FAQs
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Signs of storm damage can include missing or torn shingles, dented metal panels, damaged flashing, water stains on ceilings or walls, and debris on the roof. If you notice any of these indicators or experience leaks, it’s best to schedule a professional inspection to assess the damage properly.
What should I do immediately after my roof is damaged in a storm?
First, ensure your safety by staying away from any areas with potential hazards, such as leaning trees or exposed wires. Next, document the damage with photos or videos and contact your insurance company to report the incident. Finally, schedule a professional roofing contractor for an emergency roof repair or temporary tarp installation to prevent additional issues.
How do I handle an insurance claim for storm damage?
Start by reviewing your homeowner’s insurance policy to understand what is covered. Document all visible damage and storm-related conditions with photographs. Contact your insurance provider to open a claim and follow their instructions for scheduling an adjuster’s visit. A reputable roofing contractor can also work with your insurance adjuster to ensure you receive a fair assessment and can help guide you through the claim process.
Is roof damage from storms typically covered by homeowner’s insurance?
In many cases, storm damage—including wind, hail, and fallen debris—may be covered by homeowner’s insurance. However, coverage specifics depend on your individual policy and any exclusions it may contain. Always review your policy details or consult your insurance agent to confirm what is covered and determine whether you need additional endorsements for certain storm-related hazards.
How long does it usually take to repair or replace a storm-damaged roof?
Repair timelines vary based on factors such as the extent of the damage, the size of the roof, weather conditions, and material availability. Minor repairs may take just a few hours, while a full roof replacement can take several days or longer. Your roofing contractor can provide a project estimate and timeline during the initial inspection.
Should I get a roof inspection even if the damage is not immediately visible?
Absolutely. Storm damage is not always noticeable from the ground, and even small, unseen issues can lead to more serious problems over time. A professional roof inspection can identify hidden damage—such as compromised flashing or loose shingles—and help prevent costly repairs by addressing them early.
