FAQs
What should I do immediately after a storm has damaged my roof?
After a storm, ensure your safety first. Once it is safe to do so, inspect your property for obvious damage from the ground. Document any visible damage with photos and check for leaks inside your home. It is important to promptly contact a professional roofing contractor for a thorough inspection and temporary repairs to prevent further damage. Also, notify your insurance company to start the claim process.
How can I tell if my roof has been damaged by a storm?
Signs of storm damage include missing or broken shingles, damaged flashing, dents on metal roofing or gutters, water stains on your ceiling, and debris such as branches on the roof. If you notice these signs, it’s important to schedule a professional inspection to assess the extent of the damage and determine the necessary repairs.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover the cost of storm damage roof repairs?
Most homeowner's insurance policies cover storm-related damage; however, coverage can vary. Review your policy details or contact your insurance provider to understand your coverage. Having detailed documentation of the damage and repair estimates from a certified contractor can help support your claim.
How long will it take to repair my roof after a storm?
The timeline for roof repairs can vary depending on the severity of the damage, the size of the roof, weather conditions, and contractor availability. A minor repair may take a few days, while extensive damage requiring full roof replacement could take several weeks. Your contractor will provide a more accurate timeline after assessing the damage.
What steps do you take in restoring a storm-damaged roof?
Our restoration process begins with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the damage. We document everything and work with your insurance company to ensure the necessary repairs are covered. Our team then performs any temporary repairs to prevent further damage, followed by permanent repairs or roof replacement, keeping you informed through every step of the process.
How can I prevent future storm damage to my roof?
Regular maintenance, such as clearing debris, trimming overhanging branches, and inspecting for loose or damaged shingles, can help protect your roof. Consider installing impact-resistant roofing materials during replacement. Additionally, ensuring proper attic ventilation can reduce the risk of storm damage by maintaining roof integrity. Regular professional inspections can also help identify potential issues before they become significant problems.
