneys, ridge vents, gutters, attic ventilation, insulation, and structural decking. Inside the attic we check for moisture intrusion, mold, and inadequate airflow. Outside, we document hail, wind, UV, and age-related wear. You receive a written report with annotated photos, a maintenance plan, and an estimate for any repairs that may be needed.
How often should I schedule a professional roof inspection in Northeast Tennessee?
The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends a professional inspection twice a year—typically in the spring and fall—plus an extra check after major storms. In Johnson City, seasonal temperature swings, heavy rain, and occasional hail can accelerate roof wear, making regular inspections essential to catch minor issues before they become expensive repairs.
Will your inspection report help me file an insurance claim?
Yes. Our certified inspectors are trained in storm-damage assessment and produce reports that meet insurance carrier requirements. We include date-stamped photographs, damage diagrams, and repair estimates formatted for Xactimate, the software most adjusters use. This documentation often speeds up the claims process and maximizes the likelihood of coverage approval.
Do you use drone or thermal imaging during the inspection?
When roof slope, height, or condition makes walking unsafe, we deploy FAA-licensed drone technology for high-resolution imagery. We also offer optional infrared thermal scans that detect hidden moisture beneath shingles or in flat-roof membranes. These advanced tools allow us to spot leaks and insulation gaps without invasive testing, giving you a more complete picture of your roof’s health.
How long does a typical roof inspection take and what will it cost?
Most single-family homes in Johnson City take 60–90 minutes to inspect, with another hour dedicated to preparing your written report. Larger or more complex roofs may require additional time. Our standard residential inspection is $149, which is credited toward any repair work we perform. Commercial and multi-family pricing is available upon request.
