FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has been damaged by a storm?
Signs of storm damage include missing shingles, granule loss, dents on shingles or gutters, leaks inside the home, visible water stains, and mold or mildew growth. It's advisable to have a professional inspection to accurately assess the extent of the damage.
What steps should I take immediately after a storm damages my roof?
First, ensure your safety by avoiding any damaged areas. Document the damage with photos and notes. Contact your insurance company to start the claims process. Then, call a professional roofing contractor for an inspection and temporary repairs to prevent further damage.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
Most homeowner's insurance policies cover storm damage, but it depends on the specifics of your policy and the type of storm. It's important to review your policy and consult your insurance company to understand your coverage and any deductibles that may apply.
How long does the storm damage restoration process take?
The duration of the restoration process depends on the extent of the damage, weather conditions, and the availability of materials and contractors. While minor repairs might take a few days, significant damage could take several weeks. Your contractor can provide a more accurate timeline after an inspection.
Can I stay in my home during roof repairs?
In most cases, you can stay in your home during roof repairs, but it might be noisy and disruptive. If extensive structural repairs are needed or if there’s a safety concern, you may need to temporarily relocate. Your contractor will advise you based on the specific situation.
What should I look for in a roofing contractor for storm damage restoration?
Choose a contractor with a strong reputation, verified experience in storm damage restoration, proper licensing and insurance, and positive customer reviews. It’s also helpful if they have experience working with insurance companies to handle claims efficiently. Always request a detailed written estimate before starting any work.
