FAQs
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Signs of storm damage can vary based on the type of storm. Common indicators include missing or broken shingles, dents in metal roofing, leaks inside your home, visible water stains on ceilings or walls, and debris on the roof. It's important to conduct a thorough inspection both from the ground and, if safe, a closer look with professional help to properly assess the damage.
What should I do immediately after a storm hits?
After a storm, prioritize safety by avoiding downed power lines and checking for immediate hazards. Document the damage with photos and videos, then contact a professional roofing contractor to conduct a thorough inspection. Additionally, inform your insurance company to start the claims process as promptly as possible.
Will my homeowners insurance cover the roof repair costs?
Most standard homeowners insurance policies cover roof damage caused by natural disasters like storms, hail, or high winds, minus your deductible. Coverage specifics can vary, so it's important to review your policy details or contact your insurance agent for confirmation and clarification.
How long does the storm damage restoration process take?
The duration of the restoration process depends on the extent of the damage and the complexity of the repairs needed. Minor repairs may take a few days to complete, while significant damage could take several weeks. Scheduling, weather conditions, and inspection periods by insurance adjusters can also affect the timeline.
Can storm damage be repaired, or does the roof need to be replaced?
Whether your roof needs repairs or a full replacement depends on the extent of the storm damage. Minor damage such as a few missing shingles can often be repaired, while severe damage affecting structural integrity, widespread leaks, or extensive shingle damage might necessitate a full roof replacement. A professional assessment is crucial to making this determination.
Why should I hire a professional roofing contractor for storm damage repairs?
Hiring a professional roofing contractor ensures that the damage is thoroughly assessed and expertly repaired, preserving your home's safety and structural integrity. Professionals have the experience, tools, and materials needed to handle storm damage effectively. They can also help you navigate the insurance claims process, ensuring you receive proper compensation for necessary repairs.
