FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has storm damage?
Signs of storm damage can vary but commonly include missing or broken shingles, dents in metal roofing components, leaks or water stains on your ceiling, and granules from shingles accumulating in your gutters. An inspection from a professional roofer can provide a comprehensive assessment.
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof?
First, ensure your safety and avoid any areas that may have structural damage. Then, document the damage with photos and videos. Contact your insurance company to report the damage and reach out to a professional roofing contractor to perform a thorough inspection and begin temporary repairs if necessary.
Will my insurance cover the cost of roof repairs from storm damage?
Most homeowner's insurance policies cover storm damage to roofs, but the extent of coverage can vary. It's important to review your policy details and work with an experienced roofing contractor who can assist with the insurance claims process to ensure you receive fair coverage.
How long will it take to repair my roof after storm damage?
The time needed for repairs can depend on the extent of the damage, the size of your roof, weather conditions, and the availability of materials. Typically, minor repairs can take a few days, while more significant damage might require a week or more. Your contractor should provide a timeline after the initial inspection.
Can I make temporary repairs to prevent further damage?
Yes, temporary repairs such as tarping the roof or covering holes can help prevent further damage until professional repairs can be made. It is important that these temporary fixes are done safely and properly. It’s often best to have a professional handyman or roofer handle these temporary measures to avoid injury or improper repairs.
Why is it important to choose a local roofing contractor for storm damage restoration?
Choosing a local roofing contractor ensures that they are familiar with local building codes, weather patterns, and insurance requirements. Additionally, local contractors can provide quicker response times, have established relationships with suppliers, and offer better accountability and service post-repair.
