Free roof inspection in Nashville

What an inspection covers

• Shingles: missing, cracked, lifted or bare of granules.
• Flashing at walls, chimneys and valleys.
• Pipe boots and vents, which crack in summer heat.
• Gutters full of granules, a sign of hail or age.
• The attic: daylight, wet wood or stains.

The state insurance department tells homeowners to document damage with photos or video (TDCI storm tips). Ask the roofer for every photo with the date on it.

Why some inspections are free

Roofers inspect for free because the visit often leads to the repair or the new roof. That is a fair trade if you know it going in.

The catch comes after storms. The state warns about door-to-door crews offering repairs (TDCI storm tips). Every roofer we send holds an active Tennessee license. The license lookup page shows how to confirm any other.

After the inspection

Compare the findings with the prices on the roof repair page. If the roofer says you need a new roof, check the replacement costs before you agree.
