FAQs
What should I do immediately after a storm has damaged my roof in Decatur?
After a storm has damaged your roof, prioritize safety first. Avoid going near any electrical hazards or unstable structures. Document the damage with photos or videos for insurance purposes and contact a professional roofing company for an inspection and temporary repairs to prevent further damage.
How can I tell if my roof has storm damage?
Signs of storm damage to your roof include missing or damaged shingles, visible leaks or water stains on your ceiling, dented or cracked flashing, and debris on the roof. Also, look for granules in gutters or downspouts, as this may indicate significant shingle damage.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of storm damage repairs?
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover storm damage repairs. It's important to review your policy and understand your coverage limits and deductibles. Filing a claim promptly and providing thorough documentation can help expedite the process. Additionally, our roofing specialists can assist you in dealing with the insurance company to ensure you receive the coverage you need.
How long does it take to repair or replace a storm-damaged roof?
The time required to repair or replace a storm-damaged roof varies based on the extent of the damage and the size of your roof. Minor repairs might take a few hours to a day, while a full roof replacement can take several days. We always provide an estimated timeline after the initial inspection.
What materials do you use for storm damage roof repair in Decatur?
We use high-quality, durable materials suited for the specific needs of your roof. These include asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and modified bitumen, among others. Our choice of materials depends on the existing roof type, the extent of the damage, and your preferences for durability and aesthetics.
Can I stay in my home during the roof repair or replacement process?
In most cases, you can stay in your home during roof repair or replacement. However, for extensive damage requiring significant structural work or if there are safety concerns, it might be necessary to relocate temporarily. We always prioritize clear communication and safety to minimize disruptions to your daily life.
