FAQs
Why should I schedule a certified roof inspection in Mountain City?
Mountain City’s combination of high-elevation UV exposure, heavy winter snow loads, and sudden summer storms puts unusual stress on roofing systems. A certified inspection identifies hidden damage—such as lifted shingles, compromised flashing, or early membrane deterioration—before small issues turn into costly leaks, mold growth, or structural rot. Our inspectors are credentialed by the NRCA (National Roofing Contractors Association) and trained to recognize regional weathering patterns, giving you reliable information to protect your home’s value and safety.
What does your certified roofing inspection include?
Our inspection is a 50-point evaluation that covers the entire roofing assembly, not just the surface shingles. We examine shingles or panels for hail bruising and granule loss, check flashing, drip edges, vents, and skylights for proper seals, inspect gutters for correct pitch and debris buildup, and assess the decking from the attic for moisture stains or sagging. We use infrared thermal imaging and moisture meters when necessary, and every customer receives a written report with photographs, condition grades, and prioritized repair recommendations.
How often should Mountain City homeowners have their roofs inspected?
The NRCA recommends a professional inspection at least once a year, plus an additional check after any severe weather event. In Mountain City’s climate, we suggest a spring inspection—after freeze-thaw cycles—and a fall inspection to prepare for winter snow. New roofs under warranty also benefit from annual documentation to keep manufacturer coverage valid.
Will a roof inspection help with my insurance claim after storm damage?
Yes. Insurance carriers usually require proof of storm-related damage within a set timeframe. Our certified inspectors document hail impact, wind uplift, and water intrusion with date-stamped photos, written measurements, and material samples if needed. The detailed report satisfies most insurer documentation requirements and can expedite claim approval, reducing the likelihood of underpayment or denial.
How long does a professional roof inspection take and will you need to access my attic?
A standard single-family home inspection takes 60–90 minutes. Larger or steep-slope roofs may require additional time for safety rigging. We do request attic access when possible; examining the underside of the decking, insulation, and ventilation dramatically improves the accuracy of moisture and structural assessments. All interior areas are protected with shoe covers and drop cloths during entry.
How much does a certified roof inspection cost in Mountain City and do I get a written report?
Our flat fee for residential properties up to 3,500 sq ft is $199, which includes travel within Mountain City and surrounding Carter and Johnson counties. Larger homes or commercial buildings are quoted individually. A comprehensive digital report—complete with annotated photos, thermal images when applicable, and repair estimates—arrives in your email within 24 hours. If you hire us to perform recommended repairs, we credit the full inspection fee toward the project.
