FAQs
What are some signs that my roof has storm damage?
Common indicators include missing or torn shingles, dents on your shingles or metal components, loose or damaged flashing, and leaks or water stains in your attic or ceiling. You might also notice granules in your gutters or downspouts, indicating worn shingles. If you see any of these warning signs, consider scheduling a professional inspection as soon as possible.
Why is it important to get a professional roof inspection after a storm?
Professional inspectors know exactly what to look for and can identify even small or hidden issues that may escalate over time. They use specialized tools and have the expertise to accurately assess the extent of damage. Prompt inspections help you start repairs quickly, which can prevent further damage, maintain the integrity of your home, and simplify insurance claims.
Will my homeowners insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
Most standard homeowners insurance policies include coverage for wind, hail, and other common storm-related damages. However, coverage specifics vary by policy and insurance company. It’s best to consult your policy or speak with your insurance provider to confirm your coverage details. A thorough, documented inspection report can also be helpful for filing a successful claim.
How is the roof inspection and repair process typically carried out?
A trained professional will first check for visible signs of damage, ensuring the entire roof surface and its components are inspected. They will document and photograph any issues to help with insurance reports. If repairs or replacements are needed, the roofing company will provide a written estimate, work with your insurance adjuster if needed, and then proceed with repairs once the scope of work is approved.
How quickly should I schedule a roof inspection after a storm?
It’s best to schedule an inspection as soon as you suspect any damage. Waiting too long can worsen existing damage, increase repair costs, and complicate any insurance claims you make. Scheduling an inspection promptly ensures you can address issues before they develop into large-scale problems.
Can I prevent future storm damage to my roof?
While you can’t completely avoid unpredictable weather, proactive measures like installing impact-resistant shingles, regularly cleaning gutters, trimming overhanging branches, and scheduling routine inspections can help reduce the likelihood of major damage. Keeping up with maintenance helps extend the lifespan of your roof and ensures it’s in the best condition to withstand severe weather.
