FAQs
What does your 25-point roof inspection in Mountain City include?
Our technician follows a detailed 25-item checklist that covers every critical roof component. We examine shingles or metal panels for wear, flashing around chimneys and valleys, sealant integrity, attic ventilation, insulation levels, decking moisture content, gutter alignment, downspout flow, skylight seals, roof penetrations, fastener security, storm-damage indicators, and more. You receive a written report with photos and condition grades for each of the 25 points so you can see exactly what we found.
Why is a 25-point inspection better than a quick visual check?
A simple curbside look or drone flyover can miss hidden problems—loose flashing, saturated decking, or small punctures—that eventually cause leaks. Our 25-point inspection uses hands-on testing, moisture meters, and infrared scans to uncover issues early. Catching problems at the micro level saves Mountain City homeowners from expensive structural repairs and mold remediation down the road.
How often should Mountain City homeowners schedule a roof inspection?
With our high-elevation UV exposure, dramatic temperature swings, and frequent wind events, we recommend a professional inspection at least once a year—preferably every spring after winter freeze-thaw cycles. If your roof is older than 10 years, after any hail or windstorm, or if you notice interior stains, schedule an inspection immediately.
Will the inspection disrupt my daily routine?
Not at all. A standard 25-point inspection takes 60–90 minutes, and you don’t have to be on the roof with us. We simply need access to the attic and power for our diagnostic tools. There’s minimal noise, no mess, and no interruption to your household or business activities.
What happens if the inspection reveals damage or shortcomings?
You’ll receive a prioritized action plan that separates urgent repairs from preventative maintenance. We document each finding with photos, explain potential consequences, and provide transparent cost estimates. You are free to hire us, another contractor, or handle minor tasks yourself—there’s zero obligation. If hail or wind damage is present, we assist with insurance documentation as well.
How much does a 25-point roof inspection cost and am I obligated to buy a new roof?
For Mountain City residents, our flat rate is $149 for single-family homes under 4,000 sq ft; commercial or larger properties are quoted upfront. The fee is waived if you hire us for follow-up repairs over $750 within 60 days. Booking the inspection does not commit you to any additional service—our goal is to provide clear information so you can make an informed decision.
