FAQs
What are the first steps I should take if my roof has been damaged during a storm?
If your roof has been damaged during a storm, the first thing to do is ensure your safety. Avoid going near the damaged area. Then, contact a professional roofing contractor to assess the damage. Document the damage with photos or videos, and contact your insurance company to start the claim process. Temporary repairs, like covering holes with tarps, may be necessary to prevent further damage.
How do I know if my roof has sustained storm damage?
Signs of storm damage can vary, but common indicators include missing shingles, dents on metal roofing, granules from shingles in your gutters, water leaks in your attic, and visible damage to roof flashing or vents. It’s advisable to have a professional roofing inspection to thoroughly assess and identify any storm-related damages.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover the cost of storm damage repairs?
Most homeowner's insurance policies cover storm damage, including wind, hail, and falling debris. However, coverage details can vary, so it’s essential to review your policy and consult with your insurance provider. They will guide you through the claims process and determine the extent of your coverage. Having a detailed assessment from a roofing contractor can help facilitate your claim.
How long will the roof repair or replacement process take?
The duration of roof repairs or replacements depends on the extent of the damage and the size of your roof. Minor repairs may be completed within a few days, while a full roof replacement can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. Additional time may be required for weather delays, permitting, and insurance approvals. A detailed timeline will be provided by your roofing contractor after an initial assessment.
Can I perform the roof repairs myself?
While minor repairs might seem manageable, storm damage often requires professional expertise to ensure the repairs are done correctly and safely. Roofing work can be dangerous, and improper repairs can lead to further damage and potential voiding of your warranty. It’s best to hire a qualified roofing contractor who can provide proper assessments, repairs, and liaise with your insurance company.
What materials and warranties do you offer for roof repairs and replacements?
We offer a variety of high-quality roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and tiles, each with their benefits in durability and aesthetics. We work with leading manufacturers who provide warranties ranging from 20 to 50 years, depending on the material and product. Our workmanship also comes with a warranty to ensure peace of mind and reliable service.
