Post-storm inspections focus on functional damage: hail test squares where strikes are suspected, crease checks on windward slopes, and documentation suitable for an insurance file. Cobb County's record includes golf-ball hail and an EF-1 tornado on 2 March 2012 and 1.00-inch hail at Due West on 12 September 2023, so we know what genuine local storm damage looks like — and we report honestly when a roof came through fine, which happens more often than storm-season advertising suggests.
For buyers, an inspection answers the questions a home inspection often leaves vague: remaining shingle life, layer count — Georgia allows a maximum of two — flashing condition, and any active leak evidence. Sellers use our photo report to fix small items before listing or to disclose condition credibly. Owners of aging roofs get a maintenance roadmap: what to repair now within typical October 2026 repair ranges of $300–$1,500, what to monitor, and when replacement budgeting should begin.
Every inspection ends with dated photographs, a written condition summary, and — only where work is genuinely needed — a written quote priced from measured roof area. October 2026 context: architectural shingle replacement runs $4.50–$7.00 per square foot installed with typical jobs at $12,000–$22,000, so early findings protect real money. Georgia does not license roofers, so ask any inspector for business licence and insurance documents; we show ours on request.
