"The inspector overwhelmed my expectations in that he went way beyond the work which I wanted done. Example, I called him to inspect one bathroom. At no extra charge, he inspected the kitchen and two other bathrooms. He also educated me of many items of which I was ignorant. The time which he spent here, as well, way surpassed my expectations. He is quite polite to boot."

"I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Thurman Roofing & Construction, and especially Cody. My 78-year-old mom was told by another roofing company that she needed a complete new roof. Naturally, we were concerned and decided to get another professional opinion before moving forward. Cody came out, took the time to inspect her roof, answered all of her questions, and treated her with incredible patience, kindness, and respect. Most importantly, he was honest: she does not need a new roof. He essentially talked himself out of a sale. In a world where seniors can unfortunately be easy targets for unnecessary repairs and high-pressure sales tactics, Cody's integrity meant more to us than I can adequately put into words. He could have easily sold my mom something she didn't need. Instead, he gave her an honest assessment and told her that if she really wanted a new roof, he'd certainly be happy to help—but she doesn't need one. 😂 That kind of honesty is rare!"

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

It is generally not safe to live in a house with smoke damage, as even minor damage can pose long-term health hazards and structural risks. While it might seem safe temporarily depending on the severity, you should relocate if there is major damage or visible soot. Smoke smells and residue contain dangerous particulates and chemical compounds, including carcinogens, that are hazardous to breathe and can cause respiratory issues. These signs of damage are not always visible but can have dangerous short-term and long-term effects on your health, belongings, and your home's structural materials. You should not stay in the house until a trained professional from a smoke remediation or restoration company has assessed the damage and determined it is safe to return. Your insurance company may cover the cost of alternative housing while the professional work is completed.

You can start inspecting your roof from the ground by looking for unevenness in the roof lines and slopes. Keep an eye out for broken, damaged, or missing shingles, and look for visible gaps where the roofing material meets exterior walls or roof penetrations, like your chimney. If you’re comfortable getting up on your roof and using the necessary safety equipment, you can get a closer look at these areas to identify signs of damage. If you notice any potential issues, it’s best to call in a professional to confirm your findings.

After you pass your wind mitigation inspection, you’ll receive a report you can send to your insurance company when you request a discount. This report is valid for five years. If you switch providers within that five-year window, your new insurer may ask you to get another inspection if you want a discounted premium.

A standard roof inspection typically takes one to two hours. The exact duration can vary, ranging from as little as 30 minutes to as long as four hours, depending on several factors. These include the roof's size, complexity, condition, and accessibility. Inspections for very large homes or those with extensive damage will take longer. It's a good practice to ask for a time estimate when you hire an inspector to ensure enough time is allotted for a thorough evaluation.

A home inspection typically takes between two and three hours, though the total time can range from 30 minutes to half a day. The exact duration depends on several factors, including the home's size, age, condition, and location. Other variables that can affect the timeline are the complexity of the layout, the accessibility of various components, the size of the surrounding grounds, the inspector's experience, and whether it is a full home inspection or a more limited structural inspection. For a more accurate time estimate, you can ask your potential home inspector to review the specifications of the home beforehand. You should receive the completed inspection report within one to four days of the inspection.
