FAQs
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
After a storm, look for common signs of damage such as missing or broken shingles, dents in metal roofing, leaks or water stains in the attic or ceiling, and debris on the roof. For a thorough assessment, it's best to have a professional roofing contractor perform a detailed inspection.
Will my insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
Most homeowners' insurance policies cover storm-related roof damage. It's important to review your policy and understand the extent of your coverage. Document the damage with photos and contact your insurance provider as soon as possible to file a claim.
How long do I have to file an insurance claim for storm damage?
Insurance policies vary, but many require you to file a claim within a specific timeframe after the storm, often between 30 to 60 days. Check your policy for exact details and don't delay in starting the claim process.
Can I perform the repairs myself?
While minor repairs might be tempting to handle on your own, storm damage can sometimes be more extensive than it appears. Professional roofing contractors have the expertise to identify and fix all damage properly, ensuring your roof remains safe and functional.
What should I do immediately after a storm to protect my roof from further damage?
After ensuring your safety, cover any visible leaks with a tarp or plastic sheeting to prevent water intrusion. Avoid walking on the roof if possible, as it could be unsafe. Contact a professional roofer promptly to assess and address any damage.
How long will the restoration process take?
The duration of the restoration process depends on factors such as the extent of the damage, weather conditions, and the availability of materials. Generally, a professional roofer can give you an estimated timeline after an initial inspection, which for most repairs can range from a few days to a few weeks.
