Step by step
- You call or text. A photo from the ground helps. So does the street and when the storm came through.
- We come out. Fast is the whole name. If the roof is leaking now, that is the same day.
- We get on the roof. Every slope, walked. Not binoculars from the driveway.
- We photograph everything. Hail hits, creases, lifted seals, the boots and the flashing, and the parts that are fine.
- You get the photographs and a written answer. Repair, claim, or leave it alone, with the estimate if there is one.
- If it is a claim, you file it. Your policy, your name. Then we meet the adjuster on the roof with the pictures.
Why unlimited
Because a roof takes a storm every spring in Louisville, and the roof that was fine in March is not always fine in June. The Weather Service logged nine damaging storms here in the last thirty months. Call after every one. If it is still fine, you hear that too, for free, as many times as it takes.
We would rather look ten times than have you find out from the ceiling.
What the inspection is not
It is not a sales visit. Nobody leaves an estimate on your kitchen table for a roof that does not need one. If a repair costs less than your deductible, it is a repair, and we quote it as one.
Free roof inspections, as many as you need, all year. Fast. Honest. Elite. That's the whole promise: we come out fast, we tell you what we found and show you the pictures, then if your roof is fine we say so. Storm damage, repairs, full replacements, siding, gutters, soffit and fascia, throughout Louisville. A roof that keeps the weather out, and the photographs to carry the claim.
Questions people ask
A storm just came through. What do I do?
Call (502) 915-9758 or text a photo of what you can see from the ground. We come out, get on the roof, photograph everything, and tell you straight whether it is a repair, a claim or nothing at all. The inspection is free, every time.
Do you handle the insurance claim?
We do the part a roofer is allowed to do, and all of it. We photograph the damage, give you a written estimate, and once you have filed we meet your adjuster on the roof and walk them through what we found. Kentucky law leaves the negotiating to you or a licensed public adjuster, and we would not have it any other way. How a claim goes, step by step.
What does the free inspection cover?
The whole roof, the flashing, the vents and boots, the gutters, the siding, the soffit and fascia. You get the photographs and a plain answer. Unlimited, year round.
What shingles do you install?
GAF, CertainTeed and Owens Corning. Our inspectors carry certifications from all three.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. Every time, all year, and there is no catch. If the roof is fine, you hear that too.
I already have an estimate. Will you look at it?
Bring it. We look at the roof and the estimate and tell you straight.
Where do you work?
Louisville and the area around it. Not sure if that's you? Call and ask.
