Purchasing a Home

If you’re buying a home in East Tennessee, getting the roof inspected should be a top priority. We offer roof inspections for homebuyers that are thorough, fast, and realtor-friendly, with two report options to fit your needs.

We serve Knoxville, Farragut, Oak Ridge, Maryville, and surrounding East Tennessee communities.

Improper chimney and pipe flashing

1. Email-style report (basic)

A quick, direct overview of the roof’s condition — for buyers or agents who need fast answers. It gives a clear recommendation, for example whether repairs would cost enough relative to a replacement that replacing the roof is the better choice.

Includes:

  • Repair or replacement recommendations
  • Quotes with linked product references
  • Photo download links
  • A written cost estimate for the work
  • Guidance for the real estate transaction
Code violations (ventilation, ridge vent, drip edge, etc.)

2. Full inspection report (comprehensive)

A deep dive into the roof’s structure, condition, and compliance with local building codes. A sample report covers:

  • Roof type and age — e.g. asphalt, 13 years old
  • Overall condition — e.g. good, with needed repairs
  • Key issues — e.g. improper chimney and pipe flashing; code violations such as ventilation, ridge vent, and drip edge; poor attic ventilation and moisture risk; gutter deficiencies affecting drainage
  • Estimated repair and replacement costs for that specific roof
  • Remaining lifespan if repaired — e.g. 10–15 years

“This roof could last another 10–15 years, but due to code issues and cumulative repair costs, full replacement is often the most cost-effective route.” — Daniel A. Hood
