FAQs
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
After a storm, inspect your roof for visible signs of damage, such as missing shingles, cracked tiles, or debris on the roof. Inside your home, look for water stains, leaks, or damp spots on ceilings and walls. It can also be beneficial to have a professional roofing contractor conduct a thorough inspection for less obvious issues.
What should I do immediately after my roof has been damaged by a storm?
First, ensure the safety of your household. Next, document the damage using photos and videos, and contact your insurance company to report the damage. Finally, secure temporary repairs if needed, such as tarping the roof, to prevent further damage until professional help can arrive.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover the cost of storm damage repair?
Most homeowner's insurance policies cover storm damage, but it's important to review your specific policy. Coverage can vary depending on your location, the age and condition of your roof, and the specifics of the damage. It's best to contact your insurer directly to understand the extent of your coverage.
How long does the storm damage restoration process take?
The duration of the restoration process depends on the extent of the damage. Minor repairs could take a few days, whereas extensive repairs or full roof replacements could take a week or more. This timeline also includes the time needed for getting insurance approvals and selecting materials.
Can storm-damaged roofs be repaired, or will I need a full replacement?
Whether your roof requires repair or replacement depends on the severity and extent of the damage. Minor damages, such as a few missing shingles or small leaks, can often be repaired. However, if the damage is extensive or the integrity of the roof has been compromised, a full replacement might be necessary. A professional roofing contractor can provide an accurate assessment.
How can I prevent future storm damage to my roof?
Regular maintenance and inspections are key to preventing future damage. Keep your roof clear of debris, ensure gutters and downspouts are clean, and replace any damaged or missing shingles promptly. Additionally, consider investing in high-quality, storm-resistant roofing materials if you live in an area prone to severe weather.
