FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has been damaged by a storm?
Signs of storm damage on your roof may include missing or broken shingles, dents in metal components, leaks, water stains on your ceiling, and debris accumulation. It's advisable to have a professional roofing contractor inspect your roof for less obvious damage that could compromise its integrity.
What steps should I take immediately after a storm to protect my roof?
First, ensure your safety by checking for downed power lines or other hazards. Document the damage with photos and videos. Cover any exposed areas with a tarp to prevent further water damage. Contact your insurance company to initiate a claim, and then call a professional roofing contractor to inspect and begin repairs.
Does homeowners insurance cover roof damage caused by storms?
Most homeowners insurance policies cover roof damage caused by storms, including wind, hail, and falling debris. However, coverage can vary depending on your policy terms and conditions. It's best to review your insurance policy and speak with your agent to understand what is covered.
How do I choose the right roofing contractor in Athens for storm damage restoration?
Look for a licensed and insured roofing contractor with a good reputation and positive reviews. Ask for recommendations, verify credentials, and request a detailed written estimate. A reliable contractor should also be experienced in working with insurance claims and able to assist you through the entire restoration process.
How long does it take to repair or replace a storm-damaged roof?
The duration of roof repair or replacement depends on the extent of the damage, the size of your roof, and weather conditions. Minor repairs may take a few hours to a day, while a complete roof replacement can take several days to a week. Your contractor can provide a more accurate timeline after a thorough inspection.
What should I do if I discover a leak in my roof after a storm?
If you discover a leak, act quickly to minimize water damage. Place buckets or containers under the leak to catch any water. Remove or cover any belongings that could be damaged. Contact a professional roofing contractor for an emergency tarp service to stop the leak temporarily and schedule a full inspection and repair as soon as possible.
