Most professional roof inspections in Lehigh range from $150 to $350, depending on your roof’s size and complexity. At AKM Roofing, we provide free estimates and will discuss inspection costs upfront with no surprises. The cost depends on factors like your roof’s size, pitch, and accessibility. A single-story home with a simple roofline costs less to inspect than a multi-story home with multiple angles and features. We’ll give you an exact price before we start any work. Keep in mind that a professional inspection often pays for itself by catching small problems before they become major repairs. It’s also required documentation for many insurance claims and renewals, making it a smart investment in your home’s protection.
In Florida’s harsh climate, we recommend annual roof inspections, with additional inspections after major storms. The combination of intense heat, heavy rains, and hurricane-force winds puts unique stress on roofing systems that other climates don’t experience. Spring is the ideal time for your annual inspection—before hurricane season begins and while you have time to address any issues we find. After storms like Hurricane Milton, it’s crucial to have your roof inspected even if you don’t see obvious damage from the ground. Many insurance companies now require regular inspections to maintain coverage, especially for roofs over 10 years old. Having current inspection documentation can help prevent coverage issues and support claims if damage occurs.
Routine maintenance inspections are typically not covered by insurance, but storm damage inspections often are. If you’re filing a claim after hurricane or severe weather damage, the inspection cost is usually included in your claim settlement. For insurance renewals or coverage requirements, you’ll typically pay for the inspection yourself. However, this cost is often offset by potential insurance discounts for homes with recent professional inspections and proper maintenance documentation. We provide detailed reports that meet insurance company requirements and can help support your claims process. Our documentation has helped many Lehigh homeowners get fair settlements after storm damage, making the inspection cost a worthwhile investment.
If we discover issues during your inspection, we’ll document everything with photos and provide clear explanations of what needs attention. You’ll get a prioritized list of repairs—what needs immediate attention versus what can be planned for later. We’ll give you realistic timelines and cost estimates for any necessary work. There’s no pressure to hire us for repairs—our job is to give you accurate information so you can make informed decisions about your roof’s maintenance. For insurance-related issues, we’ll provide all the documentation you need to support claims. We’ve helped many Lehigh homeowners navigate the insurance process, especially after events like Hurricane Milton, and we know what documentation insurance companies require.
Absolutely. We’ve been helping Lehigh homeowners assess and document Hurricane Milton damage since the storm passed. We understand the specific types of damage this storm caused and know what insurance companies are looking for in damage assessments. Our inspection will document all storm-related damage with detailed photos and descriptions that support your insurance claim. We’ll identify obvious damage like missing shingles or damaged flashing, plus hidden issues that might not be visible from the ground. Time is important with storm damage claims, so we prioritize post-storm inspections to help homeowners get their claims filed quickly. We’ll provide all the documentation your insurance company needs and can work with your adjuster to ensure nothing gets overlooked.
Most residential roof inspections take 1-2 hours, depending on your roof’s size and complexity. We don’t rush through inspections—we take the time needed to thoroughly examine every component of your roofing system. A single-story home with a simple roofline might take an hour, while a larger home with multiple levels, chimneys, and complex features could take longer. We’ll give you an estimated timeframe when we schedule your appointment. You’ll receive your detailed report within 24-48 hours of the inspection, complete with photos and our professional recommendations. If there are urgent issues that need immediate attention, we’ll discuss those with you before we leave your property.
