Tucker · DeKalb County · Retail
This is the Tucker page for roof inspection. The short version: you want an honest read on the roof's condition before buying, selling, insuring, or filing a claim, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteRoofs here tend to go longer between inspections, so damage from two or three storms ago is often still sitting there when someone finally looks. This is the edge of the hail belt: storms are less frequent than up the I-35 corridor, but the ones that arrive are the same size. Additions from later decades were often tied into the original roof without proper flashing; those seams are where the leaks live.
What it costs in Tucker: many roofers inspect free in hopes of a job; a paid independent inspection removes that incentive and is worth it for real estate transactions or insurance disputes.
Georgia doesn't issue a roofing-specific license — most roofing falls under the state's Residential-Basic or General Contractor license once a job crosses the state's licensing threshold. We check that license, insurance, and standing with the state board before a roofer ever sees a lead.
How it works
In Florida, for any roof over 15 years old, effectively yes — carriers want a report showing five or more years of remaining life. In Texas it's less formal but increasingly common on older roofs.
For surface condition, yes, and it's safer on steep or tile roofs. It can't check nail pull-through or feel for soft decking, so it's a complement to a physical inspection, not a replacement, when the roof is questionable.

Tucker is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
