FAQs
How do I know if my roof has been damaged by a storm?
After a storm, inspect your roof for visible signs of damage such as missing shingles, dents in metal roofing, or damaged flashing. Inside, look for leaks or water stains. If you're unsure, it's best to schedule a professional inspection to determine the extent of the damage.
What should I do immediately after my roof is damaged in a storm?
First, ensure your safety and that of your family by addressing any immediate hazards. Then, document the damage with photos and contact your insurance company to start the claims process. Finally, secure a professional roofing contractor to assess and temporarily repair the damage to prevent further issues.
How long do I have to file a claim for storm damage with my insurance company?
Most insurance policies require you to file a claim within a specific period, typically ranging from 30 to 60 days after the incident. However, exact timeframes can vary, so it’s best to review your policy or consult with your insurance provider for the precise details.
Can a storm damage inspection be done immediately, even if it's not safe to climb onto the roof?
Yes, a preliminary inspection can be conducted from the ground using binoculars or a drone to assess visible damage. Professional roofing contractors have the necessary tools and experience to evaluate your roof safely and can perform a more comprehensive inspection when conditions are safe.
Will my insurance cover the cost of roof repairs or replacement after storm damage?
Most homeowners’ insurance policies do cover roof repairs or replacement due to storm damage. However, coverage can vary based on your specific policy and the nature of the damage. It's crucial to review your insurance policy and discuss it with your provider to understand your coverage.
How long will it take to repair or replace my roof after storm damage?
The timeline for roof repair or replacement depends on the extent of the damage, the size of your roof, and weather conditions. Minor repairs may take a few days, while a full replacement could take a week or more. A professional roofing contractor can provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific situation.
